Misha Collins Interview

Thanks to our friends over at SuperWiki (Twitter) for the heads up…

—————————————————
Misha Collins co-stars as Castiel on CW’s “Supernatural”.

The Somerville native also built his house, started a software company, writes poetry and makes furniture.

“The trick is to do none of them particularly well,” Collins said in a telephone interview from Vancouver. “Clearly, I still do wonder what I’m going to be when I grow up. The career of film and TV actor, or at least my career, is one that has given me a lot of free time.”

When the 35-year-old actor landed the part last season, it was only supposed to run for three episodes. But both producers and fans responded to his character.

“The show sure does have an avid fan base,” he said. “For instance, I’ve got fan sites in China which I never had before, and that’s kind of nice to know that you got that out there. There’s a certain devotional enthusiasm that the fans have that I was only peripherally aware existed in the world, and now I’m thrust right into the middle of it, which so far has been quite entertaining and fun.”

Though he was born in Somerville, he spent time in Billerica and then moved with his mother to Northfield. He studied social theory at the University of Chicago and worked as a White House intern before deciding to pursue acting.

Collins clearly has a healthy sense of humor. Encouraged by the CW publicity team to start a Twitter account, he did (under mishacollins) but turned it into something unusual.

“I noticed that a lot of celebrities and people in the public eye were doing a lot of tweeting, which was really unbelievably mundane and idiotic, as if they were at the center of the world and everyone needed to know when they were going to the bathroom,” he said.

“I started playing on that as if I thought I was at the center of the world and that everything I was doing was incredibly important.”

A visit to his Twitter page, which has more than 31,000 followers, finds him giving fashion advice to Sarah Palin and working with Newt Gingrich on health-care reform.

This season, “Supernatural” has aired several entertaining stand-alone episodes, but Collins hinted that things will become more serious when the show returns with new episodes in January.

“The confrontation between (the angels) and Lucifer is definitely ramping up,” he said. “The mythology is ramping up. I think the season has been pacing itself out a little bit so as not to (spend all its energy) all at once. But I think that as we get toward the finale, it will get more intense.”

The big question looming over the show’s fifth season is whether “Supernatural” will return for a sixth season. Collins hopes so.

“But beyond that, I hear wildly different speculation from every camp and corner,” he said. “It’s certainly a possibility, but I don’t know.”

The ‘Ghostfacers’ Named as Format Breaking Episode !

Thanks to our friends over at SuperWiki for the heads up…

—————————–
14 Greatest Format-Breaking SF & Fantasy TV Episodes Ever 12

12 Supernatural
“Ghostfacers” (2008)

Another appearance by the two geeky ghost-hunters from first season episode “Hell House” was always on the cards, as Harry Spangler (Travis Wester) and Ed Zeddmore (AJ Buckley) were perfect comic relief foils for the Winchesters. And boy, did the writers do it well, bringing them back with a full team of spirit chasers – the eponymous Ghostfacers – to investigate a creepy house using handheld and night vision cameras in a spoof that probably made Most Haunted a little grumpy. The Facers bump into the Winchesters, suffer a loss and witness a frankly chilling birthday party (despite the humour, this has some very scary bits). But it’s the gleeful way the episode breaks the rules that makes it so brilliant, from characters swearing and having the words bleeped out to Dean giving the camera a (pixellated) finger in the opening credits. The Ghostfacers picked up their own fan following after this – it’s not hard to see why.

COULD SOMEBODY PLUH-EASEEEEE CLEAR THAT MESS UP ?

I mean, we should stick up to the CW promo that we posted last week, right ? Or maybe the schedule has changed again and the CW didn’t take the time to warn the fans about it ? Maybe they told E! about it ? Arffff my head hurts…

Time flies when you’re battling demons and preventing apocalypses and stuff. Case in point: Supernatural will celebrate its milestone 100th episode this spring with an hour that focuses largely on Dean (Jensen Ackles).

“We’re aiming for it to be a big mythology episode,” reveals Supernatural boss Eric Kripke, adding that, “The Archangel Michael plays a very large part as we explore his relationship with Dean.”
But what form will Arch Mike take? The comments section is currently accepting your predictions…

Jen : I guess we can now assume that Jensen Ackles won’t be directing the 100th episode ! Well that’s too bad, but that episode still seems to be awesome so I’m still lookin’ forward to it !

The only thing that’s kinda disturbin’ me here is the fact that… Apparently that episode will be a ‘Dean-Centric’ ep, so… What about Sam ? Doesn’t he have a role to play in all this ?!

Anyway, as soon as we get more info on that episode, you’ll be the first to know

New Eric Kripke Interview

With network shows going on hiatus till the new year, the holiday season is a ripe time to watch series that you haven’t caught up on yet or have missed entirely. Our Brian Truitt thinks the one show you should be watching if you’re not already is Supernatural, the CW horror drama starring Jared Padalecki (pictured, on left) and Jensen Ackles as a pair of demon-hunting brothers currently trying to stop Lucifer and the Apocalypse in the show’s fifth season. If you want to check out the DVDs over your holiday break, Brian says the past four seasons are as witty, emotional and well-written as this year, which has taken the show’s mythology to a whole new level. Yesterday, Brian talked with Supernatural creator Eric Kripke, and while we’ll have more from the interview online and on my Who’s News page around when the show returns Jan. 21, the two talked a little about the biblical goings-on that has made this season of Supernatural a must-see.

When Supernatural first began on the WB in 2005, the story was simple: Dean Winchester (Ackles) recruits his little brother Sam (Padalecki) back into the family business of monster-busting in order to find their missing dad (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). At that time, Kripke had mapped out his grand, five-season plan that would feature Dean getting sent to hell, Sam flirting with his demonic dark side, Lucifer appearing on Earth and the Apocalypse starting. But a funny thing happened on the way to the end of the world: the heavenly host. “I had a rule as late as season three where I said I didn’t want angels on this show because I didn’t want to do the Michael Landon Highway to Heaven thing,” Kripke says. But while puttering around his house one day, it hit him that angels might be a good idea after all. “Old Testament angels, like warrior angels who smite and angels who destroy cities: That could be a whole new real estate that we hadn’t explored yet,” he recalls. “Star Wars had that amazing off-camera scope, where you had this massive empire and this massive rebellion, but the story is about a farm boy, a princess and a pirate. The angels and demons gave us this massive off-camera scope that Sam and Dean didn’t always have be so closely involved with. It really threw the whole world into focus for us.”

And it led to what’s become the big theme of this season. God has essentially gone missing from heaven, the angels are kind of a corrupt bunch, and the archangel Michael has chosen Dean to be his “weapon” against the fallen angel Lucifer (Mark Pellegrino), who wants Sam to be his vessel on Earth in this biblical face-off. “Once we started looking at the Lucifer/Michael story and realizing it’s a story about a loyal big brother and a disobedient little brother and their father and their relationship with him, we realized how closely it mirrored Sam and Dean’s story and that this is of course where everything had to culminate,” Kripke says. “This has always been a show that was primarily about family, and the thematics were always different aspects of family relationships: Do you obey your father or do you rebel? How much do you trust your brother? What’s more important, your family or your own personal ambition? We have this attitude that angels, demons, afterlife and the supernatural, it’s all just static, and that what’s really important is taking care of each other and taking care of your brothers, whoever they may be.”

Last night’s episode, the final one of 2009, featured Lucifer facing off against Sam, Dean and the good fallen angel, Castiel (Misha Collins), as Lucifer summoned the second of his Four Horsemen, Death. War was introduced earlier, and Kripke says that while Pestilence shows up near the end of the season, we’ll meet Famine in a February episode. “When you’re under the effects of Famine, you’re not necessarily hungry for food. You’re hungry for whatever that thing is you’re starving for, be it alcohol or attention or love or sex or Twinkies or heroine or gambling. We found a way to create a really quirky and disturbing and provocative episode because everyone at the end of the day is starving for something, and Famine brings that out.” Also, Michael will finally make his appearance in an episode where Sam and Dean go back and see their mom and dad as newlyweds. Michael’s “the one who kicked Lucifer’s ass the first time and is now gearing up for the rematch,” Kripke says. And the boys will visit heaven for the first time. “In case anyone wanted to know, heaven looks a lot like Vancouver,” Kripke quips. “At least we’ve been able to answer that question.”

And yes, God will definitely be appearing, Kripke reveals, probably in the season finale. “One of the storylines this season is about searching for God, and we want to answer that in our own way.” He says that that’s a tough casting call and chuckles at the suggestion of Christopher Walken maybe playing his Big Man Upstairs. “We’re just trying to figure out God’s motivation, and I tell you, that’s a weird place to be when you’re like, ‘So what’s God’s feeling in this scene?’ We’re talking about what should He be like as a character and what should His world view be. It’s like, when God talks, people listen. Whatever message He delivers, it’s going to be the message of the show.”
