Supernatural Season Four Spoilers in a Post-Comic-Con World
When Eric Kripke appeared with Supernatural stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki at Comic-Con, fans sat on the edges of their seats. Kripke, though, was his usual cryptic self, leaking more teasers than wholesome spoilers for Season Four.
One nice touch for X-Files fans, Mitch Pileggi will show up as Mary Winchester’s father. Of course, it would be an interesting coincidence if Sam and Dean showed up to a mystery and meet Mulder and Scully. In a universe that holds both duos, it would almost need to happen, and they would be a lot more helpful than Bela ever was.
Kripke and the boys did open up a bit more about Season 4, though, at the press roundtable.
Diehard fans know that must, and will, come back. In fact, the title of the season premiere, Lazarus Rising, makes an early return for Dean less than mysterious. Mystery, however, is what Eric Kripke has in mind for Season Four. Although Dean comes back early, the mechanics and the players involved in how and why it happened will remain to unravel over time.
Along the many other mysteries, only over time will we discover any details of Dean’s fate in the underworld. One thing Kripke has alluded to, like in other mythologies (Buffy, for instance) time in Hell moves much faster than time here. Four months in our time may have been like years for poor brother Dean.
According to Kripke, after an awkward Season Three, Kripke says he’s ready to turn up the heat, going into the best years for Supernatural. At this point, the show’s abundant supply of loyal fans are in for quite a ride. Both main characters have hit bottom. Dean has literally been to Hell and back. We don’t know, for sure, how or why he was brought back. His time there has surely left him quite a mess, and he’s going to fit into the destiny that, previously, only included Sam. His quick, shoot from the hip, personality, however, will still be there.
Up till now, Sam’s special powers and dark side have only given us passing glances. Now, Jared Padalecki is excited to see the show explore these elements of Sam in Season 4.

I just hope and pray….and I do pray….that season 4 is way better than all the past Supernatural seasons.
Y’know i was leery about them sending Dean to hell at the end of S3, however hearing what they have in store for us for the next season is getting me excited! I was worried about missing out on my Dean-time, but this way he’s back the very first episode. <– I like that. But why stop there? We also get to have a healthy dose of dark, supernaturally powered Sammy! Yum~! Been wishing for this since “Born Under a Bad Sign” in S2.
wow… sounds like us spn fans are in for a treat! Cant wait! Even though i adore the relationship between the two brothers i still would like to see more of a dark side to Dean, after spending years in hell. Of course i still want to see his charms and jokes, but it would be good if he was to sometimes turn against his brother and put in him in life threatening situations, and then when he snaps out of and realises what hes done, he becomes more upset, but more determined to help himself as well as his little brother.
