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.

Thanks to my compatriot Cynthia, from SF Universe, and Karla Petersen at the Union-Tribune.

To start it off, Supernatural’s Dean Winchester, Jensen Ackles, shares his thoughts on Season 4. He hints at some of the spoilers we’ve heard, like about what Dean went through in Hell, and what Sam was up to for four long months.

Eric Kripke offers his open-ended invite to bring Jeffrey Dean Morgan. He also offers the new, strange direction for Supernatural. Watch to see what I mean.

He also reveals that the Halloween episode will give the holiday treatment similar to what A Very Supernatural Christmas did for Christmas.

Note that the ancient holiday common to the Celts was Samhain, pronounced as if spelled “SOW-en“, not like Sam Hane. It was nice, however, to hear that the legacy of Donald Pleasance lives on.

Sera Gamble, talented writer and now show executive, gives extremely broad descriptions of Season Four. She did admit that every season just gets worse and worse for everyone.

Supanova posted a video of Supernatural’s Jared Padalecki, along with Jewel Staite of Stargate: Atlantis. They both have interesting things to say about the crowds, and how great it is to meet the fans. They both also said they jump at the chance to go to Australia. Well, we know for sure that Australia loves them, as well.

Jensen Ackles (Dean Winchester) has signed on as a special guest at next year’s Salute to Supernatural Los Angeles 2009 set for the last weekend of March. The returning Creation Entertainment convention has already proven to be an incredible event for fans, thanks to its intimate setting with the stars of the show.

2008’s convention included Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, Frederic Lane, Chad Lindberg, Steve Carlos, Jason Manns, and creator Eric Kripke.

So far, only Jensen Ackles appears on the list for L.A. 2009, but it’s still early. Creation Entertainment has done a consistently great job, and attracts a great combination of Supernatural actors to all of its events. So, I expect to report the appearance of more hunter-, demon-, and other monster-playing actors from the show. I hope to report that Jared Padalecki will show up on that list.

Creation Entertainment’s Salute to Supernatural Los Angeles 2009

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday March 27 – 29, 2009
Marriott Los Angeles Airport
