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.

After viewing the trailer shown at last week’s Comic-Con, Mr. Beaks, over at Ain’t It Cool, had a discussion with Brad Fuller and Andrew Form, about upcoming movie Friday the 13th. They had some interesting things to say about the film, the lore, the rumors, and more. Naturally, as a fan of the original movie, and a fan of Jared Padalecki, I have an interst in this movie.

Of course, they address one of the biggest surprises of the trailer, the fast moving Jason Voorhees. The lumbering giant of the first go-round, found his fast-twitch fibers in this remake. That makes for some tired victims, right before their horrific ends. This was part of a broad plan to make sure the characters, especially Jason, seem believable.

Check out the whole interview at Ain’t It Cool.

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.

What did you hate about it?

Jared gets a gift of candy, and shares some interesting information about the show and himself. At a fan’s request, he shows off his Texas accent. This is one of the most obvious episodes of his native pronunciation I’ve heard. Funny, after that, though, he slips back into the Texas dialect several times.

When he got there, he didn’t have his luggage, and purchased some undies. Unfortunately, he had trouble converting to Australian sizes, and bought them a smidge too small. Maybe this is why he slips into his Texas drawl. The hug is sweet. Awww!

Check out more videos, after the jump…

Hear what he says about Jensen Ackles‘ most annoying moments. He mentions the Sam/Dean simultaneous speech scene in Mystery Spot.

Yet more candy talk, too!

Apparently, he’s trying hard not to flex on camera. Either the Australians are quite behind, or Jared has quite a behind. Oh, my!

Enjoy!
