Jared Padalecki is likely to be on the circuit for his latest present, Walker: Independence, however that doesn’t imply that he’s not giving Supernatual fans something to talk about. In an interview with TV Insider, Padalacki talked about what a present going for 13 episode seasons may need completed for Supernatural.
“Jensen [Ackles] and I requested for 13-episode seasons of Supernatural, many, many, many instances.” stated Padalecki. “As a matter of reality, I really feel like if we had completed 13-episode seasons of Supernatural, we’d most likely nonetheless be doing Supernatural proper now.”
Was Supernatural goofy as hell? Sure. However does Padalecki have some extent right here? Additionally sure! “I believe a shortened season would simply be a extremely robust, action-packed, story-packed season the place we don’t must do an episode like “Bugs” in Season 1 of Supernatural.”
“Bugs”, for the report, was a highly-criticized episode that relied lots on misrepresentative stereotypes of Native American beliefs as a significant plot machine. It wouldn’t be the final time that Supernatural would step in it; however for those who’re doing a present that’s 15 seasons at a full community order—20-23 episodes per season—there are going to be a number of that don’t go the sniff check. Supernatural was 327 episodes lengthy! It actually holds the report for America’s longest-running, live-action, fantasy TV series.
The purpose right here is that Supernatural had a devoted core viewers, a vocal fanbase that confirmed as much as conventions and did their very own fanwork, unimaginable four-quadrant attraction, and had a monster of the week formulation that labored. If the present had slimmed down yearly, and even after season 5 or seven, the present might have gone a good additional distance. It had concepts! It swung for the fences! And in one other “French Mistake”-esque universe… Supernatural continues to be going robust.
