Supernatural Season 11

[Kar]

And for our first bit of SPN season 11 news:

Question: Any Supernatural spoilers? —Erica
Ausiello: The Jensen Ackles-helmed Season 11 premiere* is titled “The Bad Seed” and now I know why: It marks the introduction of Amara, a femme fatale in her late 20s who possesses an acid tongue and a seductive beauty. The fearmonger is new to Earth and is so not impressed with the place. That doesn’t stop her from sticking around; she’s set to recur throughout the season. Not-So-Crazy-Theory: When The Darkness was released in the finale, this badass came with it. (*Even though the installment is numbered 1101, Supernatural episodes regularly air out of order — meaning, it could be the second or third ep of the season.)

From the Comic-Con panel:

Season 10 of Supernatural featured the Winchesters dealing with their own problems. Dean was a demon and then had to wrestle with the effects of the Mark of Cain, and Sam went down a dark path of his own to try to save his brother. Season 11 is changing the tone. Executive producer Jeremy Carver, writer Andrew Dabb, and cast members Jared Padalecki (Sam), Jensen Ackles (Dean), Misha Collins (Castiel), and Mark Sheppard (Crowley) made their annual appearance in Comic-Con's Hall H and discussed the road ahead with moderators Rob Benedict (Chuck Shurley) and Richard Speight, Jr. (the Trickster).

The upcoming season will bring the brothers back together to fight against the Darkness. Carver said, "Last year -- we're really proud of last season. We had a lot of intensely personal character stories and this year we're going back to more of an epic feel with a Big Bad and a real sort of quest for the brothers to unite on." He continued, "It's like a pre-biblical story... I feel like the brothers are going to be really, really united in their need to take this thing down."

When asked if he thought the Winchesters would be able to defeat the Darkness, Padalecki said, "I think we'll beat it because we're not the LOSEchesters." Both he and Ackles are looking forward to the brothers being a dynamic duo on the same side again. Ackles said that we're left with the clean up of getting rid of the Mark of Cain and said, "Now it's figuring out how to deal with decisions we've made... What I like about where we're going is -- the brothers are united [in a way] similar to Season 1 when we were looking for dad. It's not one of us inflicted with some sort of craziness."

The Darkness affects more than just Sam and Dean's world -- it ripples out to reach the world at large. Demons and angels will be part of the fight. Collins said, "So far, from what I have seen of the season, my impression is that we are united against a common enemy." All Sheppard would say about Crowley is that he's dead. He deadpanned. He did keep getting cracked up by Benedict talking to him with a stuffed hamster. That actually made the whole panel dissolved into tears of laughter.

Before the panel wrapped and before they showed the traditional gag reel, an audience member asked Carver about why the decision was made to kill Felicia Day's character Charlie. Several of the panelists hid under the table. Carver said, "That's an excellent question. It's tough just because any time you have a favorite character on a show -- people die on the show and unfortunately there's just so many ways to answer that -- it's tough for me to answer." He explained that it's a show where everyone seem to die at one point or another and generally made it sound like killing Charlie was not an easy decision.

Season 11 of Supernatural premiers on October 7th on The CW.

It all sounds good.

He completely dodged the question about Felicia Day.

 

[Kar]

Season 11 already sounds like classic SPN. No more "I'll die/do anything to save my brother" or "you lied to me?" plotlines. They're putting so much emphasis on the boys really working together and the demons and angels teaming up.

My question is, exactly WHAT is the Darkness?

 

[Orb]

They also spilled in a interview that Sam will have premonitions or false memories from what he believes to be from a higher power and in the form of past characters. Methinks this is a way for God to talk and help them out.

Could Sam be a new prophet?

 

[Orb]

I didnt think of that but that could be a VERY interesting development. Considering Kevin is dead a new prophet has to be shown up sooner or later. Also Episode 4 will a unique episode where the entire episode will take place within the Impala.

Also here are the Hall H panel and the Nerd HQ panel. Despite no spoilers they're still entertaining (and hilarious)

[Kar]

While the prophet theory is indeed interesting, I'm hoping that that's not the deal. Sam becoming a new prophet is just too much for me in my opinion. It makes the characters less interesting (to me) when you add more pre-destined/appointed chosen one plotlines to them on top of the fact that were meant to be the perfect vessels for Michael and Lucifer. But Sam's powers usually seem to work whenever Azazel was involved (sans season 4). Maybe Yellow Eyes is back somehow (which would make my ****ing day)

“We are doing an entire episode [titled ‘Baby’] in the Impala,” Carver revealed. “It’s going to touch on, ‘What happens in the moment when they agree to take a case and normally you cut to whatever and they’re walking in? What if you stayed in the Impala for another five minutes? What do they talk about then?'”

i wonder if this will be the meta episode.

 

[Kar]

I hope they'll set it up like its being seen through a dash cam video. Like "Cops" or something.

She'll probably be killed.

 

[Sawyer]

I saw one of the script cover pages on Twitter today, and it had Nancy Won listed with the producers. She was a writer on all four seasons of the Syfy Being Human. This pleases me.

 

[Kar]

So so far this season news wise we've got Amara, the Impala centric episode, and Sam having visions. What else do you guys think we're in store for this season?

 

[Orb]

There's also gonna be a two part bottle episode coming up.

 

[Kar]

Bottle episode?

 

[Orb]

"a bottle episode is produced inexpensively and restricted in scope to use as few non-regular cast members, effects, and sets as possible. Most bottle episodes are shot on sets already built for other episodes, frequently the main interior sets for a series, and consist largely of dialogue or scenes for which no special preparations are needed"

Example: Breaking Bad "The Fly"

 

[Sawyer]

......... anyway.

Apparently the Frequency pilot Carver was working on at NBC is now in development at the CW.

You think if the show gets picked up Carver might step down from SPN or he'll be able to run both? I REALLY wish we got the chance to see what a Ben Edlund season of the show would have been like. Maaaaan...

 

[Sawyer]

For as much as people bring that up, I really don't think Edlund wanted that job.

 

[S. Grundy]

Yeah, just look at his IMDb. He worked his way up from consulting producer to an executive producer, but by season 8 he was back to consulting producer. Which tells me he just wanted less to do, and to focus on writing.

But a lot of the stuff I've heard place him as the #3 man during season 7 behind Singer and Gamble.

The Darkness will be a global threat...

I really hope they play up on this. The apocalypse was handled okay, I suppose, with mentions of strange weather storms in the background. I get it, they didn't have the budget. I just get annoyed when things are hyped up to be huge cosmic threats and then we just get punching or easy defeats. And the Fall of the angels...I really think that was something that could have been played on. People feel out of the sky and it was called a meteor shower. Clever, but I wanted more.

But I like what I'm reading so far. Especially the part about it being a soft reboot taking it back to the days of the boys working together. This really should be fun.

But...but it wont be the same without the brother's 5 minute melodramatic talk/fight at the end of each episode.
