Ask Ausiello has posted a “Supernatural” spoiler.

Question: I’ll send you some birthday cake if you give me some Supernatural scoop about the 100th episode. —Annie
Ausiello: In the milestone episode, airing April 15,”a very important character will sacrifice themselves in a suicide mission,” reveals exec producer Sera Gamble. “We definitely kept in mind that this was [an important] episode. We wanted to deliver something with real scope; it’s about the Archangel Michael. Crises will come to a head for Dean and Castiel. And you’ll see characters you never thought you’d see again.”

Jared Padalecki has revealed that he shares a bond with his on-screen Supernatural brother Jensen Ackles. Speaking to SFX, the 27-year-old actor – Sam Winchester in the teen drama – said that the pair have “a whole lot in common”.

“We pretty famously, since day one, have understood each other and gotten along. We’re both middle children from Texas, and our families are strong and happy, and we just have a whole lot in common. He’s a low-key guy, like me. We’re here to make a show and we’re playing pretend for a living, so we’ve always had a fun rapport and it’s been nice because it’s pretty much me and him all day, every day, so if we clashed it’d be really uncomfortable for the 125 people that work on this set.”

Padalecki added that his bond with Ackles “has grown stronger” over the years. Supernatural continues on Thursdays at 9pm on The CW. (Source)

As we roll into the end of the fifth season, Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles took time out to talk with Supernatural Magazine about the enormity of it all. Here’s an excerpt from the Issue 14 interview which is on newstands now.

An interview with Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles

For nine months of the year, Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles are possessed by supernatural entities. It’s like demons – or angels – have taken over their bodies and they are powerless to do anything but watch their days unfold through someone else’s eyes while they speak someone else’s thoughts and live someone else’s lives. Of course, those entities are just the fictional characters they play for their TV show, but when they’re Sam and Dean Winchester for “sixteen hours a day, five days a week – it’s like being in a different world,” Padalecki related. “I’m Sam Winchester more often than I’m Jared Padalecki!”

When Jared and Jensen are working those kinds of hours in the mindset of brothers who are trying to stop the apocalypse while dealing with their dysfunctional relationship and coping with the fact that the blood of all humankind could be on their hands due to the roles they played in freeing Lucifer, the enormity of it all can be rather “exhausting,” Ackles confirmed. “It’s been an exhausting season so far.”

What’s surprisingly not difficult for Ackles is having to pretend like he wants to kick Padalecki’s Sam’s ass to Hell and back. “I love it when they fight each other!” he insisted with a laugh. “In the past, Dean could never stay mad at his little brother, but this time he could because he has all the reasons in the world to be mad: his little brother caused the Apocalypse! I mean, come on!”

Padalecki agrees. “I love the conflict. Before it was like, ‘Oh, you made a deal with a demon, didn’t you?’ ‘Yeah.’ ‘Uh, okay. So, how long?’ ‘A year.’ ‘You suck. I’ll find a way to get you out. Hug me.’ But then the situations obviously changed, so even though the brothers still cared about each other, what Sam and Dean went through changed them both and separated them more into individuals, so their relationship got much darker. I like the dynamic of brother versus brother when they both think they’re doing the right thing for the right reasons. And I would like to see how dark Sam could get.”

Both actors don’t actually expect that things will go darker; they expect that Sam and Dean will change the destinies laid out for them in The End. “They still have their own inner demons and skeletons and secrets and all that to deal with,” Padalecki pointed out, “but I’m sure they’ll get back together and join forces somehow.” Ackles agreed, adding, “Yeah, I kinda think they’ll spend most of the rest of the season trying to fix things up and forgiving their mistakes, especially Sam, because he’s feeling guilty for Lucifer’s rising on Earth. He’s admitting his faults and trying to find redemption.”

The CW network has given early renewals to 5 of its series: “Supernatural,” “Vampire Diaries,” “Gossip Girl,” “90210″ and “America’s Next Top Model.” When I asked a CW representative whether creator/executive producer Eric Kripke would return for “Supernatural’s” sixth season, I got a three-word reply: “Yes, he’s back.”

I sent a note to “Supernatural” executive producer Sera Gamble when I heard about the show’s renewal for a sixth season. I said I was happy to hear that the show would be returning, but I had to be a little cheeky and ask if viewers would be getting “The Apocalypse 2: The Squeakquel” next season. Here’s her response:

“No, you will not be getting Apocalypse, The Squeaquel in Season 6 (that’s hilarious),” Gamble wrote. “We’re climaxing that story this season. We’ve been working on the Season 6 storyline for quite some time, and we’re very excited about it. We have lots of ideas, and are grateful for the chance to keep the show going.

“Please tell the fans that the writers say thank you! We so appreciate the support.”

Remember when Kripke said he had a five-year plan for the show? However, as he said last summer at Comic-Con, Kripke has re-thought that plan and has stated various times in the last year or so that he could see how the Winchesters’ story might last longer than five years. And based on Gamble’s comments, it’s looking like we’ll get a whole new story line when the Winchester return in the fall of 2010

So, my fellow “Supernatural” fans, the Winchester chronicles will get a Season 666. Wait, I meant Season 6 — my fingers slipped on the keyboard. Or maybe the Devil made me do it? (Source)

After Los Angeles and New York City, Vancouver hosts the most TV shows and movies in North America. And, even though others are making a profit off the 2010 Winter Olympics, the city’s film industry has decided to take a breather until the snow bunnies and news crews are gone. That means there will only be five productions working around the commotion, including a new movie starring James McAvoy and Fringe.

I’m With Cancer, which is being produced by Seth Rogen, a Vancouver native, is the only movie that will brave the chaos of the Olympics. The movie is set to begin production sometime in the next two weeks, right in the thick of Olympic fever. The movie stars Rogen and James McAvoy, who recently made it clear he felt there may be some logistical issues during the shoot. “We’re going to be the only movie filming in Vancouver during the Olympics,” he said. “There is a reason no one else is filming during the Olympics.”

Only four of the series that regularly shoot on location in Vancouver will also stick it out during the games. Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, will continue shooting the fifth season of Supernatural in order to stick to a scheduled hiatus that begins next month. The show frequently films rural exteriors outside of the city centre and will most likely continue to do so for the next two weeks.

JJ Abrams’ Fringe, starring another local boy, Joshua Jackson,will take the first week of the games off but is expected to be back at work the following week on Feb. 22 in and around Vancouver.

The new FOX series Human Target will continue to shoot in the city throughout the games and they may even work the games into their storyline. “We’re actually going to put the Olympics in the show, and they don’t know that,” on of the show’s stars, Chi McBride said. “It’s a great location to work in, a great place to shoot. You get taken hostage a little bit by the weatherman once in a while, but we can go to interiors for that.”

And finally, the ABC series V, starring Elizabeth Mitchell, has also decided to push on through the games since they just started filming episodes again last month. V typically films most of their scenes in a studio which will definitely come in handy while the streets of Vancouver are flooded with tourists who would just love to see a big time American TV show filming.

Next week’s Supernatural episode brings back Castiel, Anna and one very cool angel power: time travel. Unlike season 4’s “In the Beginning,” this time both Sam and Dean are traveling back in time to protect Mary and John from an assassination plot to prevent the boys from ever being born.

After coming back from the long winter break, Supernatural has been stuck in stand alone episodes about a psychiatric hospital and body swapping, so it’s good to see the show getting back to the on-going mythology.

It also means we’ll get to see young John and young Mary again, a few years after the events of “In the Beginning.” Check out these two new clips featuring the boys transporting back in time and meeting their young parents.

The apocalypse may have to wait. CW boss Dawn Ostroff says Supernatural creator Eric Kripke is warming to the idea of a sixth season.

“I think he’s in that state of mind,” she says. “I had lunch with Eric the other day and he’s really excited about the show right now. I think he feels this season has been really satisfying for him. He’s certainly not running out of ideas by any stretch of the imagination.”

Ostroff, who says Kripke has been “hitting it out of the park” creatively this season, also points to Supernatural’s ratings success as proof the show has a lot of life left in it. “The ratings are up,” she says. “We have more young women coming to the show than ever before. There aren’t a lot of shows that you can say are doing better in their fifth year.”
