Supernatural Exclusive: Jensen Ackles on the Season Finale and What He Wants Next!

We ran into Supernatural's Jensen Ackles on the golf course (his preferred habitat!) and couldn't resist asking him about the finale... and what comes next! Check out what he has to say about the brothers reunited and what he wants us to see come Sept. 10:

I couldn't agree more with what you want for next season, Jensen! It's all about the brothers!

Anyway, his portrayal of angels is just something to accept within the framework of the show, and pretty much to laugh at outside the framework of the show.

I really need to remember this, because Kripke is definitely frustrating me with how bad and corrupt the angels seem to be (with the exception of Castiel and Anna).

If the blood the YED bled into the mouths of the babies gave them all powers, then demon blood is a substance which changes the human body

See, THIS is what I have a problem with. Demons are not corporeal beings. They're black smoke that then take control of a body. The demon ITSELF does not contain any blood, it's their host that does. So from the very beginning it made NO sense to me that bleeding into the mouth of the babies could give them powers. If the demon itself had a corporeal form (like a werewolf, for instance) and it bled into the baby's mouth, then I'd have no problem with this special powers stuff. But it's the HOST'S blood that's going into Sam's mouth. We're supposed to believe that the demon can...infuse the host's blood somehow? I just have never bought that.

But I do agree with your explanation that Sam's an addict. I just think that he's an addict in his own mind.

We'll have to see where Kripke goes with this, because like you, I don't want to see him drop the ball on this, no matter what the explanation is. But I don't see him devoting another episode to watching Sam detox, which is why I think that Sam's going to get over his addition pretty quickly.

Oh, I SO agree with this! I can see them being able to keep a body that is mortally injured going, but to actually change the properties of the blood in some way so that it can 'infect' someone else by ingesting it? That doesn't make sense to me either. What about when the person is exorcised and lives? Are all of those changes gone? It seems like the blood being IN their body while they were possesed would be similar enough to their blood being ingested, to make changes in them as well, even after the demon leaves their body, right? See this is something that again, I think he just thought 'Cool, we'll do this" but didn't THINK IT THROUGH!

But again, my point it, he's already established that YED fed Sammy and the other children his blood, and it did give them powers, and that is how it is, so he has to continue with that in a logical manner. I feel like even if he has established something which is ilogical on it's face he STILL needs to keep within the parameters he's created. If demon blood gives babies powers, then demon blood changes people physically. But the effects can vary by the type of demon.

But I do agree with your explanation that Sam's an addict. I just think that he's an addict in his own mind.

I understand what you mean, but I'll agree to disagree on this. I see his detox as something real, mental but also physical, like the detox from alcohol or crack or any other substance. Especially the way his own powers went against him and started throwing him around the room, and the seizure he had.

I know that mental stress alone can give people heart attacks and things, but I have to admit it may be because I have an illness myself that some people consider to be 'all in my head' so I'm probably OVER sensitive to that as well. %P
