Los hermanos Winchester inadvertidamente desataron el Apocalipsis y, para empeorar las cosas, parece que están predestinados a ser los recipientes humanos para los hermanos disfuncionales: el arcángel Miguel y su hermano menor, el ángel caído Lucifer (Mark Pellegrino); en su máxima batalla fraternal. "El Apocalipsis puede sentirse épico para los soldados en el campo", dice Gamble, "pero para Miguel y Lucifer es un problema familiar que deben resolver y no ven otra forma de hacerlo. Con Supernatural pareciera que todo tiene que ver con los hermanos".
Aunque Sam ha arruinado las cosas en el pasado, cuando "Point of no Return" comience será su estoico hermano Dean quien tiene el peso de la muerte y la destrucción a su alrededor y la responsabilidad de que estos desordenes se detengan. "Definitivamente produce una gran tensión en la relación de los hermanos", dice Ackles. Sus amigos, según Gamble, están preocupados por sus estado mental. "Lo llevamos tan lento como puede ir".
El único rayo de esperanza: Sam y Dean deben aceptar que Lucifer y Miguel tomen sus cuerpos. En este punto, deben aceptar los alados y la tortura, pero ¿puede un Dean fatigado soportar sus propias dudas? "La pieza clave de este climático episodio es que Dean tiene que decidir si aceptar o seguir luchando", dice Misha Collins, el ángel aliado de los Winchester, Castiel." Lo que lo hace interesante es que no es una situación simple. Es un análisis complejo. Y, francamente, Dean tiene bastantes razones para decir que sí".
Mientras Dean se angustia por su oportunidad, Zachariah (Kurt Fuller) ha estado buscando frenéticamente una una ruta alterna para desatar el Apocalipsis. Y Cas, que ayuda a Dean, Sam y el cazador amigo Bobby (Jim Beaver) planean su siguiente movimiento, sintiendo que un poderosos juego se está tramando entre los ángeles. Él descubre que Adam (Jake Abel), el medio hermano de los Winchester (asesinado por un ghoul en la temporada 4) ha sido revivido. ¿Por qué?
Lo que sea que esté pasando, "Dean no quiere que nadie más tome el peso de sus problemas", dice Ackles. "Por eso es un personaje tan problemático". Y por qué Cas -en su propio infierno emocional y físico luego de ser expulsado del Cielo- toma una drástica acción. "Castien hace un gran sacrificio para darle a Dean la oportunidad de decir que no", dice Collins.
"Aparentemente los hermanos van hacia un camino sin salida", dice Ackles. "Deben enfrentarse y decir que no, o descubrir una forma de aceptar y hacer que funcione. Pero ¿puede ser los recipientes responsables de la cremación de la comunidad humana? Está contra todo lo que ello han peleado".

On the occasion of Supernatural's return with fresh episodes (Thursdays at 9 pm/ET, the CW), we grabbed a few minutes with Misha Collins to reflect a bit on his first season as Castiel and answer questions from TVGuide.com's readers. (A divine idea, no?) Here, following a bit of our own banter with Collins, is his take on purgatory plucking, questioning the Big Guy, old-school smiting and much more. (Also: Read my start-of-season Q&A with Misha.)
TVGuide.com: How was your first Supernatural convention experience this past weekend?
Misha Collins: It was good. I don't feel nearly as traumatized as I expected. I feel like a little bit of a whore, so that's a triumph in my book. I got some hand cramps from signing my name for too long, but that's an occupational hazard.
TVGuide.com: What twist in Castiel's storyline has surprised you the most so far?
Collins: That he's still alive. That's one. But also seeing the man whom Castiel possessed was both surprising and gratifying and really fun to play. We just finished shooting that episode, and that was cool. It was very different from what I was expecting.
TVGuide.com: What are the odds that you will be back next season?
Collins: Well, I've been told that I'm coming back, so the odds are good. I'd have to screw something up between now and the end of the month!
TVGuide.com: And now it's time for the TVGuide.com reader questions. Jenni asks, "Will Castiel ever talk to Dean about how exactly he was able to pluck him out of purgatory?"
Collins: Possibly — although Dean doesn't really seem to be that curious about it. He hasn't pried in that direction at all. I don't see why it should be a secret.
TVGuide.com: "Does Castiel know what happened to Sam and Dean's father after John helped them in the Season 2 finale? If so, will he tell them?" (jzchillin)
Collins: I don't think that Castiel does know what happened to their father. He's not omniscient by any stretch of the imagination. There's a lot of stuff that's cropped up this year on the show that has been news to Castiel, so there's no reason for me to believe that he knows what happened to Daddy-O.
TVGuide.com: "Is there anything that Castiel is afraid of?" (bklynkat23)
Collins: Scary movies?
TVGuide.com: "Are we going to see Castiel begin to doubt and/or question God's pronouncements, especially vis-à-vis Dean and Sam?" (kchez) First of all, that's an excellent use of "vis-à-vis.
Collins: Yes, it was excellent! I wish I could respond with matching stellar vocabulary, but.... "Yes" is the short answer to that question. Definitely.
TVGuide.com: JBird asks, "Will we find out more about the working relationship between Castiel and Anna?"
Collins: Yeah, we're going to see more of that and the dynamic between them.
TVGuide.com: "Will Castiel ever get to smite anyone old-school-style?" (derfel85)
Collins: What is old-school smiting? Is that, like, drawing and quartering or beheading...?
TVGuide.com: I'm thinking it's very brutal and non-sterile, perhaps employing a rusty mace.
Collins: We haven't done any smiting yet. But maybe we'll go in that brutal, medieval direction at some point.
TVGuide.com: "Will we get another Castiel/Alastair smackdown this season?" (Infamous_JR)
Collins: Yes.
TVGuide.com: "Jensen [Ackles] and Jared [Padalecki] are known for pulling pranks. Have they pulled any memorable ones on you yet?" (Shan79)
Collins: No, but we've had several instances where we've had laughing fits on set and it was really pissing off the crew, because we couldn't get the shot off.
TVGuide.com: "Do you think Castiel should fall, or he should stay an angel?" (ilda_winchester)
Collins: I think it would be more interesting if he fell.
TVGuide.com: "In the wake of [producer-director] Kim Manners' death, did the tone on set change for the long term, or did people realize that this is what he loved and continued to do their best to honor him?" (tidblgr)
Collins: I only did one episode with Kim, but it was amazing to see the effect he had on the crew. His leadership up in Vancouver very much affected the dynamic of how this crew operates. He lived in a hotel up here, and all the staff came to his memorial — the doorman, the housekeeper.... That's the kind of guy he was.
TVGuide.com: These last reader questions are not about Supernatural. For starters, "What are your inspirations for your poetry?" (writingpathways)
Collins: I guess haiku is an inspiration for me. Everyday, simple moments.
TVGuide.com: Salchan asks, "Can you really twist yourself up the way you did on Nip/Tuck, or was that partially CGI-tinkered?"
Collins: That was not CGI, but I cannot do it in an ongoing manner. Doing it once threw my back out for about 10 days. I played a yoga instructor who has an enormous [endowment] and can't stop [pleasuring himself orally]. So in the opening scene where they ask, "Tell us what you don't like about yourself," I got down on the floor and struck this pose.... But it hurt like hell.
TVGuide.com: And lastly, "In CSI , 24 and Seven Days, your accent was unbelievably believable. How did you manage that?" (T_T)
Collins: When I was in high school, I liked to pretend that I was a Russian foreign exchange student. I would do things like go into a pizza restaurant and tell them I'd never had pizza before, and they'd bring me into the kitchen and show me how to make an American pizza. It's really fun. People relate to you totally differently, and show you a side to themselves that you never see in your regular voice. So I guess the short answer is just "By f--king around."
TVGuide.com: Before you go, give us one more tease about what's coming up on Supernatural the remainder of this season.
Collins: We're definitely coming down to the wire on the apocalypse. There are some deaths in the future.
Entrevista a Misha Collins
Alguien debe haber hecho un pacto con el Diablo.
Desafiando las leyes de la televisión, las que dicen que las series suben rápido y gradualmente disminuyen, la serie de horror de la CW: "Supernatural," actualmente en su cuarta temporada, disfruta de buenas audiencias y tiene los signos de ser renovada para un quinto año.
Gran parte del crédito es del creador y productor ejecutivo Eric Kripke, quien ha hecho de la actual historia, Cielo vs. Infierno/Apocalipsis-en-proceso, digna de ser vista. También el crédito es de los actores Jared Padalecki y Jensen Ackles, quienes interpretan a Sam y Dean Winchester, los intrépidos hermanos que viajan por el país en su Chevy Impala del ‘67, para combatir las fuerzas del mal en todas sus formas.
Pero también hay un inesperado regalo desde el Cielo: Castiel (Misha Collins), el guapo y deportivo ángel que al principio de temporada rescató a Dean del infierno y que, junto a su compañero Uriel (Robert Wisdom), continúa vigilando a los chicos Winchester. El personaje se ha convertido en uno de los favoritos, y Collins se quedará mucho más que los seis episodios por los que había firmado inicialmente.
"Estoy completamente pasmado," dice Collins. "No tenía ningún indicio de que habría una reacción así. Sólo pensé que sería otro personaje recurrente que desaparecería rápidamente. Pero la reacción de los fans ha sido enorme y – estas son buenas noticias – si el programa obtiene una quinta temporada, me harán un personaje regular".
"Y yo creo que eso es debido a la reacción de los fans, los que han sido realmente asombrosamente sustentadores y un poco obsesivos."
Entonces ¿es Castiel un chico bueno en una mala situación o un chico malo tratando de prevenir una caída fatal? Collins, que a los 34 tiene una lista de créditos que incluyen apariciones en "Charmed" (1999) y "Without a Trace" (2007), un rol recurrente como asesino Serbio en "24" (2002) y un papel en la comedia/fantasía romántica "Over Her Dead Body" (2008), vota por las posibilidades.
"Me gustaría pensar que Castiel en un chico bueno en una mala situación," dice, al teléfono desde Brooklyn, donde visita a unos amigos. "No estoy completamente informado sobre lo que le depara el futuro, pero eso es en lo que estoy trabajando.
"Creo que lo que está pasando es que el Cielo no es un lugar tan perfecto," continua, "no es tan perfecto como nos gustaría imaginarnos, y hay una montón de intrigas burocráticas y sacrificios que deben ser hechos en el camino. Creo que el fin justifica los medios en la burocracia celestial, y Castiel no está, necesariamente, siempre feliz con eso”.
"Podría estar completamente equivocado, pero creo que él es bueno."
La personalidad de Castiel y su relación con Sam y Dean, como la que tiene con Uriel, continúa evolucionando, más para la satisfacción de Collins.
"En mi mente, Castiel comienza a desarrollar admiración por Dean y en la postura que Dean parece mostrar mientras sigue adelante," dice Misha. "Y he sido enviado como protector de Dean. Digo, los rescaté del infierno”.
"Creo que Sam es como una carta salvaje ante los ojos de las autoridades celestiales," dice el actor. "Creo que lo vemos como un aliado potencial o como una seria responsabilidad, y no estamos completamente seguros de cómo terminará el juego al final.
"Creo que Uriel es mucho más agresivo y dogmático que Castiel," Collins concluye, "y francamente no creo que nos llevemos muy bien, pero estamos forzados a trabajar juntos.
"Definitivamente son interpretaciones subjetivas, pero eso es lo que creo."
Ahora que está claro que Castiel seguirá por aquí un tiempo, Collins ve bastante desarrollo para su personaje.
Después de todo, en nuevo ángel en el pueblo no ha estado en compañía de personas de carne y hueso por más de 2000 años.
Misha Collins, ¿Regular para la Quinta Temporada?
Esto podría ser una buena noticia para los fans del ángel Castiel, ya que si la serie logra buenos resultados hasta el final de temporada y es renovada para un nuevo año, el personaje que interpreta Misha Collins estará entre los regulares.

'Supernatural' actor Misha Collins is the new angel on the block
By Ian Spelling

Someone must have made a deal with the devil.
Defying the laws of television, which stipulate that series peak early and gradually dwindle, the CW horror series "Supernatural," now in its fourth season, is enjoying a ratings surge and all signs point to a renewal for a fifth year.
Much of the credit goes to series creator/executive producer Eric Kripke, who has crafted the series' current, supremely watchable Heaven vs. Hell/apocalypse-in-the-making story lines, and to stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, who play Sam and Dean Winchester, the intrepid brothers who crisscross the country in their 1967 Chevy Impala, battling the forces of evil in all its many incarnations.
But there's also an unexpected gift from above: Castiel (Misha Collins), the handsome, trench-coat-sporting angel who earlier this season plucked Dean from Hell and who, with his partner Uriel (Robert Wisdom), continues to keep an eye on the Winchester boys. The character has become a fan favorite, and Collins will stick around far beyond the six episodes for which he initially signed on.
"I'm totally flabbergasted," Collins says. "I had no intimation that there would be any kind of reaction like this at all. I just thought it would be another recurring guest-star spot that would fade away real quick. But the fan reaction has been huge and - this is big news - if the show gets picked up for a fifth season, they're going to make me a regular on the show.
"And I think that's in large part due to the fan reaction, which has been really amazingly supportive and somewhat obsessive."
So is Castiel a good guy in a bad situation or a bad guy trying to avert a fatal fall? Collins, who at 34 has a list of credits that includes guest shots on "Charmed" (1999) and "Without a Trace" (2007), a recurring role as a Serbian assassin on "24" (2002) and a part in the romantic comedy/fantasy "Over Her Dead Body" (2008), votes for the former possibility.
"I would like to think that Castiel is a good guy in a bad situation," Collins says, speaking by cell telephone from Brooklyn, where he's visiting friends. "I'm not entirely informed as to what his future holds for him, but that's what I'm working with internally.
"I think that what's going on is that Heaven is not such a perfect place," he continues, "that it's not as perfect as we'd all like to imagine, and that there are a lot of bureaucratic machinations going on and sacrifices that have to be made along the way. I think the ends justify the means in the heavenly bureaucracy, and Castiel is not always necessarily happy with that.
"I could be totally wrong, but I think he's a good guy."
Castiel's personality and his relationships with Sam and Dean, as well as with Uriel, continue to evolve, much to Collins' satisfaction.
"In my mind Castiel is starting to develop an admiration for Dean and the stance that Dean seems to stake out as he goes along," Collins says. "And I have been sent as something of a protector of Dean. I mean, I rescued him from Hell.
"I think that Sam is a bit of a wild card in the eyes of the heavenly authorities," the actor says. "I think that we see him as being either a potentially great ally or a serious liability, and we're not really sure how that's going to play out in the end.
"Uriel, I think he's much more militant and more dogmatic than Castiel," Collins concludes, "and I don't frankly think that we get along that well, but we're sort of forced to work together.
"These are definitely subjective interpretations, but that's what I think."
Now that it's clear that Castiel will be sticking around awhile, Collins sees plenty of room for growth in the character.
After all, the new angel in town hasn't been in the company of flesh-and-blood mortals for more than 2,000 years.
