Latest spoilers from Ausiello - more thematic than actual spoielrs, plus speculation about Castiel
Question: It’s really looking like Cas is going to be killed off in Episode 2 of Supernatural. Can you give us any hope at all that he’ll survive beyond that? -Tabitha
Ausiello: Nope, and neither can his portrayer Misha Collins. “I would love to tell you [but] I’m not going to,” he told TVLine over the weekend at Comic-Con. “I don’t like to give away secrets… You might see me a lot next year. If you have a poster of me on your wall, you’ll see me daily. But how much I’ll be on Supernatural is a secret. And I actually don’t know. That makes it easier to not tell you.” When we do see Cas, he will be “drunk with power,” reveals Collins. “He’s trying to do what he thinks a God should be doing on Earth and in Heaven, which is fairly righteous and wrathful. Rectifying the world’s problems. I think he’s making, in many respects, the world a better place. But there’s a fair amount of smiting going on too. You take the good with the bad.”
Question: Any Supernatural spoilers? Please? -Nic
Ausiello: Look for Sam and Dean’s already difficult lives to get even tougher. After years of skirting the law, the boys are “starting to be found,” Jared Padalecki teased at Comic-Con, which means the Winchesters are “losing a lot of our aces in the hole.” Adds executive producer Ben Edlund, “We’ve been saying that they do things a certain way. Their techniques, their methods - they know what they’re doing. They know their job. They have their support networks. Those things in their lives are going to challenged.” Insert the Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid feel showrunner Sera Gamble teased to us back in May, and, “They’re going to find themselves, in a sense, running from lots of guns,” continues Edlund. “The stuff they face this season, it’s massive.” But Edlund believes there’s still room for laughs. “There’s a natural absurdity to being on the air for seven seasons and the number of times they’ve died,” he says. “There’s a quality that’s going to lend itself to a little more ambient comedy this year.”
The two of these spoilers together tell us...well a little bit. TWe've heard a few versions now of the 'Butch and Sundance' theme, about the world closing in on the boys, and how they'll be losing a lot of their support mechanisms. From what we heard at Comic they'll be more emphasis on how they actually survive - dealing with getting money, and covering their tracks. My guess is that the big thing they'll be facing this year might be the law in some form - FBI or Homeland security. THIS EXCITES ME.
Given that - obviously Cas can't be present as an ally with divine powers. Either or both of those elements need to be attacked. This is SPN so yes Cas could be killed, but he could also be made mortal. Other plots could have him imprisoned or banished. It could be some form of redemption, coupled with a 'but you must stay away from humanity' codicil.
Given how Sera and Ben talked about wanting to do the things fans least expect - I HAVE NO IDEA. Although I think death is the most unlikely outcome. And that whatever happens the interwebs will explode after episdoe 2!
