Thanks to everyone who sent this in.
We sat down with Jared Padalecki on set this week to discuss how the trials would impact Sam -- and suffice to say, it's not going to be pretty. "It's like a consumption," Padalecki says. "Like he's having Tuberculosis type [symptoms], hacking up blood and kind of trying to hide it from his brother. Nasty, but kind of cool."
For the first time, Sam and Dean seem to have a light at the end of the tunnel, at least when it comes to demons. "There is no finish line, but it is a finish line," he says. "If they accomplish these trials, they can shut the gates of hell forever and keep demons out of earth, so they really want to do it. It's not easy, and it seems like something that could kill either one or both of the boys, but it's worth the trade-off in their opinion."
Things will definitely get ugly for Sam as the trials take a physical toll on him -- which is convenient, since Padalecki isn't exactly in fighting shape himself after taking a fall on the ski slopes over his holiday vacation. He's still nursing a broken rib.
"I'm concerned, as an actor, of what these trials are going to do to my character," Padalecki admits. "It's going to get pretty taxing ... He's starting to lose some of his physical prowess as well. Today we're doing a fight where Sam is really getting beat down because he's kind of lost a step ... so I'm concerned about how beat down Sam's going to get."

ReplyDeleteThanks @twitter-45882896:disqus I'll add it now.
ReplyDeleteG'day everyone ;)
ReplyDeleteI have watched this show since season 1 and still my fav show, nothing can ever replace it!.
The last two seasons have been very different but like all other seasons I think the last two were actually quite good (a lot would disagree) but this season has a different dynamic to it which I like.
The last episode has given me a surprise, because the hellhound thing sounded more of a Dean thing (he was really brave for putting his hand up). But I think it suited Sam better because he's man of the letters, which might come in handy for another trial maybe?. At the back of my mind I am theorising that his powers may need to come back?, his arm was glowing like sunshine, it gave me that impression. Another theory is that Dean might kill Naomi, could that be his important role?. I can't quite think about what will Cas do but I hope he's going to be up and running soon!.
Really glad to join here! :)
Love him!!!!
ReplyDeleteJust remember that this is a passionate bunch of fans that know this show backward and forward; unlike anything I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteAlways love to see what other people think and how they perceive the show.
Welcome and have fun!
I think everyone who complained about Sam not having enough to do can be satisfied now that he's getting the brunt of the demon shut-down arc.
