EXCLUSIVE: Jensen Ackles and Jared Padelecki Talk ‘Supernatural,’ Souls and Scary Challenges

“No rest for the wicked” is a common enough saying. But what about those who fight wickedness? Well, if they inhabit the ‘Supernatural’ universe, there’s no rest for them either.

The sixth season of ‘Supernatural’ certainly offered new challenges for Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, the show’s stars.

In the first half of the season, Sam Winchester didn’t have a soul, Dean Winchester had to recover from losing his little slice of domestic contentment and deal with the scarily unemotional RoboSam, and the brothers had to contend with an unusually difficult array of critters, creatures and demonic meddlers.

“The writing took those kind of reliable tools that we used and shelved them,” Ackles said of the RoboSam era. “It was a neat experience. They should never do it again,” he joked.

In fact, it became clear in the interview that both actors very much enjoy the challenges that ‘Supernatural’ throws at them, whether it’s gut-churning emotional developments or comedically-tinged episodes like Friday’s ‘Frontierland,’ an enjoyable diversion that finds the Winchester brothers in the Old West.
