The Winchester Mythology: Clash of the British Men of Letters (2017, пост-12 сезон)
Из моего твиттераИз моего твиттера
9:44 AM · 20 авг. 2021 г.
Только сейчас добралась до просмотра 15-минутной документалки из допов к 12 сезону. С интересом посмотрела. Не то, чтобы там было что-то кардинально новое, но так... несколько неочевидных вещей. И забавно было видеть Дэвида в облике Кетча, но вне образа.
Из того, что показалось интересным:
1) The British Men of Letters - гораздо "старше" американских. Да, говорили, что им не один век, но я автоматически заключила, что и американским столько же. Нет.
2) Он продвинутее не только в оружие и прочих девайсах, но и в технике колдовства.
3) Кетчу нравится убивать в принципе, и вероятно, он бы пошел по этой дорожке даже, если бы не стал членом Men of Letters.
4) Хэсс - одна из 2-3 старейшин, которые управляют всей организацией.
5) Тони Бевел - социопат, Кетч - психопат. Тони - problem solver, решательница. Кетч - эксперт в своем деле.
6) Мик - особенный случай, и в какой-то момент он в шоке обнаруживает, что жив где-то внутри, хотя его столько времени programmed думать иначе.
7) Кас при первом столкновении с британцами им не симпатизирует - из желания защитить Винчестеров или даже из ревности, но позже его отношение меняется, и он начинает относиться к ним, как полезным инструментам.
1:21 AM · 22 авг. 2021 г.
Пока не забыла пришедшую мысль. По следам той документалки про британцев.
Этого впрямую не говорится, но я думаю, что британцы, наверное, были родоначальниками Men of Letters. Вряд ли это "движение" могло зародиться там и там параллельно.
Скорее, в какой-то момент в US из UK прибыли либо "миссионеры", либо "первые поселенцы" - организаторы борьбы с монстрами на интеллектуальной основе.
В фильме же просто перечисляется, что они очень организованные и следуют выработанным правилам.
Но правила и система отшлифованы до такого блеска, что работают как идеальная, хорошо смазанная машина, и отчасти поэтому у британцев работают исполнители, которым не надо задумываться над приказами (хотя последнее уже больше мой вывод).
Но они правда были как переброшенная на новое место часть единого организма. Я помню, что еще при первом просмотре удивилась, что Кетч живет не в отеле.
Мне казалось, что если приехали "коллеги", то они просто селятся по отелям и все. А у них оказалась военнизированная база.

Сделано из субтитров. Курсивом отмечены вставки из сериала. Отдельные реплики из разных сцен отделены новой строкой с троеточием.
Кроме того, все, кроме Сингера и актеров, так же были сценаристами в 12 сезоне.

Mick Davies: Let me paint you a picture of a world without monsters, or demons, or any of those little buggers that go bump in the night.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): The British Men of Letters is a well-oiled machine. There are ranks and there are rules and there's a Code...
Dr. Hess: The Code is what separates us from the monsters. it is the order by which we all live.
...
Dean: Oh. "The Code."
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): And if you're a Men of Letters, you coordinate things. If you're their version of hunters you go out and you kill and you don't ask questions.
Dr. Hess: Hunters are dogs. You give them an order and they obey.
...
Arthur Ketch: We're good dogs, we only come when called.
Robert Singer (executive producer): The American Men of Letters are basically intellectuals. They didn't go out into the field. You know, they gathered information, they kept extensive libraries, they would have meetings and discuss, you know, how to do things, what's the cure for this? How do we kill that? British Men of Letters, there's a lot of fieldwork with them, where they would dispatch hunters to take care of a problem.
Lady Toni Bevell: The moment a monster steps foot in Britain, we know about it. Within 20 minutes, he's been picked up. And within 40, he's dead.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): The British Men of Letters is a larger organization than the Americans were. They go back hundreds and hundreds of years. They're much more organized and institutionalized than the Americans were. The Brits are ruled by a panel of elders. Dr. Hess is one of those elite. And Dr. Hess also runs the Kendricks School.
Mick Davies: The Kendricks School, it's like our...
Sam: Hogwarts?
Mick Davies: Exactly.
David Haydn-Jones (Arthur Ketch): British Men of Letters see the American hunters as sloppy, undisciplined, vulgar.
Dean (с набитым ртом): You want anything?
Jensen Ackles: The British Men of Letters, I think, look at American hunters and just assume that everybody's kind of, you know, bush league, so to speak.
David Haydn-Jones: They just see a better way, and they really believe that all monsters are evil and need to be eradicated. Well, then, that's it, isn't it?
Dr. Hess: There are no restrictions. Family members, bystanders. Don't leave witnesses.
Jared Padalecki: The British Men of Letters were very methodical about it. If killing these 10 things saves 15 other things, then we kill these 10 things, even if two are innocent.
Steve Yokey (executive story editor): The British Men of Letters have this attitude of, "We're here to fix things". "We're gonna come down from our ivory tower" and clean up the messes that you've made."
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): The British Men of Letters are pretty aggressive about their techniques. They just don't do it themselves, they have experts.
Ms. Watt: You need to make the call. Bring in Mr. Ketch.
...
Dean: All right, so what have you found on Her Majesty's secret suck bags?
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): Well, when we meet Dr. Hess, she's of course really heartless, and really embodies, I think, the ethos of the British Men of Letters. Tradition, authority, a Code...
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): She's the person who, along with two or three other people, really give the orders that drive the entire organization.
Dr. Hess: Either Sam and Dean, and the rest of their ill-bred lot learn to obey, or you turn them over to Mr. Ketch.
Robert Berens (supervising producer): Ketch is such a dangerous killer and such an asset to the British Men of Letters, because he enjoys killing for its own sake. He'd probably be a murderer even if he wasn't employed by the British Men of Letters.
Dr. Hess: You kill without mercy. You'll be fine.
David Haydn-Jones: I call him the Butler Assassin and also he's sort of Monster Bond.
Lady Toni Bevell: Toni Bevell, Men of Letters, London Chapterhouse.
Steve Yokey (executive story editor): I think Toni is a problem solver, and that Ketch is the tool that she uses to solve those problems. I would say that Toni is a sociopath, and that Ketch is a psychopath. That's where they fit.
Mick Davies: No argument, Lady Bevell went too far. I deeply apologize.
Steve Yokey (executive story editor): I think Mick is special.
Dr. Hess: You have both conquered many trials here at Kendricks, either through natural talent, or good, old-fashioned hard work.
Adam Fergus (Mick Davies): He's inherently good. He knows a lot of the stuff that they do is wrong.
Robert Berens (supervising producer): He was inculcated in the Code, in the British Men of Letters way of life, at such a young age, really, before he could make an informed moral choice. And now he's lived for years working for the British Men of Letters in a situation that is not as morally gray as the situation he finds himself, now that they're in the US.
Robert Singer (executive producer): They have to stick to the Code. There's no room for gray areas. It's all black and white. And then they are sort of just thoughtless automatons, who just do what they're told.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): British Men of Letters would say, "We follow these rules because they are the most efficient way to keep the most number of people safe."
Dean: Here's a little tip. Things aren't just black and white out here. Well, now Hayden's mom, she gets to bury two kids, instead of one. Thanks to you and thanks to your Code.
Jensen Ackles: I think Dean's always been a bit of a black and white kind of person, where it's just, you know, if it's a monster you kill it, that's end of story. And... And, Sam was really the one who questioned that. And was like, "No. Listen, there might be a way to save the person or the vessel."
Mick Davies: At first, I was shocked at how Sam and Dean operate. But what Lady Bevell doesn't mention is the lives they've saved, monsters destroyed, and outcomes made better not because of the Code, but because of Sam and Dean Winchester's sense of what's right.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): Mick Davies, he's brought into the organization as a disadvantaged kid. He understands the Code. He rejects the Code.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): He's shocked to find that he even has that still alive in his brain, because he has been so programmed to think otherwise.
Mick Davies: I owed you everything. And I obeyed. But I'm a man now, Dr. Hess. And I can see the choices. And I choose to do the right thing!
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): One person, once he tried to be an individual, and tried to, you know, argue for Sam and Dean, he gets killed. Because he stepped out of line. You break a rule, there are major consequences. Mick felt those very brutally.
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): Well, aside from torturing and humiliating the boys, their ultimate game plan is to annihilate them. They're willing to try to assimilate them, and "assimilate" really means to the British Men of Letters, subjugate. And you can't do that to Sam and Dean, who are just too willful, and too used to living under their own rules.
Dean: We're not trapped out here with you, you're trapped out here with us.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): Our hunters have always been loners, independents, wildcards. They're not going to lick the boots of the Brits, which doesn't set well with the Brits.
Dr. Hess: Assimilate or eliminate.
...
Mick Davies: Let me paint you a picture of a world where no one has to die because of the supernatural, of a new world, a better world.
Mary: I'm listening.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): Mary has come back into this world, that is in some ways incredibly different from what she left when she died 30 years ago. Her kids are grown up, there are iPhones now, in some ways it's very much a new world. In the most fundamentally important way, it's exactly the same, which is that there are still monsters out there, innocent people are still dying. What's appealing to her about the British Men of Letters is they are promising to end that. They are promising to change the world. There are no more monsters. She can let her boys go off and lead normal lives. That's why she's there.
Samantha Smith (Mary): Mary, working with the British Men of Letters, was a decision that she knew would not be popular with her kids. But, as a mother does, if she thinks it's the best thing for her family and her children, that's what she's gonna do.
Mary: Working with them, I was trying to make things right.
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): They have wonderful techno gadgets, and they've even managed more than the American Men of Letters, to combine technical expertise with sorcery.
Robert Berens (supervising producer): Back in the UK, you know, the monster threat is more or less in control. They basically wiped them out.
Arthur Ketch: The British Men of Letters are centuries old, lads. We can offer expertise, weaponry, skills.
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): All the technologies, being able to turn Rugaru brains into soup, I mean, that's a great thing.
Robert Berens (supervising producer): Well, they have incredible equipment, they have incredible resources, it makes them incredibly efficient killers of monsters.
Arthur Ketch: We don't always decapitate vampires. We irradiate them.
Sam: Cool.
Arthur Ketch: Mmm. The toys are the fun part.
Robert Singer: Sam initially and Dean grudgingly, see these tools that the British Men of Letters have, and so it's a real, kind of, push-pull for them.
Dean: Was that a grenade launcher?
Arthur Ketch: Quite.
Robert Singer (executive producer): They don't wanna jump in with both feet, but, you know, they got to admire the weaponry.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): Sam, I think, has given up on the idea of having a normal life, but you can't argue with the result. British Men of Letters killed more vampires in three months than Sam and Dean have killed in their entire lives.
Serena: There were 241 vampires active across 12 states. We've killed all but 11.
Sam: How?
Brad Buckner (executive producer): Sam, being the cooler head, started really looking at the picture as Mary had done and said, "You know, there could be a time where there are no monsters."
Sam: I'm in. You're changing the world. And I want to be a part of it.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): He was willing to entertain the possibility, and he eventually seduced Dean into taking part of it as well.
Arthur Ketch: You, halo, do you sense I'm lying?
Cas: But the truth can be situational.
Arthur Ketch: Oh, I do enjoy an angel.
Misha Collins:I think, Castiel views the British Men of Letters with a little bit of skepticism. He's wary. He doesn't like outsiders coming in.
Mick Davies: Hello, lads.
Misha Collins: Maybe it's that he's, you know, protective, or jealous of his relationship with the Winchesters. He doesn't take to them right away. But, ultimately we see him change perspective and see them as a potentially valuable tool.
Jared Padalecki: We get to toy with that idea of, does the ends justify the means? And so I feel like, what the Winchesters are trying to do is try to kinda square a circle, and say, "Hey, maybe there's a way to save everybody." And to not accept the collateral damage as just something that happens.
Sam: We should get. The people we left, they'll call for backup any second.
Arthur Ketch: You left survivors?
Dean: They are soldiers, just doing what they were told.
Arthur Ketch: Still, a bit unprofessional.
Robert Singer (executive producer): I'm sure the British Men of Letters think that they have a moral imperative, which is, "Kill all monsters." Sam and Dean have come to realize that everything is not black and white, so they'll approach things in a more humanistic way, even though the British Men of Letters may think they're working from a moral high ground, our heroes, we can see that that's the real morality.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): The look that comes over Dean's face when Mr. Ketch is punching out this vampire, you know, Dean is capable of that level of violence and mercilessness towards a monster, and yet, we've seen over and over that the Winchesters want to do the right thing.
Mick Davies: You should have shot her between the eyes. Immediately.
Dean: Oh, why? 'Cause that's what you would've done?
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): I think we explore the nature of heroism, and how much damage you can justify in the name of doing good.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): A hero is a person that does what's right. Sometimes that means killing the room full of bad guys. Sometimes that means not. Sometimes that means finding the other way. Sometimes that means saving people. Sometimes that means offering people a second chance. I think that's really what we've focused on with Sam and Dean. They do what's right, even if that means making sacrifices along the way.
Sam: I saw what they were doing and I... And I thought, hunters, on that scale, working together, how much good we can do.
David Haydn-Jones: The British Men of Letters do make a case, in terms of organization and effectiveness.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): In some ways the British Men of Letters have laid out this very interesting path, of a more active, engaged, always-on, almost police force style of hunter, which did not exist before they showed up. ls some version of that going to live on? There are things that we learn from people like that, even if you don't like them.
Sam: Because of Mick and his guys, the Alpha vampire is dead. They get results. I don't like them either, but if we can save people...
Dean: Do I like it? No. Do I trust them? Hell, no. But you're right.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): Sam and Dean can't go take out the entire organization and they don't want to.
Dean: You show those sons of bitches who's boss.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): So, it's sort of a standoff.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): It's sort of detente at the end of the season.
Robert Berens (supervising producer): At the end of the day, Sam and Dean know that it's not just about eliminating monsters.
Sam: The British Men of Letters, they came here, because they thought they could do our job better than we could. And they've killed people. They've killed innocent people. Just because they got in the way. They think the ends justify the means, but we know better. We know hunting isn't just about killing, it's about doing what's right.
Misha Collins: The Winchesters‘ approach is definitely more humane and more forgiving.
Robert Singer: The way the British Men of Letters go about things could be improved. They could maybe show a little more humanity in the way they do things.
David Haydn-Jones: Where does the gray lie when you are truly trying to renounce evil, and, if you are trying to renounce evil, can you become evil yourself?
Cas: Could either of you kill an innocent?
Dean: We will find a better way.
Jared Padalecki: The Winchester brothers are fighting for something else other than just to kill the bad guys. They're fighting for the good of many.
Jensen Ackles: Whereas the British Men of Letters are just, you know, cut them off, clear up the mess and move on.
Arthur Ketch: We firmly believe the ends do justify the means.
Jensen Ackles: If there's some good to save, then I think the brothers feel it's their duty to find that and save that.
Dean: We kick ass. We save the world.
The Winchester Mythology: A Hunter's Life (2017, пост-12 сезон)
Из моего твиттера Из моего твиттера
10:58 PM • 31 авг. 2021 г.
Посмотрела документалку The Winchester Mythology: A Hunter's Life из допов к 12 сезону, и поняла, что была неправа.
Создатели сериала прямым текстом говорят, что американские Men of Letters существуют с покорения Америки. То есть, с британцами они все же были параллельно.
Они существовали с основания Америки и до 1950х, но были чисто собирателями знаний, элитой, не желающей пачкать руки. И потому Сэм и Дин отнеслись к ним с недоверием, считая, что они не особенно эффективны в борьбе с монстрами.
И то же самое, но в еще большей степени они думали про британцев, но в данном случае как раз ошибались, потому что британцы были именно агрессивно эффективны.
Ну и по мелочи: Сэм и Дин отличаются от других охотников тем, что они - команда, и в отличие от большинства охотников, у них много помощников, включая сотрудничество с Кроули и Ровеной. И нет узкой специализации на каком-то конкретном виде монстров.
Посмертный ритуал для охотников взят из древнегреческих ритуалов для павших воинов, но с поправкой на специфику.
Транскрипт
Сделано из субтитров. Курсивом отмечены вставки из сериала. Отдельные реплики из разных сцен отделены новой строкой с троеточием.
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiH6ZK0_O3e6fheQcfKEtuXfVaQCNozxR - видео на youtube присутствует только в таком виде - поделенное на мелкие кусочки по 20 сек и собранное в плейлист. Общая длительность - 15,5 мин.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): Hunters, as we've portrayed them, have been a little bit of lone wolves. Mary Winchester and the Campbells. Her father had been a hunter, her grandfather had been a hunter, she was a hunter.
Boy: You kill werewolves?
Mary: I hunted a lot of bad things.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): The Campbells probably were famous on a little bit of a smaller scale, but they were a little bit closed off. I don't think they were ever really open to the broader hunter community, in the way that Sam and Dean have become over the course of the story. You had Henry Winchester, who was a Man of Letters who I think planned to pass that knowledge on to John, but was never given that opportunity because he obviously vanished.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): It was a little more destiny than anything else. The marriage between John and Mary was sort of foretold, and it was fate that they would have these kids. There's sort of a myth that's attached to their birth.
Jensen Ackles: Every time one of these big, massive events happens in the world, it seems like the Winchesters are always plugged-in somehow.
Dean: Family hunting trip.
...
Man: Who are you?
Sam: We're the guys that save the world.
...
Sam: Looks empty.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): Well, I think they're very unique among the hunters. First of all, they are a team, and most of the hunters, that we keep seeing, are solo acts that are operating on their own. Most of the hunters confine themselves to a specific problem like taking out a vamp's nest or taking out a werewolf. Look back at what Sam and Dean have accomplished... They've literally saved the planet a couple of times. They take on much more daunting cases.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): A very high attrition rate in the hunter community. Um, but I think Sam and Dean are probably the most famous hunters there are.
Jared Padalecki: I feel like the Winchester brothers, they always have each other's back, they're fighting for something else, other than just to kill the bad guy.
Samantha Smith (Mary): They're setting an example of, "Yes, we're ridding the world of these horrible creatures... But we'll make exceptions."
Brad Buckner (executive producer): Their skillet and tool set is completely different from most of the other hunters. I mean, they have at their disposal Bobby Singer's legendary encyclopedic knowledge of all things in the lore. They have the Men of Letters bunker, where there's a huge repository of all this incredible information.
Crowley: Once again I'm saving both your asses.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): They have players on their team, people like the King of Hell.
Sam: Can we just get the damn news without the drama?
Crowley: Can I get you without the flannel? No.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): Rowena, this legendary witch...
Rowena: Told you you'd need me.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): Castiel, who has access to Heaven...
Dean: You know, wings. Harp...
Cas: No, I don't have a harp.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): They just operate in a whole different strata from all the other hunters that are out there. A lot of the hunters are kind of in awe and a little intimidated by the Winchesters.
Jensen Ackles: They are, at the end of the day, just ordinary guys. They just happen to be extraordinary in what they have to deal with on a day-to-day basis. And I think that's what defines them as who they are.
Dean: Let's go kill some Nazis.
...
Man: I can explain.
Dean: Heil this.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): A lot of these hunters bring different skills. Charlie was an incredible researcher, a techno geek, and even could out-hack Sam. Bobby had this encyclopedic knowledge of all the lore. Rufus was the one who got Bobby into hunting and became a resource person for him. All these various hunters have a piece of the pie, usually. Nobody out-hunts Sam and Dean. So, they become tools in the tool kit.
Sam: I mean, I'm already in the Saint Paul Police Department database.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): Sam, we always have played as someone who's into books more than Dean.
Sam: I made a computer algorithm that scrapes data from police scanners, emergency calls, local news sites, and it puts everything through a... The computer told me.
Robert Berens (supervising producer): They're friends with Garth, but they're also occasionally allies with even big, evil players like Rowena and Crowley.
Mark Sheppard (Crowley): His relationship with the Winchesters is something completely different. There is this special place in Crowley's heart, I think, for Dean at least. I think they are very similar in lot of ways. I think, ultimately, they both want what's right. They want to be safe and secure. And yet, they've been doing a job that they've been doing for so long, they probably don't know how to do it any other way.
Robert Berens (supervising producer): In terms of their alliances and partnerships, they live in the gray.
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): All they can rely on is each other. They've become part of this commando unit. Get this.
Sam: Looks like there was another murder. Just like the one we're checking up on.
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): It's just a smart way to search and destroy using anyone's skills.
Sam: All deaths, all kids.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): Hunters have been a part of humanity for a long, long time. We talk about, like, using, you know, Van Helsing, using Buffy the Vampire Slayer, using Mina Darker. These would historically be hunters in our world.
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): It's a digital anti-consciousness. They are the hunters, but they can empathize with being hunted because they themselves can't be protected by society. 'Cause they've chosen to turn their backs on society in terms of law and order.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): Monsters have always been there in our universe. There have always been people that fight against them, and those people, whether they were called hunters, knights, or wizards or something else, that's what they've done. And they've been the people that really kept humanity safe.
Phil Cousineau (author "Once and future myths"): Part of the mythology of the hunter, the hunter is the one who stands up and says, "| will go slay the monster." The hunter feeds the family, feeds the tribe. The hunter protects the family and protects the tribe. The hunter is the embodiment of courage, and is the one who has the weapons to defeat these creatures, sometimes which are recognizable and sometimes are not recognizable.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): From Season 1, Supernatural has always gone its own way with the myths of a lot of these villains and creatures and monsters. You had to decapitate a vampire, which wasn't the way it normally went in a lot of the movies.
Robert Singer (executive producer): The American hunters, it's all really about field work, trial and error, passing on the knowledge that you had to other hunters.
Girl: Well, at least, we're all prepared.
Dean: Yep.
Girl: Impressive.
Dean: Demon blade. Kills them dead.
Girl and Boy: Nice.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): The difference between Sam Winchester and a witch is real narrow right now. Sam has done spells. They do Enoch rune to blast angels away. It's about taking those things that exist, taking those weapons that exist that are used against you, and turning them back on the bad guys. Sam and Dean have done that in a big way with hex bags, with vigils, with things like that.
Robert Singer (executive producer): Salt will dissipate a ghost. Well, what if we put salt pellets in a shotgun? That will send the ghost away.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): So, all of this evolved over time, but involved a lot of research just into the mythology of a particular thing, and then translating that into weaponry that can stop these things.
Man: What kind of a Devil's Trap?
Sam: Standard pentagram.
Eric Kripke (series creator): Speaking as a fan boy, there's just something cool about the world. The reason I wrote it is 'cause it's all that I think is cool. There's this, like, cool little subculture of hunters. They are all scruffy and blue collar, and they've got cool guns and cool cars. They're all tough. And they are gunslingers. You know, like it was almost this modern American western. They get to cruise around, fighting monsters and saving chicks.
Dean: You two hunters?
Hunter: Randy Bull. Watch out for the horns, right?
Eric Kripke (series creator): There's something about that world that is a pool that people want to swim in.
Misha Collins: The American hunters that we see tend to be the kind of people who you would suspect of being totally paranoid and overrun by conspiracy theories.
Hunter: Are you Sam Winchester? You are, right?
Brad Buckner (executive producer): But I think Sam and Dean would be the first to tell you that certain hunters are nut jobs and not to be trusted and are dangerous and overly fanatical and not cautious enough.
Hunter: Drink, everybody!
Steve Yokey (executive story editor): Sometimes hunters tell the big fish stories. Everybody likes to tell a little bit of an oversized version of what they've accomplished. "l caught a fish this big." But with Sam and Dean, they're actually saving the world. Because of that bond that they have with each other and the trust that they have with each other, um, and their willingness to put their lives on the line, it's what makes them iconic to the other hunters.
Samantha Smith (Mary): Asa became obsessed with this one demon. As a hunter, you have to be careful not to become overconfident. But there's always room for mistake.
Dean: He died on the job. No better way to go.
Sam: You really believe that? Yeah, what, you don't?
Jody: They're gonna salt and burn the body tomorrow. I can't believe I just said that like it's something normal.
Robert Berens (supervising producer): The ritual of salting and burning the bodies is both a ritual of remembrance and honoring of the fallen dead but it's also a precaution against possession. Demonic possession, ghost possession. It's a way of sort of sealing the deal.
Phil Cousineau (author "Once and future myths"): The Ancient Greeks had a three-stage ceremony for a fallen warrior. You would wash the body of the fallen hero, and then the body would be set in a pyre and burned. With one exception.
Dean: "Wendigo"?
Hunter: Do it again!
Phil Cousineau (author "Once and future myths"): You celebrated a death by playing. This tells the gods that life goes on.
Mary: Dean said you got out of hunting.
Sam: Yeah.
Mary: And yet, here you are.
Sam: Well, this is my family. And my family hunts, you know. It's what we do.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): There are certain people like Charlie Bradbury and Jody and some of these people who, I think, they do consider family. Certainly, Bobby was like more of a father to them than their own father.
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): Yeah, he really became a family member, as our most enduring characters have become. I think you can say the same about Cass.
Cas: Knowing you, it's been the best part of my life. And the things we've shared together, they have changed me.
Misha Collins: I think Castiel definitely seems to function best as a member of the team. Like when he's working with Sam and Dean or even when he's working with his garrison of angels.
Cas: I love all of you.
Robert Berens (supervising producer): They are the only people who understand the mortal dangers that they face in their life as hunters every day. They have that kind of foxhole buddy connection.
Dean: And like you said, you're family. And we don't leave family behind.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): The American Men of Letters, for us, it's this organization that existed really from the founding of America up until about the 1950s.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): And the Americans were largely an intellectual unit that studied academically the idea of monsters and eradicating monsters and the history and the lore and all of that. But really weren't interested much in getting their hands dirty.
Steve Yokey (executive story editor): They were only sharing their research and knowledge with the elite echelon of American hunters. Most hunters were denied that and had to figure things out on their own. I'm sure that it ended up costing a lot of them their lives.
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): The Winchesters‘ grandfather was a Man of Letters. Sam and Dean, they are resistant to being in any way attached to the Men of Letters. They think of them as elitist and maybe not even that effective. They thought the American Men of Letters was irrelevant. I think they think even more so the British Men of Letters because they seem to be so above the struggle. You know, in fact, they're wrong because the British Men of Letters are pretty aggressive about their techniques.
Robert Berens (supervising producer): I think the Winchesters loom large to the other hunters as just a consequence of time in the game. The other hunters are aware of them. This season, we got a chance to actually play that, that Sam and Dean are legends. Did you know people tell stories about us?
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): Dean has a line in this season where he's like, "Look, you don't get where we are by studying books. "You get where we are by putting on a flannel, picking up a machete and going out there. if you're good, you live. And if you're not good, you die."
Steve Yokey (executive story editor): Ultimately, the show is about Sam and Dean hunting, at its core. And then, the show has grown to be Sam and Dean, and then, their other cohorts who have this bond. The show can be about the world ending, but it stays very intimate because it stays within the point of view of these brothers.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): Sometimes you have to go out there, take the wins, take the losses, learn and grow, and that's what the hunters on our show do.
Dean: Saving people and hunting things, this is our life. I think we make the world a better place. I know that we do.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkWvU9HmsSA - Длительность - 10 мин.
Young Mary: You know, the worst thing I can think of is for my children to be raised into this like I was. Mary.
Dean: Can I tell you something?
Young Mary: Sure.
Dean: On November 2nd, 1983. No matter what you hear, or what you see, promise me you won't get out of bed.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): Mary came from a family of hunters, she was a hunter herself before she married John. And she had become, sort of a myth to the boys because she died trying to save Sam.
Samantha Smith (Mary): There was no way I could have foreseen the impact that her character would have on the show, and how much they held her close.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): Mary is the core of, really, our series, and she the core of our mythology. it all starts with her.
Young Mary: YOU killed him.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): When Mary was young, Azazel the Yellow-Eyed Demon, kind of our first big bad, came to her and made her a deal. John Winchester had been killed, he would bring her back. All Mary had to do was let Azazel into a room 10 years in the future. And Mary agreed.
Robert Singer (executive producer): He probably knew that was coming, but not where or when.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): And that room he walked into was her son room. And he the one that dripped demon blood in Sam mouth, and kind of started him on the path to becoming a vessel for Lucifer.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): And that the last time Dean saw her. He witnessed that. Sam never knew her at all.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): How she was manipulated, the choices she made, really shaped, you know, 11, 12 seasons of myth. Her impact on their lives has been more than probably anyone else on our show.
Dean: Mom?
Mary: Where am I? Who the hell are you?
Jared Padalecki: Momma back.
Jensen Ackles: It poses some interesting twists, just in relationships, because Sam and Dean have really never known their mother from an adult standpoint. Dean has very vague memories of her as a child, and Sam has virtually none.
Samantha Smith (Mary): I've come back many times, but always as a ghost, or a vision, or a hallucination.
Robert Singer (executive producer): Amara brought her back to be with Dean, that was a gift that Amara thought she was giving Dean. When Mary comes back after being in Heaven for some 30-odd years, she not sure that it was a gift at all. She happy to see her boys again, but these aren't the boys that she remembers, or the boys that she lived with in Heaven for 30-plus years.
Mary: Do you still like pie?
Dean: I mean...
Jensen Ackles: There a familiarity there that is, I guess, blood, but at the same time, a stranger in our house, so to speak. And she feels as strange to this land as we kind of feel having her around.
Mary: Is that a... A computer?
Dean: Welcome to the future.
Samantha Smith (Mary): And re-establishing the relationship with them, as a mother to adults, is a whole different situation.
Dean: I can't believe I let you talk me into this.
Mary: I'm your mother. You have to do what I say.
Robert Berens (supervising producer): They're so grateful for her return, they're a little bit blind to what going on with her.
Dean: You're Okay?
Mary: No.
Robert Berens (supervising producer): And that there actually a lot of internal conflict she struggling with, that Dean in particular is sort of afraid to process. I think he in a bit of denial about what going on with her.
Samantha Smith (Mary): As a hunter and as a strong woman, she not going to let it show, how much everything is overwhelming her. She sad, her husband is gone, and everything has changed for her, but she gonna just sort of take it in and deal with it internally.
Jared Padalecki: Sam has never had a good relationship with his parents because he didn't know his mom and his dad, he never got along with. And so, I think Sam is almost more meeting her as a fellow adult, you know? Because he didn't have any memories, he didn't remember Mom, he didn't remember the taste of her sandwiches, and the smell of the candles she liked to burn, or whatnot. Whereas Dean did, and he held on to a lot of that.
Jensen Ackles: He having, I think, a difficult time processing the fact that all of a sudden his mother is back, and alive. And watching and trying to adjust to her, and watching her try to adjust to them, it makes for some very uncomfortable moments.
Dean: Why don't I take this one solo, okay? We just don't know what we're walkin‘ into here.
Mary: We never know. We're hunters. I can handle myself. Okay? All right. Good talk.
...
Dean: You tell me where my brother is, and I might take it easy on you.
Ms Watts: No, please don't.
Robert Singer (executive producer): Mary admires the fact of how good they are at what they do, but she terribly fearful that she now going to have to be witness to something really bad happening to them. It a bittersweet pill for her.
Samanta Smith (Mary): I think that Mary has taken on responsibility for all of it. John wasn't a hunter until she died. And the boys would never have been hunters, had she not been a hunter.
Mary: I spent my life running from this, from hunting. And I got out. I never wanted this for you and Sam.
Samanta Smith (Mary): It not totally her fault, but the responsibility and the guilt is strong.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): So to even be around her sons, she has to be around hunting. This thing she been running from, this thing that she associates with death. Because she saw so many people die. It one thing to put herself through, it another thing to watch her sons go through. I think that very difficult for her.
Samanta Smith (Mary): No mother wants that for her kids.
Mary: Get away from my boys.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): She not only has maternal instincts, but she also has hunter instincts. And these are things that she thought she had left behind years ago, and she a little surprised to find out how deep that imprint goes. And the boys are stunned.
Dean: Holy crap.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): To see their mother actually kicking ass is sort of a revelation.
Mary: I found a case.
Samanta Smith (Mary): In the disorientation of coming back three decades later, you go back to what your root was.
Mary: It probably nothing, I just thought I might get out there, stretch my legs.
Samanta Smith (Mary): And I think that being raised as a hunter, having been a hunter in a good portion of her adult life, that where she thinks she'll find her footing.
Mary: Agent Shirley Partridge out of the Minneapolis field office. These are my partners, Agent Cassidy and Agent Bonaduce.
Robert Berens (supervising producer): In these first few episodes, what interesting is that being a hunter is also an escape from her internal struggle.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): And I think at first that comforting, but even that has a really strong downside, and she realizes that. She got possessed by a ghost, she almost killed her sons.
Possessed Mary: Mommy's gone.
Robert Singer (executive producer): Mary overcomes the ghost that possessing her, and basically frees up Sam for a moment to go and overcome the situation. She has a lot of guilt about that. You know, when it comes out. Even though Mary broke through tor the moment, the fact that that could happen is very upsetting for her. And really sort of makes her wonder whether her being around is the right idea.
Mary: I have to go.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): It not because she doesn't love them, it because she can't be in this place where, one, they're in danger, and two, she doesn't understand how she fits in this world.
Sam: It seems like our worst nightmare has come true, we're losing her again.
Mary: I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry.
Samanta Smith (Mary): I'm sure the boys see it as an abandonment. As a parent, Mary doesn't feel like there any choice. I think that it very clear why hunters hunt alone. You endanger the person that you're with, because they can be used as leverage. And I think that that is something that both Sam and Dean both see very clearly. As happy as they are to have their mom back, she a liability as well.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): She just desperately needs the time to go collect herself and come to grips with her new reality, and I think she starting to accept it.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): I think her story is just beginning. I think, you know, she walks away from Episode 3, she got John journal. She wants to go out there and kind of find her place in the world a little bit. And just kind of understanding where Sam and Dean came from, I think, is really important to her.
Samanta Smith (Mary): What been so exciting about Mary, and playing a role that I don't often get to play, is someone who just so hardcore and fearless. And so, to see Mary as the badass that we were hinted at, when we saw her in flashbacks... And now you don't just see it in little bits and pieces, you're gonna see Mary... just taking no prisoners. It'll be a lot of bloody noses.
Robert Singer (executive producer): I think the fans will enjoy this sort of iconic character that they knew, but didn't know very well, to get to know her a lot better.
Supernatural: Family Don't End with Blood (2021, пост-финал всего сериала)
Транскрипт
Сделано из субтитров. Курсивом отмечены вставки из сериала и архивные документальные записи в т.ч. со съемок.
Jared Padalecki: So in Supernatural, our character Bobby Singer, played by the wonderful Jim Beaver, has a quote "Family don't end in blood."
Jensen Ackles: It's one of the many mottos of Supernatural, and it is the family that you choose, and it is the people that you care about and that you fight next to and that you fight to save. And that inspire you. And that push you.
Robert Singer (executive producer): You know, I think definitely family was gonna be a theme right from the beginning. I mean, the pilot story was, uh... And whatever the mythology of Season 1 was, you know, the search for Dad.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): You'll watch the first few moments of the pilot, and it very clearly plants this flag about what it is. It is a family show.
Dean: Dad's missing. I need you to help me find him. I can't do this alone.
Sam: Yes, you can.
Dean: Yeah. Well, I don't want to.
Misha Collins: Like, who's your clan? Who are the people you care about the most? And obviously, two orphaned brothers couldn't care about anything in the world more than one another. But they envelop this community of people who also care about them and one another.
Alexander Calvert: Sam, and Dean, and Cass, and Jack and these host of characters are kind of with loss and forced to reassess what family is, and what I love about the show is they kind of build their own version of that.
Sam: How do you it? How does Dad do it?
Dean: Well, for one, them. I mean, I figure our family is so screwed to hell, maybe we can help some others. Makes things a little more bearable.
Jared Padalecki: There are so many characters along the way that Sam and Dean treat it as they would treat each other.
Dean: You know, saving people, hunting things. The family business.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): I think that was a core part of this because Sam and Dean are two guys, because they define everything by family, they're always looking for a family.
Jared Padalecki: Not everybody out there has a wonderful family life as far as their blood relatives.
Sam: You were just pissed off you couldn't control me anymore!
Dean: Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! That's enough.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): Sam and Dean come from a very dysfunctional family. Their father suffered this great, you know, world-shattering tragedy. Where he spent the entire rest of his life trying to get revenge, and unfortunately, Sam and Dean came second to that.
Sam: We got work to do.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): So when they got to be an adult, and I think people that come from dysfunctional families find this, is it becomes less about the family you were born into, and it becomes about your family by choice.
Jensen Ackles: When you find someone that's willing to fight alongside you for what you collectively believe is the right thing, then it instantly makes you brothers and sisters-in-arms. That's exactly what these two brothers found. They found other brothers and sisters-in-arms.
(Показанные фото, иллюстрирующие слова Дженсена. Даны ровно так, как в видео - в том же порядке)
Bobby: A storm's coming. And you boys, your daddy, you are smack in the middle of it.
Robert Singer (executive producer): Bobby really served as, you know, a father figure. One thing we always tried to do is if we had a guest character that really kind of hit the mark... we say, "Oh, we gotta keep going with this person." Bobby, that character's only one of them.
Jim Beaver: If you're walking the walk, and not just talking the talk, I think Bobby respects that immensely, and he sees that in Sam and Dean.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): Crowley, Charlie, Jack, Rowena, all these people had a commonality. They were all alone in their own little universes to an extent.
Robert Singer (executive producer): When Misha showed up... and created the Castiel character... we knew we had something special.
Misha Collins: It's been such an interesting arc with the character of Castiel on Supernatural.
Jensen Ackles: You know, sure, the story at the core was about these brothers, but it was also about this ragtag gang of fighters.
Samanta Smith (Mary Winchester): Most hunters are solitary. It's lonely, and when they can connect with other people who understand their pain, and their life, and their dedication, and their purpose, there's going to be a bond there.
Jensen Ackles: Go team. I'm thankful for not only the characters and how they were written, and how they affected the Winchesters. But also for the actors and actresses that have portrayed them because they too have become family with Jared and I. And they're part of this crazy circus that is Supernatural.
Bobby: Official FBI business, ma'am. Nothing to worry about.
Someone: Your badge is upside down. Reset, still rolling.
Someone: Let me get it set here.
...
Jared Padalecki: I'm Jared Padalecki.
Jensen Ackles: I'm Jensen Ackles.
Jared Padalecki: And we're gonna show you our day on set, you know, how much we love doing what we do and what exactly we do do.
Jensen Ackles: You said "do do."
Jared Padalecki: I did say "do do." That's awesome.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): Jared and Jensen are excellent actors, but their biggest achievement on this show is the example they were able to set for everybody. And it's kind of a famous story, but Eric Kripke sat them down, in the first season, and we're like, "This is your show. You guys set the tone of this show."
Eric Kripke (Series Creator): They're bringing so much more to it than I ever could have written. They're grounding it, they're making it real. It's clear you watch them, they're smart guys, going through this story and I'm thrilled.
Jensen Ackles: High-five.
Someone: High-five. Nice. Nice!
Jensen Ackles: No, that's all it is.
Someone: Cool.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): Both Jared and Jensen are capable of carrying a show on their own. As they now will go off and do, I'm sure. The fact we can get them together for this period of time, again, I don't know if it's something you're gonna repeat on a TV show for a while.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): They really are quite incredible. Jensen learned to tap dance for an episode. I keep hearing the phrase, "Once in a lifetime and probably so."
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): To get two guys of this caliber who are leading men to come in and do that job, and do it so well and so thoughtfully, again, I said it earlier, but I don't think I'm gonna find that again in my career.
Jensen Ackles: God.
Jensen Ackles: That's the crazy thing about being on a show this long and not just being on a show this long, but being with... a large majority of our crew has been with us either from the beginning, 15 years, or they've been with us for 12 years, or 10 years, or eight years.
Robert Singer (executive producer): Our set was always loose. The crew felt part of the family. They were in on the joke, the guys were always great to the crew, had great respect for the crew.
Jensen Ackles: Hey, Gabe, shut up.
Mark Sheppard: Truly great people, all at the peak of their abilities. Some great, great wonderful writers, some extraordinary producers over the years. Showrunners from Kripke at the beginning, to Sarah, to Jeremy, to Andrew. It's been an amazing journey.
Misha Collins: I've just been both grateful and inspired to be around a crew like this. We'd laugh so much. And I know that Jared and Jensen and the producers would all agree, we wouldn't be here if the crew of Supernatural wasn't the crew that it is.
Alexander Calvert as Jack: It's getting worse, not better. That's the problem.
Misha Collins as Cas: Hey. It never gets better.
...
Jared Padalecki: Boop.
Alexander Calvert: I came in to the show relatively late compared to everybody else. The relationships that I've seen at work and away from work are incredible. People have started families, people have had kids on the show. I think these people are gonna be in each other's lives forever because of this bond that they've formed.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): This is a show where assistants have gone on to write scripts. This is a show where crew people have gone on to direct. It's a show that has tried to be supportive to people who show that passion and that work ethic to get up there and do it. I certainly have felt supported. I went from staff writer to running the show, and, you know, so obviously, I felt very supported in kind of my goals.
Ruby: So call me.
Sam: Yeah, sure thing, Cathy.
Ruby: Krissy.
Sam: Right.
Jared Padalecki: You know, I've met my wife, mother of my kids, I met one of my groomsmen, I met a ton of dear friends. And I have a new extended family, our SPN family.
Jared Padalecki: Cool. You're having a good time?
Jared Padalecki: I'm honored and flattered and grateful that I got to be a part of that journey.
Alexander Calvert: I think the overwhelming thing that I'd like to express for me, and I think for a lot of people on the show that maybe don't get a say... which I want to represent... is the crew... and the people who build the show and paint the show... you know, costume the show and are here every day working on it. I think for a lot of us it's just gratitude and thankfulness that we get to do what we do.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): The writing side here in Burbank has always felt like a family atmosphere. I feel it's a great gift that we work with so many people that are talented and professional.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): A lot of laughter in that room. I remember a tabletop strewn with toys and Play Doh and Slinkies and Etch A Sketches and blocks that got played with endlessly. I know there's a whole wall covered with index cards with various either funny, pointless or stupid things that the writers have said over the course of many meetings that's tacked up on a wall.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): And I remember just a lot of give-and-take and a lot of feelings of safety in that room. It was maybe the largest production office I've worked in. The tiki bar in the middle of the office always laid out with cakes or whatever for birthdays.
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): We were a community, a brotherhood, a sisterhood. That kind of was the way everything was run.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): One of the writers, I remember, once had major surgery and had to come to work in sweats or in loose-fitting stuff, so a lot of the writers showed up in p.j.'s as a sort of a show of solidarity. So there's just lots of ways that people supported each other.
Robert Singer (executive producer): And action.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): And I just feel incredibly lucky to have worked with, number one, with Bob Singer because I worked with him for 15 years now. It has been the most rewarding partnership, mentorship, whatever you wanna call it, of my professional life in terms of my being able to learn from him.
Jared Padalecki: His involvement in the series was so necessary from day one. He can walk on set, look at me, not really say anything, just give me a face and I'm like: "Got it." And that's built over time.
Robert Singer (executive producer): I come in with a plan, but it's not chipped in stone, and lots of times, you know, the guys would have ideas. Sometimes I would accept them readily, sometimes we had to talk about them, but there was always this mutual respect.
Jensen Ackles: He has been just this Yoda character for our show. I call him "my confident captain." He's just been the real compass of this show for so long.
Jared Padalecki: Cut!
Robert Singer (executive producer): Ha-ha. Make fun of Bob. Okay, here we go.
Someone: Make fun with Bob.
Jensen Ackles: We have come together in times of crisis. We've lost several of our crew members. We lost Jaap. We lost Matt Riley. We lost Kim Manners in Season 4.
Robert Singer (executive producer): Kim was a great guy and a great director. Let's go right away. Everybody responded to his talent but also to who he was.
Jared Padalecki: He used to say: "You know, we're not curing cancer, and I spend more time with you than I do my wife, my kids, my dogs, so if we're not having a good time, then what are we doing?"
Jared Padalecki: And so we tried to make sure that we kept it light and that we all realized, like: "Hey, we're putting on makeup and playing pretend for a living."
Mark Sheppard: I came here to do a couple of episodes for a show that Kim Manners told me I really needed to do someday because I'd enjoy it and I'd love the boys. And he was right. He was absolutely right.
Robert Singer (executive producer): The hardest part of Season 4 was losing Kim, and I think the... the best thing we could say about losing Kim was that we never replaced him. I didn't feel like anyone should have that job other than Kim. So, yeah, that was hard.
Someone: Always keep fighting.
Jared Padalecki: No way.
Someone: That's awesome, guys.
Jensen Ackles: I'm not quite sure when the phrase was coined, but the SPN family as the fandom is lovingly known as. What we are on set as a crew is now reflected in what we see as a fandom.
Jensen Ackles: Just like Dean.
Misha Collins: The SPN family, Supernatural family... I've seen so many instances of people gathering together to go support a Supernatural fan.
Misha Collins: Hi.
Misha Collins: It's so lovely and inspiring, and I honestly, you know, hope that that could serve as a template for how greater society works.
Cas: I love you.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): What these guys were feeling for each other, or for other characters, or when they were afraid, or when they love somebody, it just radiated off the screen, and the fans really picked up on that.
Jared Padalecki: I know several of the fans personally and I care about them deeply. And it's neat to talk about a shared passion. "Man, I love Supernatural too." Like, "I love the storyline too. I liked that episode too. Let's talk about it."
Jensen Ackles: We have this unique situation with our show where we're able to do these fan conventions and we do them quite often. And it gives us an opportunity to get in front of a lot of these people and have honest real conversations with them face-to-face. And that's-- In my opinion, that's helped shape the show.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): And this is not just limited to the United States, it's a worldwide thing. There are these conventions held, you know, everywhere in the world.
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): The fans are so polite. They're very respectful of each other's appreciation of the same show they appreciate. It's like, "We're all in this together."
Alexander Calvert: I can tell you that the people that I've met that have been affected by the show, and the fans of the show will tell you 100 times over that this is not the end, that this goes on forever.
Robert Singer (executive producer): They've bonded over this show...
Female viewer 1: Dean.
Robert Singer (executive producer): ...and have created their own Supernatural family.
Dean: Bye, Sam.
Robert Singer (executive producer): ...and have tremendous respect for what we do, but respect for each other.
Female viewer 2: Oh, it's okay.
Robert Singer (executive producer): Just the motivation of why we wanted to always keep this show going and keep it fresh was not to disappoint the fans.
Male Viewer: Sorry. I'm so happy. This is such a beautiful ending.
Robert Singer (executive producer): We didn't want to disappoint them because we didn't wanna disappoint family members.
Female viewer 3: I don't think the cast or crew will watch this, but if you do, thank you for everything.
Female viewer 4: Thank you. Carry on, my wayward people.
Male Viewer: Thank you, Supernatural.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): There's nothing I won't miss. This has been, creatively speaking, an incredible gift.
Jensen Ackles as Dean: I'm all nogged up right now.
Jared Padalecki as Sam: Nog in. Nog it in here.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): Just being able to go to work and have that kind of freedom and not dread going into a place.
Jensen Ackles: We love the show. We love the story.
Dean: I just know we're all we've got.
Jensen Ackles: We love these characters. We love the people we make this show with.
Jensen Ackles: I hope and I believe that that translates on camera.
Dean: No chick flick moments. Come on.
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): You know, there's always reruns. They'll always be able to see Sam and Dean.
Alexander Calvert: I think everybody loves that Sam and Dean can go through hell together, literally, and give each other a big hug at the end of it. And know that they're gonna be all right because they have each other. And I think that's a really beautiful concept to show.
Dean: Bottom line is you're family. I don't know if you've noticed, but me and Sam, we don't have much left. I can't do this without you.
Robert Singer (executive producer): That bond is really, I think... you know, the heart and soul of the show and what gave us the longevity that we had.
Dean: You're our brother, Cass. I want you to know that.
Misha Collins: I also genuinely hope...
Cas: Thank you.
Misha Collins:...that the Supernatural family is something that carries on past the end of the shooting of the show. I hope we can continue collectively to do good in the world and to set a good example, and to be a family to one another.
Jared Padalecki: Sam and Dean, much like Jared and Jensen, over the course of Supernatural, were allowed to add many members to their family, and they would do anything for their family members and vice versa. This world and this journey isn't just about fighting for yourself, or fighting for somebody that it'll benefit you. It's not about the glory, it's about doing what's right and taking care of good people. And I think Supernatural, from day one, has been able to accomplish that.
Dean: Because when it all came down to it, it was always you and me. And you're fighting because you, you always keep fighting. You hear me?

Только сейчас добралась до просмотра 15-минутной документалки из допов к 12 сезону. С интересом посмотрела. Не то, чтобы там было что-то кардинально новое, но так... несколько неочевидных вещей. И забавно было видеть Дэвида в облике Кетча, но вне образа.
Из того, что показалось интересным:
1) The British Men of Letters - гораздо "старше" американских. Да, говорили, что им не один век, но я автоматически заключила, что и американским столько же. Нет.
2) Он продвинутее не только в оружие и прочих девайсах, но и в технике колдовства.
3) Кетчу нравится убивать в принципе, и вероятно, он бы пошел по этой дорожке даже, если бы не стал членом Men of Letters.
4) Хэсс - одна из 2-3 старейшин, которые управляют всей организацией.
5) Тони Бевел - социопат, Кетч - психопат. Тони - problem solver, решательница. Кетч - эксперт в своем деле.
6) Мик - особенный случай, и в какой-то момент он в шоке обнаруживает, что жив где-то внутри, хотя его столько времени programmed думать иначе.
7) Кас при первом столкновении с британцами им не симпатизирует - из желания защитить Винчестеров или даже из ревности, но позже его отношение меняется, и он начинает относиться к ним, как полезным инструментам.

Пока не забыла пришедшую мысль. По следам той документалки про британцев.
Этого впрямую не говорится, но я думаю, что британцы, наверное, были родоначальниками Men of Letters. Вряд ли это "движение" могло зародиться там и там параллельно.
Скорее, в какой-то момент в US из UK прибыли либо "миссионеры", либо "первые поселенцы" - организаторы борьбы с монстрами на интеллектуальной основе.
В фильме же просто перечисляется, что они очень организованные и следуют выработанным правилам.
Но правила и система отшлифованы до такого блеска, что работают как идеальная, хорошо смазанная машина, и отчасти поэтому у британцев работают исполнители, которым не надо задумываться над приказами (хотя последнее уже больше мой вывод).
Но они правда были как переброшенная на новое место часть единого организма. Я помню, что еще при первом просмотре удивилась, что Кетч живет не в отеле.
Мне казалось, что если приехали "коллеги", то они просто селятся по отелям и все. А у них оказалась военнизированная база.

Mick Davies: Let me paint you a picture of a world without monsters, or demons, or any of those little buggers that go bump in the night.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): The British Men of Letters is a well-oiled machine. There are ranks and there are rules and there's a Code...
Dr. Hess: The Code is what separates us from the monsters. it is the order by which we all live.
...
Dean: Oh. "The Code."
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): And if you're a Men of Letters, you coordinate things. If you're their version of hunters you go out and you kill and you don't ask questions.
Dr. Hess: Hunters are dogs. You give them an order and they obey.
...
Arthur Ketch: We're good dogs, we only come when called.
Robert Singer (executive producer): The American Men of Letters are basically intellectuals. They didn't go out into the field. You know, they gathered information, they kept extensive libraries, they would have meetings and discuss, you know, how to do things, what's the cure for this? How do we kill that? British Men of Letters, there's a lot of fieldwork with them, where they would dispatch hunters to take care of a problem.
Lady Toni Bevell: The moment a monster steps foot in Britain, we know about it. Within 20 minutes, he's been picked up. And within 40, he's dead.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): The British Men of Letters is a larger organization than the Americans were. They go back hundreds and hundreds of years. They're much more organized and institutionalized than the Americans were. The Brits are ruled by a panel of elders. Dr. Hess is one of those elite. And Dr. Hess also runs the Kendricks School.
Mick Davies: The Kendricks School, it's like our...
Sam: Hogwarts?
Mick Davies: Exactly.
David Haydn-Jones (Arthur Ketch): British Men of Letters see the American hunters as sloppy, undisciplined, vulgar.
Dean (с набитым ртом): You want anything?
Jensen Ackles: The British Men of Letters, I think, look at American hunters and just assume that everybody's kind of, you know, bush league, so to speak.
David Haydn-Jones: They just see a better way, and they really believe that all monsters are evil and need to be eradicated. Well, then, that's it, isn't it?
Dr. Hess: There are no restrictions. Family members, bystanders. Don't leave witnesses.
Jared Padalecki: The British Men of Letters were very methodical about it. If killing these 10 things saves 15 other things, then we kill these 10 things, even if two are innocent.
Steve Yokey (executive story editor): The British Men of Letters have this attitude of, "We're here to fix things". "We're gonna come down from our ivory tower" and clean up the messes that you've made."
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): The British Men of Letters are pretty aggressive about their techniques. They just don't do it themselves, they have experts.
Ms. Watt: You need to make the call. Bring in Mr. Ketch.
...
Dean: All right, so what have you found on Her Majesty's secret suck bags?
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): Well, when we meet Dr. Hess, she's of course really heartless, and really embodies, I think, the ethos of the British Men of Letters. Tradition, authority, a Code...
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): She's the person who, along with two or three other people, really give the orders that drive the entire organization.
Dr. Hess: Either Sam and Dean, and the rest of their ill-bred lot learn to obey, or you turn them over to Mr. Ketch.
Robert Berens (supervising producer): Ketch is such a dangerous killer and such an asset to the British Men of Letters, because he enjoys killing for its own sake. He'd probably be a murderer even if he wasn't employed by the British Men of Letters.
Dr. Hess: You kill without mercy. You'll be fine.
David Haydn-Jones: I call him the Butler Assassin and also he's sort of Monster Bond.
Lady Toni Bevell: Toni Bevell, Men of Letters, London Chapterhouse.
Steve Yokey (executive story editor): I think Toni is a problem solver, and that Ketch is the tool that she uses to solve those problems. I would say that Toni is a sociopath, and that Ketch is a psychopath. That's where they fit.
Mick Davies: No argument, Lady Bevell went too far. I deeply apologize.
Steve Yokey (executive story editor): I think Mick is special.
Dr. Hess: You have both conquered many trials here at Kendricks, either through natural talent, or good, old-fashioned hard work.
Adam Fergus (Mick Davies): He's inherently good. He knows a lot of the stuff that they do is wrong.
Robert Berens (supervising producer): He was inculcated in the Code, in the British Men of Letters way of life, at such a young age, really, before he could make an informed moral choice. And now he's lived for years working for the British Men of Letters in a situation that is not as morally gray as the situation he finds himself, now that they're in the US.
Robert Singer (executive producer): They have to stick to the Code. There's no room for gray areas. It's all black and white. And then they are sort of just thoughtless automatons, who just do what they're told.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): British Men of Letters would say, "We follow these rules because they are the most efficient way to keep the most number of people safe."
Dean: Here's a little tip. Things aren't just black and white out here. Well, now Hayden's mom, she gets to bury two kids, instead of one. Thanks to you and thanks to your Code.
Jensen Ackles: I think Dean's always been a bit of a black and white kind of person, where it's just, you know, if it's a monster you kill it, that's end of story. And... And, Sam was really the one who questioned that. And was like, "No. Listen, there might be a way to save the person or the vessel."
Mick Davies: At first, I was shocked at how Sam and Dean operate. But what Lady Bevell doesn't mention is the lives they've saved, monsters destroyed, and outcomes made better not because of the Code, but because of Sam and Dean Winchester's sense of what's right.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): Mick Davies, he's brought into the organization as a disadvantaged kid. He understands the Code. He rejects the Code.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): He's shocked to find that he even has that still alive in his brain, because he has been so programmed to think otherwise.
Mick Davies: I owed you everything. And I obeyed. But I'm a man now, Dr. Hess. And I can see the choices. And I choose to do the right thing!
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): One person, once he tried to be an individual, and tried to, you know, argue for Sam and Dean, he gets killed. Because he stepped out of line. You break a rule, there are major consequences. Mick felt those very brutally.
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): Well, aside from torturing and humiliating the boys, their ultimate game plan is to annihilate them. They're willing to try to assimilate them, and "assimilate" really means to the British Men of Letters, subjugate. And you can't do that to Sam and Dean, who are just too willful, and too used to living under their own rules.
Dean: We're not trapped out here with you, you're trapped out here with us.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): Our hunters have always been loners, independents, wildcards. They're not going to lick the boots of the Brits, which doesn't set well with the Brits.
Dr. Hess: Assimilate or eliminate.
...
Mick Davies: Let me paint you a picture of a world where no one has to die because of the supernatural, of a new world, a better world.
Mary: I'm listening.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): Mary has come back into this world, that is in some ways incredibly different from what she left when she died 30 years ago. Her kids are grown up, there are iPhones now, in some ways it's very much a new world. In the most fundamentally important way, it's exactly the same, which is that there are still monsters out there, innocent people are still dying. What's appealing to her about the British Men of Letters is they are promising to end that. They are promising to change the world. There are no more monsters. She can let her boys go off and lead normal lives. That's why she's there.
Samantha Smith (Mary): Mary, working with the British Men of Letters, was a decision that she knew would not be popular with her kids. But, as a mother does, if she thinks it's the best thing for her family and her children, that's what she's gonna do.
Mary: Working with them, I was trying to make things right.
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): They have wonderful techno gadgets, and they've even managed more than the American Men of Letters, to combine technical expertise with sorcery.
Robert Berens (supervising producer): Back in the UK, you know, the monster threat is more or less in control. They basically wiped them out.
Arthur Ketch: The British Men of Letters are centuries old, lads. We can offer expertise, weaponry, skills.
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): All the technologies, being able to turn Rugaru brains into soup, I mean, that's a great thing.
Robert Berens (supervising producer): Well, they have incredible equipment, they have incredible resources, it makes them incredibly efficient killers of monsters.
Arthur Ketch: We don't always decapitate vampires. We irradiate them.
Sam: Cool.
Arthur Ketch: Mmm. The toys are the fun part.
Robert Singer: Sam initially and Dean grudgingly, see these tools that the British Men of Letters have, and so it's a real, kind of, push-pull for them.
Dean: Was that a grenade launcher?
Arthur Ketch: Quite.
Robert Singer (executive producer): They don't wanna jump in with both feet, but, you know, they got to admire the weaponry.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): Sam, I think, has given up on the idea of having a normal life, but you can't argue with the result. British Men of Letters killed more vampires in three months than Sam and Dean have killed in their entire lives.
Serena: There were 241 vampires active across 12 states. We've killed all but 11.
Sam: How?
Brad Buckner (executive producer): Sam, being the cooler head, started really looking at the picture as Mary had done and said, "You know, there could be a time where there are no monsters."
Sam: I'm in. You're changing the world. And I want to be a part of it.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): He was willing to entertain the possibility, and he eventually seduced Dean into taking part of it as well.
Arthur Ketch: You, halo, do you sense I'm lying?
Cas: But the truth can be situational.
Arthur Ketch: Oh, I do enjoy an angel.
Misha Collins:I think, Castiel views the British Men of Letters with a little bit of skepticism. He's wary. He doesn't like outsiders coming in.
Mick Davies: Hello, lads.
Misha Collins: Maybe it's that he's, you know, protective, or jealous of his relationship with the Winchesters. He doesn't take to them right away. But, ultimately we see him change perspective and see them as a potentially valuable tool.
Jared Padalecki: We get to toy with that idea of, does the ends justify the means? And so I feel like, what the Winchesters are trying to do is try to kinda square a circle, and say, "Hey, maybe there's a way to save everybody." And to not accept the collateral damage as just something that happens.
Sam: We should get. The people we left, they'll call for backup any second.
Arthur Ketch: You left survivors?
Dean: They are soldiers, just doing what they were told.
Arthur Ketch: Still, a bit unprofessional.
Robert Singer (executive producer): I'm sure the British Men of Letters think that they have a moral imperative, which is, "Kill all monsters." Sam and Dean have come to realize that everything is not black and white, so they'll approach things in a more humanistic way, even though the British Men of Letters may think they're working from a moral high ground, our heroes, we can see that that's the real morality.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): The look that comes over Dean's face when Mr. Ketch is punching out this vampire, you know, Dean is capable of that level of violence and mercilessness towards a monster, and yet, we've seen over and over that the Winchesters want to do the right thing.
Mick Davies: You should have shot her between the eyes. Immediately.
Dean: Oh, why? 'Cause that's what you would've done?
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): I think we explore the nature of heroism, and how much damage you can justify in the name of doing good.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): A hero is a person that does what's right. Sometimes that means killing the room full of bad guys. Sometimes that means not. Sometimes that means finding the other way. Sometimes that means saving people. Sometimes that means offering people a second chance. I think that's really what we've focused on with Sam and Dean. They do what's right, even if that means making sacrifices along the way.
Sam: I saw what they were doing and I... And I thought, hunters, on that scale, working together, how much good we can do.
David Haydn-Jones: The British Men of Letters do make a case, in terms of organization and effectiveness.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): In some ways the British Men of Letters have laid out this very interesting path, of a more active, engaged, always-on, almost police force style of hunter, which did not exist before they showed up. ls some version of that going to live on? There are things that we learn from people like that, even if you don't like them.
Sam: Because of Mick and his guys, the Alpha vampire is dead. They get results. I don't like them either, but if we can save people...
Dean: Do I like it? No. Do I trust them? Hell, no. But you're right.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): Sam and Dean can't go take out the entire organization and they don't want to.
Dean: You show those sons of bitches who's boss.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): So, it's sort of a standoff.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): It's sort of detente at the end of the season.
Robert Berens (supervising producer): At the end of the day, Sam and Dean know that it's not just about eliminating monsters.
Sam: The British Men of Letters, they came here, because they thought they could do our job better than we could. And they've killed people. They've killed innocent people. Just because they got in the way. They think the ends justify the means, but we know better. We know hunting isn't just about killing, it's about doing what's right.
Misha Collins: The Winchesters‘ approach is definitely more humane and more forgiving.
Robert Singer: The way the British Men of Letters go about things could be improved. They could maybe show a little more humanity in the way they do things.
David Haydn-Jones: Where does the gray lie when you are truly trying to renounce evil, and, if you are trying to renounce evil, can you become evil yourself?
Cas: Could either of you kill an innocent?
Dean: We will find a better way.
Jared Padalecki: The Winchester brothers are fighting for something else other than just to kill the bad guys. They're fighting for the good of many.
Jensen Ackles: Whereas the British Men of Letters are just, you know, cut them off, clear up the mess and move on.
Arthur Ketch: We firmly believe the ends do justify the means.
Jensen Ackles: If there's some good to save, then I think the brothers feel it's their duty to find that and save that.
Dean: We kick ass. We save the world.

Посмотрела документалку The Winchester Mythology: A Hunter's Life из допов к 12 сезону, и поняла, что была неправа.
Создатели сериала прямым текстом говорят, что американские Men of Letters существуют с покорения Америки. То есть, с британцами они все же были параллельно.
Они существовали с основания Америки и до 1950х, но были чисто собирателями знаний, элитой, не желающей пачкать руки. И потому Сэм и Дин отнеслись к ним с недоверием, считая, что они не особенно эффективны в борьбе с монстрами.
И то же самое, но в еще большей степени они думали про британцев, но в данном случае как раз ошибались, потому что британцы были именно агрессивно эффективны.
Ну и по мелочи: Сэм и Дин отличаются от других охотников тем, что они - команда, и в отличие от большинства охотников, у них много помощников, включая сотрудничество с Кроули и Ровеной. И нет узкой специализации на каком-то конкретном виде монстров.
Посмертный ритуал для охотников взят из древнегреческих ритуалов для павших воинов, но с поправкой на специфику.

Andrew Dabb (executive producer): Hunters, as we've portrayed them, have been a little bit of lone wolves. Mary Winchester and the Campbells. Her father had been a hunter, her grandfather had been a hunter, she was a hunter.
Boy: You kill werewolves?
Mary: I hunted a lot of bad things.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): The Campbells probably were famous on a little bit of a smaller scale, but they were a little bit closed off. I don't think they were ever really open to the broader hunter community, in the way that Sam and Dean have become over the course of the story. You had Henry Winchester, who was a Man of Letters who I think planned to pass that knowledge on to John, but was never given that opportunity because he obviously vanished.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): It was a little more destiny than anything else. The marriage between John and Mary was sort of foretold, and it was fate that they would have these kids. There's sort of a myth that's attached to their birth.
Jensen Ackles: Every time one of these big, massive events happens in the world, it seems like the Winchesters are always plugged-in somehow.
Dean: Family hunting trip.
...
Man: Who are you?
Sam: We're the guys that save the world.
...
Sam: Looks empty.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): Well, I think they're very unique among the hunters. First of all, they are a team, and most of the hunters, that we keep seeing, are solo acts that are operating on their own. Most of the hunters confine themselves to a specific problem like taking out a vamp's nest or taking out a werewolf. Look back at what Sam and Dean have accomplished... They've literally saved the planet a couple of times. They take on much more daunting cases.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): A very high attrition rate in the hunter community. Um, but I think Sam and Dean are probably the most famous hunters there are.
Jared Padalecki: I feel like the Winchester brothers, they always have each other's back, they're fighting for something else, other than just to kill the bad guy.
Samantha Smith (Mary): They're setting an example of, "Yes, we're ridding the world of these horrible creatures... But we'll make exceptions."
Brad Buckner (executive producer): Their skillet and tool set is completely different from most of the other hunters. I mean, they have at their disposal Bobby Singer's legendary encyclopedic knowledge of all things in the lore. They have the Men of Letters bunker, where there's a huge repository of all this incredible information.
Crowley: Once again I'm saving both your asses.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): They have players on their team, people like the King of Hell.
Sam: Can we just get the damn news without the drama?
Crowley: Can I get you without the flannel? No.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): Rowena, this legendary witch...
Rowena: Told you you'd need me.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): Castiel, who has access to Heaven...
Dean: You know, wings. Harp...
Cas: No, I don't have a harp.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): They just operate in a whole different strata from all the other hunters that are out there. A lot of the hunters are kind of in awe and a little intimidated by the Winchesters.
Jensen Ackles: They are, at the end of the day, just ordinary guys. They just happen to be extraordinary in what they have to deal with on a day-to-day basis. And I think that's what defines them as who they are.
Dean: Let's go kill some Nazis.
...
Man: I can explain.
Dean: Heil this.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): A lot of these hunters bring different skills. Charlie was an incredible researcher, a techno geek, and even could out-hack Sam. Bobby had this encyclopedic knowledge of all the lore. Rufus was the one who got Bobby into hunting and became a resource person for him. All these various hunters have a piece of the pie, usually. Nobody out-hunts Sam and Dean. So, they become tools in the tool kit.
Sam: I mean, I'm already in the Saint Paul Police Department database.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): Sam, we always have played as someone who's into books more than Dean.
Sam: I made a computer algorithm that scrapes data from police scanners, emergency calls, local news sites, and it puts everything through a... The computer told me.
Robert Berens (supervising producer): They're friends with Garth, but they're also occasionally allies with even big, evil players like Rowena and Crowley.
Mark Sheppard (Crowley): His relationship with the Winchesters is something completely different. There is this special place in Crowley's heart, I think, for Dean at least. I think they are very similar in lot of ways. I think, ultimately, they both want what's right. They want to be safe and secure. And yet, they've been doing a job that they've been doing for so long, they probably don't know how to do it any other way.
Robert Berens (supervising producer): In terms of their alliances and partnerships, they live in the gray.
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): All they can rely on is each other. They've become part of this commando unit. Get this.
Sam: Looks like there was another murder. Just like the one we're checking up on.
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): It's just a smart way to search and destroy using anyone's skills.
Sam: All deaths, all kids.
HUNTER HISTORY
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): Hunters have been a part of humanity for a long, long time. We talk about, like, using, you know, Van Helsing, using Buffy the Vampire Slayer, using Mina Darker. These would historically be hunters in our world.
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): It's a digital anti-consciousness. They are the hunters, but they can empathize with being hunted because they themselves can't be protected by society. 'Cause they've chosen to turn their backs on society in terms of law and order.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): Monsters have always been there in our universe. There have always been people that fight against them, and those people, whether they were called hunters, knights, or wizards or something else, that's what they've done. And they've been the people that really kept humanity safe.
Phil Cousineau (author "Once and future myths"): Part of the mythology of the hunter, the hunter is the one who stands up and says, "| will go slay the monster." The hunter feeds the family, feeds the tribe. The hunter protects the family and protects the tribe. The hunter is the embodiment of courage, and is the one who has the weapons to defeat these creatures, sometimes which are recognizable and sometimes are not recognizable.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): From Season 1, Supernatural has always gone its own way with the myths of a lot of these villains and creatures and monsters. You had to decapitate a vampire, which wasn't the way it normally went in a lot of the movies.
Robert Singer (executive producer): The American hunters, it's all really about field work, trial and error, passing on the knowledge that you had to other hunters.
Girl: Well, at least, we're all prepared.
Dean: Yep.
Girl: Impressive.
Dean: Demon blade. Kills them dead.
Girl and Boy: Nice.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): The difference between Sam Winchester and a witch is real narrow right now. Sam has done spells. They do Enoch rune to blast angels away. It's about taking those things that exist, taking those weapons that exist that are used against you, and turning them back on the bad guys. Sam and Dean have done that in a big way with hex bags, with vigils, with things like that.
Robert Singer (executive producer): Salt will dissipate a ghost. Well, what if we put salt pellets in a shotgun? That will send the ghost away.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): So, all of this evolved over time, but involved a lot of research just into the mythology of a particular thing, and then translating that into weaponry that can stop these things.
Man: What kind of a Devil's Trap?
Sam: Standard pentagram.
ORIGIN OF THE HUNTERS
Eric Kripke (series creator): Speaking as a fan boy, there's just something cool about the world. The reason I wrote it is 'cause it's all that I think is cool. There's this, like, cool little subculture of hunters. They are all scruffy and blue collar, and they've got cool guns and cool cars. They're all tough. And they are gunslingers. You know, like it was almost this modern American western. They get to cruise around, fighting monsters and saving chicks.
Dean: You two hunters?
Hunter: Randy Bull. Watch out for the horns, right?
Eric Kripke (series creator): There's something about that world that is a pool that people want to swim in.
Misha Collins: The American hunters that we see tend to be the kind of people who you would suspect of being totally paranoid and overrun by conspiracy theories.
Hunter: Are you Sam Winchester? You are, right?
Brad Buckner (executive producer): But I think Sam and Dean would be the first to tell you that certain hunters are nut jobs and not to be trusted and are dangerous and overly fanatical and not cautious enough.
Hunter: Drink, everybody!
Steve Yokey (executive story editor): Sometimes hunters tell the big fish stories. Everybody likes to tell a little bit of an oversized version of what they've accomplished. "l caught a fish this big." But with Sam and Dean, they're actually saving the world. Because of that bond that they have with each other and the trust that they have with each other, um, and their willingness to put their lives on the line, it's what makes them iconic to the other hunters.
Samantha Smith (Mary): Asa became obsessed with this one demon. As a hunter, you have to be careful not to become overconfident. But there's always room for mistake.
Dean: He died on the job. No better way to go.
Sam: You really believe that? Yeah, what, you don't?
Jody: They're gonna salt and burn the body tomorrow. I can't believe I just said that like it's something normal.
Robert Berens (supervising producer): The ritual of salting and burning the bodies is both a ritual of remembrance and honoring of the fallen dead but it's also a precaution against possession. Demonic possession, ghost possession. It's a way of sort of sealing the deal.
Phil Cousineau (author "Once and future myths"): The Ancient Greeks had a three-stage ceremony for a fallen warrior. You would wash the body of the fallen hero, and then the body would be set in a pyre and burned. With one exception.
Dean: "Wendigo"?
Hunter: Do it again!
Phil Cousineau (author "Once and future myths"): You celebrated a death by playing. This tells the gods that life goes on.
Mary: Dean said you got out of hunting.
Sam: Yeah.
Mary: And yet, here you are.
Sam: Well, this is my family. And my family hunts, you know. It's what we do.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): There are certain people like Charlie Bradbury and Jody and some of these people who, I think, they do consider family. Certainly, Bobby was like more of a father to them than their own father.
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): Yeah, he really became a family member, as our most enduring characters have become. I think you can say the same about Cass.
Cas: Knowing you, it's been the best part of my life. And the things we've shared together, they have changed me.
Misha Collins: I think Castiel definitely seems to function best as a member of the team. Like when he's working with Sam and Dean or even when he's working with his garrison of angels.
Cas: I love all of you.
Robert Berens (supervising producer): They are the only people who understand the mortal dangers that they face in their life as hunters every day. They have that kind of foxhole buddy connection.
Dean: And like you said, you're family. And we don't leave family behind.
ORGANIZED HUNTING
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): The American Men of Letters, for us, it's this organization that existed really from the founding of America up until about the 1950s.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): And the Americans were largely an intellectual unit that studied academically the idea of monsters and eradicating monsters and the history and the lore and all of that. But really weren't interested much in getting their hands dirty.
Steve Yokey (executive story editor): They were only sharing their research and knowledge with the elite echelon of American hunters. Most hunters were denied that and had to figure things out on their own. I'm sure that it ended up costing a lot of them their lives.
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): The Winchesters‘ grandfather was a Man of Letters. Sam and Dean, they are resistant to being in any way attached to the Men of Letters. They think of them as elitist and maybe not even that effective. They thought the American Men of Letters was irrelevant. I think they think even more so the British Men of Letters because they seem to be so above the struggle. You know, in fact, they're wrong because the British Men of Letters are pretty aggressive about their techniques.
Robert Berens (supervising producer): I think the Winchesters loom large to the other hunters as just a consequence of time in the game. The other hunters are aware of them. This season, we got a chance to actually play that, that Sam and Dean are legends. Did you know people tell stories about us?
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): Dean has a line in this season where he's like, "Look, you don't get where we are by studying books. "You get where we are by putting on a flannel, picking up a machete and going out there. if you're good, you live. And if you're not good, you die."
Steve Yokey (executive story editor): Ultimately, the show is about Sam and Dean hunting, at its core. And then, the show has grown to be Sam and Dean, and then, their other cohorts who have this bond. The show can be about the world ending, but it stays very intimate because it stays within the point of view of these brothers.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): Sometimes you have to go out there, take the wins, take the losses, learn and grow, and that's what the hunters on our show do.
Dean: Saving people and hunting things, this is our life. I think we make the world a better place. I know that we do.

Young Mary: You know, the worst thing I can think of is for my children to be raised into this like I was. Mary.
Dean: Can I tell you something?
Young Mary: Sure.
Dean: On November 2nd, 1983. No matter what you hear, or what you see, promise me you won't get out of bed.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): Mary came from a family of hunters, she was a hunter herself before she married John. And she had become, sort of a myth to the boys because she died trying to save Sam.
Samantha Smith (Mary): There was no way I could have foreseen the impact that her character would have on the show, and how much they held her close.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): Mary is the core of, really, our series, and she the core of our mythology. it all starts with her.
Young Mary: YOU killed him.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): When Mary was young, Azazel the Yellow-Eyed Demon, kind of our first big bad, came to her and made her a deal. John Winchester had been killed, he would bring her back. All Mary had to do was let Azazel into a room 10 years in the future. And Mary agreed.
Robert Singer (executive producer): He probably knew that was coming, but not where or when.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): And that room he walked into was her son room. And he the one that dripped demon blood in Sam mouth, and kind of started him on the path to becoming a vessel for Lucifer.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): And that the last time Dean saw her. He witnessed that. Sam never knew her at all.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): How she was manipulated, the choices she made, really shaped, you know, 11, 12 seasons of myth. Her impact on their lives has been more than probably anyone else on our show.
Dean: Mom?
Mary: Where am I? Who the hell are you?
Jared Padalecki: Momma back.
Jensen Ackles: It poses some interesting twists, just in relationships, because Sam and Dean have really never known their mother from an adult standpoint. Dean has very vague memories of her as a child, and Sam has virtually none.
Samantha Smith (Mary): I've come back many times, but always as a ghost, or a vision, or a hallucination.
Robert Singer (executive producer): Amara brought her back to be with Dean, that was a gift that Amara thought she was giving Dean. When Mary comes back after being in Heaven for some 30-odd years, she not sure that it was a gift at all. She happy to see her boys again, but these aren't the boys that she remembers, or the boys that she lived with in Heaven for 30-plus years.
Mary: Do you still like pie?
Dean: I mean...
Jensen Ackles: There a familiarity there that is, I guess, blood, but at the same time, a stranger in our house, so to speak. And she feels as strange to this land as we kind of feel having her around.
Mary: Is that a... A computer?
Dean: Welcome to the future.
Samantha Smith (Mary): And re-establishing the relationship with them, as a mother to adults, is a whole different situation.
Dean: I can't believe I let you talk me into this.
Mary: I'm your mother. You have to do what I say.
Robert Berens (supervising producer): They're so grateful for her return, they're a little bit blind to what going on with her.
Dean: You're Okay?
Mary: No.
Robert Berens (supervising producer): And that there actually a lot of internal conflict she struggling with, that Dean in particular is sort of afraid to process. I think he in a bit of denial about what going on with her.
Samantha Smith (Mary): As a hunter and as a strong woman, she not going to let it show, how much everything is overwhelming her. She sad, her husband is gone, and everything has changed for her, but she gonna just sort of take it in and deal with it internally.
Jared Padalecki: Sam has never had a good relationship with his parents because he didn't know his mom and his dad, he never got along with. And so, I think Sam is almost more meeting her as a fellow adult, you know? Because he didn't have any memories, he didn't remember Mom, he didn't remember the taste of her sandwiches, and the smell of the candles she liked to burn, or whatnot. Whereas Dean did, and he held on to a lot of that.
Jensen Ackles: He having, I think, a difficult time processing the fact that all of a sudden his mother is back, and alive. And watching and trying to adjust to her, and watching her try to adjust to them, it makes for some very uncomfortable moments.
Dean: Why don't I take this one solo, okay? We just don't know what we're walkin‘ into here.
Mary: We never know. We're hunters. I can handle myself. Okay? All right. Good talk.
...
Dean: You tell me where my brother is, and I might take it easy on you.
Ms Watts: No, please don't.
Robert Singer (executive producer): Mary admires the fact of how good they are at what they do, but she terribly fearful that she now going to have to be witness to something really bad happening to them. It a bittersweet pill for her.
Samanta Smith (Mary): I think that Mary has taken on responsibility for all of it. John wasn't a hunter until she died. And the boys would never have been hunters, had she not been a hunter.
Mary: I spent my life running from this, from hunting. And I got out. I never wanted this for you and Sam.
Samanta Smith (Mary): It not totally her fault, but the responsibility and the guilt is strong.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): So to even be around her sons, she has to be around hunting. This thing she been running from, this thing that she associates with death. Because she saw so many people die. It one thing to put herself through, it another thing to watch her sons go through. I think that very difficult for her.
Samanta Smith (Mary): No mother wants that for her kids.
Mary: Get away from my boys.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): She not only has maternal instincts, but she also has hunter instincts. And these are things that she thought she had left behind years ago, and she a little surprised to find out how deep that imprint goes. And the boys are stunned.
Dean: Holy crap.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): To see their mother actually kicking ass is sort of a revelation.
Mary: I found a case.
Samanta Smith (Mary): In the disorientation of coming back three decades later, you go back to what your root was.
Mary: It probably nothing, I just thought I might get out there, stretch my legs.
Samanta Smith (Mary): And I think that being raised as a hunter, having been a hunter in a good portion of her adult life, that where she thinks she'll find her footing.
Mary: Agent Shirley Partridge out of the Minneapolis field office. These are my partners, Agent Cassidy and Agent Bonaduce.
Robert Berens (supervising producer): In these first few episodes, what interesting is that being a hunter is also an escape from her internal struggle.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): And I think at first that comforting, but even that has a really strong downside, and she realizes that. She got possessed by a ghost, she almost killed her sons.
Possessed Mary: Mommy's gone.
Robert Singer (executive producer): Mary overcomes the ghost that possessing her, and basically frees up Sam for a moment to go and overcome the situation. She has a lot of guilt about that. You know, when it comes out. Even though Mary broke through tor the moment, the fact that that could happen is very upsetting for her. And really sort of makes her wonder whether her being around is the right idea.
Mary: I have to go.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): It not because she doesn't love them, it because she can't be in this place where, one, they're in danger, and two, she doesn't understand how she fits in this world.
Sam: It seems like our worst nightmare has come true, we're losing her again.
Mary: I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry.
Samanta Smith (Mary): I'm sure the boys see it as an abandonment. As a parent, Mary doesn't feel like there any choice. I think that it very clear why hunters hunt alone. You endanger the person that you're with, because they can be used as leverage. And I think that that is something that both Sam and Dean both see very clearly. As happy as they are to have their mom back, she a liability as well.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): She just desperately needs the time to go collect herself and come to grips with her new reality, and I think she starting to accept it.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): I think her story is just beginning. I think, you know, she walks away from Episode 3, she got John journal. She wants to go out there and kind of find her place in the world a little bit. And just kind of understanding where Sam and Dean came from, I think, is really important to her.
Samanta Smith (Mary): What been so exciting about Mary, and playing a role that I don't often get to play, is someone who just so hardcore and fearless. And so, to see Mary as the badass that we were hinted at, when we saw her in flashbacks... And now you don't just see it in little bits and pieces, you're gonna see Mary... just taking no prisoners. It'll be a lot of bloody noses.
Robert Singer (executive producer): I think the fans will enjoy this sort of iconic character that they knew, but didn't know very well, to get to know her a lot better.

Jared Padalecki: So in Supernatural, our character Bobby Singer, played by the wonderful Jim Beaver, has a quote "Family don't end in blood."
Jensen Ackles: It's one of the many mottos of Supernatural, and it is the family that you choose, and it is the people that you care about and that you fight next to and that you fight to save. And that inspire you. And that push you.
Robert Singer (executive producer): You know, I think definitely family was gonna be a theme right from the beginning. I mean, the pilot story was, uh... And whatever the mythology of Season 1 was, you know, the search for Dad.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): You'll watch the first few moments of the pilot, and it very clearly plants this flag about what it is. It is a family show.
Dean: Dad's missing. I need you to help me find him. I can't do this alone.
Sam: Yes, you can.
Dean: Yeah. Well, I don't want to.
Misha Collins: Like, who's your clan? Who are the people you care about the most? And obviously, two orphaned brothers couldn't care about anything in the world more than one another. But they envelop this community of people who also care about them and one another.
Alexander Calvert: Sam, and Dean, and Cass, and Jack and these host of characters are kind of with loss and forced to reassess what family is, and what I love about the show is they kind of build their own version of that.
Sam: How do you it? How does Dad do it?
Dean: Well, for one, them. I mean, I figure our family is so screwed to hell, maybe we can help some others. Makes things a little more bearable.
Jared Padalecki: There are so many characters along the way that Sam and Dean treat it as they would treat each other.
Dean: You know, saving people, hunting things. The family business.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): I think that was a core part of this because Sam and Dean are two guys, because they define everything by family, they're always looking for a family.
Jared Padalecki: Not everybody out there has a wonderful family life as far as their blood relatives.
Sam: You were just pissed off you couldn't control me anymore!
Dean: Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! That's enough.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): Sam and Dean come from a very dysfunctional family. Their father suffered this great, you know, world-shattering tragedy. Where he spent the entire rest of his life trying to get revenge, and unfortunately, Sam and Dean came second to that.
Sam: We got work to do.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): So when they got to be an adult, and I think people that come from dysfunctional families find this, is it becomes less about the family you were born into, and it becomes about your family by choice.
Jensen Ackles: When you find someone that's willing to fight alongside you for what you collectively believe is the right thing, then it instantly makes you brothers and sisters-in-arms. That's exactly what these two brothers found. They found other brothers and sisters-in-arms.
(Показанные фото, иллюстрирующие слова Дженсена. Даны ровно так, как в видео - в том же порядке)
Bobby: A storm's coming. And you boys, your daddy, you are smack in the middle of it.
Robert Singer (executive producer): Bobby really served as, you know, a father figure. One thing we always tried to do is if we had a guest character that really kind of hit the mark... we say, "Oh, we gotta keep going with this person." Bobby, that character's only one of them.
Jim Beaver: If you're walking the walk, and not just talking the talk, I think Bobby respects that immensely, and he sees that in Sam and Dean.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): Crowley, Charlie, Jack, Rowena, all these people had a commonality. They were all alone in their own little universes to an extent.
Robert Singer (executive producer): When Misha showed up... and created the Castiel character... we knew we had something special.
Misha Collins: It's been such an interesting arc with the character of Castiel on Supernatural.
Jensen Ackles: You know, sure, the story at the core was about these brothers, but it was also about this ragtag gang of fighters.
Samanta Smith (Mary Winchester): Most hunters are solitary. It's lonely, and when they can connect with other people who understand their pain, and their life, and their dedication, and their purpose, there's going to be a bond there.
Jensen Ackles: Go team. I'm thankful for not only the characters and how they were written, and how they affected the Winchesters. But also for the actors and actresses that have portrayed them because they too have become family with Jared and I. And they're part of this crazy circus that is Supernatural.
Bobby: Official FBI business, ma'am. Nothing to worry about.
Someone: Your badge is upside down. Reset, still rolling.
Someone: Let me get it set here.
...
Jared Padalecki: I'm Jared Padalecki.
Jensen Ackles: I'm Jensen Ackles.
Jared Padalecki: And we're gonna show you our day on set, you know, how much we love doing what we do and what exactly we do do.
Jensen Ackles: You said "do do."
Jared Padalecki: I did say "do do." That's awesome.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): Jared and Jensen are excellent actors, but their biggest achievement on this show is the example they were able to set for everybody. And it's kind of a famous story, but Eric Kripke sat them down, in the first season, and we're like, "This is your show. You guys set the tone of this show."
Eric Kripke (Series Creator): They're bringing so much more to it than I ever could have written. They're grounding it, they're making it real. It's clear you watch them, they're smart guys, going through this story and I'm thrilled.
Jensen Ackles: High-five.
Someone: High-five. Nice. Nice!
Jensen Ackles: No, that's all it is.
Someone: Cool.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): Both Jared and Jensen are capable of carrying a show on their own. As they now will go off and do, I'm sure. The fact we can get them together for this period of time, again, I don't know if it's something you're gonna repeat on a TV show for a while.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): They really are quite incredible. Jensen learned to tap dance for an episode. I keep hearing the phrase, "Once in a lifetime and probably so."
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): To get two guys of this caliber who are leading men to come in and do that job, and do it so well and so thoughtfully, again, I said it earlier, but I don't think I'm gonna find that again in my career.
Jensen Ackles: God.
Jensen Ackles: That's the crazy thing about being on a show this long and not just being on a show this long, but being with... a large majority of our crew has been with us either from the beginning, 15 years, or they've been with us for 12 years, or 10 years, or eight years.
Robert Singer (executive producer): Our set was always loose. The crew felt part of the family. They were in on the joke, the guys were always great to the crew, had great respect for the crew.
Jensen Ackles: Hey, Gabe, shut up.
Mark Sheppard: Truly great people, all at the peak of their abilities. Some great, great wonderful writers, some extraordinary producers over the years. Showrunners from Kripke at the beginning, to Sarah, to Jeremy, to Andrew. It's been an amazing journey.
Misha Collins: I've just been both grateful and inspired to be around a crew like this. We'd laugh so much. And I know that Jared and Jensen and the producers would all agree, we wouldn't be here if the crew of Supernatural wasn't the crew that it is.
Alexander Calvert as Jack: It's getting worse, not better. That's the problem.
Misha Collins as Cas: Hey. It never gets better.
...
Jared Padalecki: Boop.
Alexander Calvert: I came in to the show relatively late compared to everybody else. The relationships that I've seen at work and away from work are incredible. People have started families, people have had kids on the show. I think these people are gonna be in each other's lives forever because of this bond that they've formed.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): This is a show where assistants have gone on to write scripts. This is a show where crew people have gone on to direct. It's a show that has tried to be supportive to people who show that passion and that work ethic to get up there and do it. I certainly have felt supported. I went from staff writer to running the show, and, you know, so obviously, I felt very supported in kind of my goals.
Ruby: So call me.
Sam: Yeah, sure thing, Cathy.
Ruby: Krissy.
Sam: Right.
Jared Padalecki: You know, I've met my wife, mother of my kids, I met one of my groomsmen, I met a ton of dear friends. And I have a new extended family, our SPN family.
Jared Padalecki: Cool. You're having a good time?
Jared Padalecki: I'm honored and flattered and grateful that I got to be a part of that journey.
Alexander Calvert: I think the overwhelming thing that I'd like to express for me, and I think for a lot of people on the show that maybe don't get a say... which I want to represent... is the crew... and the people who build the show and paint the show... you know, costume the show and are here every day working on it. I think for a lot of us it's just gratitude and thankfulness that we get to do what we do.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): The writing side here in Burbank has always felt like a family atmosphere. I feel it's a great gift that we work with so many people that are talented and professional.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): A lot of laughter in that room. I remember a tabletop strewn with toys and Play Doh and Slinkies and Etch A Sketches and blocks that got played with endlessly. I know there's a whole wall covered with index cards with various either funny, pointless or stupid things that the writers have said over the course of many meetings that's tacked up on a wall.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): And I remember just a lot of give-and-take and a lot of feelings of safety in that room. It was maybe the largest production office I've worked in. The tiki bar in the middle of the office always laid out with cakes or whatever for birthdays.
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): We were a community, a brotherhood, a sisterhood. That kind of was the way everything was run.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): One of the writers, I remember, once had major surgery and had to come to work in sweats or in loose-fitting stuff, so a lot of the writers showed up in p.j.'s as a sort of a show of solidarity. So there's just lots of ways that people supported each other.
Robert Singer (executive producer): And action.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): And I just feel incredibly lucky to have worked with, number one, with Bob Singer because I worked with him for 15 years now. It has been the most rewarding partnership, mentorship, whatever you wanna call it, of my professional life in terms of my being able to learn from him.
Jared Padalecki: His involvement in the series was so necessary from day one. He can walk on set, look at me, not really say anything, just give me a face and I'm like: "Got it." And that's built over time.
Robert Singer (executive producer): I come in with a plan, but it's not chipped in stone, and lots of times, you know, the guys would have ideas. Sometimes I would accept them readily, sometimes we had to talk about them, but there was always this mutual respect.
Jensen Ackles: He has been just this Yoda character for our show. I call him "my confident captain." He's just been the real compass of this show for so long.
Jared Padalecki: Cut!
Robert Singer (executive producer): Ha-ha. Make fun of Bob. Okay, here we go.
Someone: Make fun with Bob.
Jensen Ackles: We have come together in times of crisis. We've lost several of our crew members. We lost Jaap. We lost Matt Riley. We lost Kim Manners in Season 4.
Robert Singer (executive producer): Kim was a great guy and a great director. Let's go right away. Everybody responded to his talent but also to who he was.
Jared Padalecki: He used to say: "You know, we're not curing cancer, and I spend more time with you than I do my wife, my kids, my dogs, so if we're not having a good time, then what are we doing?"
Jared Padalecki: And so we tried to make sure that we kept it light and that we all realized, like: "Hey, we're putting on makeup and playing pretend for a living."
Mark Sheppard: I came here to do a couple of episodes for a show that Kim Manners told me I really needed to do someday because I'd enjoy it and I'd love the boys. And he was right. He was absolutely right.
Robert Singer (executive producer): The hardest part of Season 4 was losing Kim, and I think the... the best thing we could say about losing Kim was that we never replaced him. I didn't feel like anyone should have that job other than Kim. So, yeah, that was hard.
Someone: Always keep fighting.
Jared Padalecki: No way.
Someone: That's awesome, guys.
Jensen Ackles: I'm not quite sure when the phrase was coined, but the SPN family as the fandom is lovingly known as. What we are on set as a crew is now reflected in what we see as a fandom.
Jensen Ackles: Just like Dean.
Misha Collins: The SPN family, Supernatural family... I've seen so many instances of people gathering together to go support a Supernatural fan.
Misha Collins: Hi.
Misha Collins: It's so lovely and inspiring, and I honestly, you know, hope that that could serve as a template for how greater society works.
Cas: I love you.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): What these guys were feeling for each other, or for other characters, or when they were afraid, or when they love somebody, it just radiated off the screen, and the fans really picked up on that.
Jared Padalecki: I know several of the fans personally and I care about them deeply. And it's neat to talk about a shared passion. "Man, I love Supernatural too." Like, "I love the storyline too. I liked that episode too. Let's talk about it."
Jensen Ackles: We have this unique situation with our show where we're able to do these fan conventions and we do them quite often. And it gives us an opportunity to get in front of a lot of these people and have honest real conversations with them face-to-face. And that's-- In my opinion, that's helped shape the show.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): And this is not just limited to the United States, it's a worldwide thing. There are these conventions held, you know, everywhere in the world.
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): The fans are so polite. They're very respectful of each other's appreciation of the same show they appreciate. It's like, "We're all in this together."
Alexander Calvert: I can tell you that the people that I've met that have been affected by the show, and the fans of the show will tell you 100 times over that this is not the end, that this goes on forever.
Robert Singer (executive producer): They've bonded over this show...
Female viewer 1: Dean.
Robert Singer (executive producer): ...and have created their own Supernatural family.
Dean: Bye, Sam.
Robert Singer (executive producer): ...and have tremendous respect for what we do, but respect for each other.
Female viewer 2: Oh, it's okay.
Robert Singer (executive producer): Just the motivation of why we wanted to always keep this show going and keep it fresh was not to disappoint the fans.
Male Viewer: Sorry. I'm so happy. This is such a beautiful ending.
Robert Singer (executive producer): We didn't want to disappoint them because we didn't wanna disappoint family members.
Female viewer 3: I don't think the cast or crew will watch this, but if you do, thank you for everything.
Female viewer 4: Thank you. Carry on, my wayward people.
Male Viewer: Thank you, Supernatural.
Andrew Dabb (executive producer): There's nothing I won't miss. This has been, creatively speaking, an incredible gift.
Jensen Ackles as Dean: I'm all nogged up right now.
Jared Padalecki as Sam: Nog in. Nog it in here.
Brad Buckner (executive producer): Just being able to go to work and have that kind of freedom and not dread going into a place.
Jensen Ackles: We love the show. We love the story.
Dean: I just know we're all we've got.
Jensen Ackles: We love these characters. We love the people we make this show with.
Jensen Ackles: I hope and I believe that that translates on camera.
Dean: No chick flick moments. Come on.
Eugenie Ross-Leming (executive producer): You know, there's always reruns. They'll always be able to see Sam and Dean.
Alexander Calvert: I think everybody loves that Sam and Dean can go through hell together, literally, and give each other a big hug at the end of it. And know that they're gonna be all right because they have each other. And I think that's a really beautiful concept to show.
Dean: Bottom line is you're family. I don't know if you've noticed, but me and Sam, we don't have much left. I can't do this without you.
Robert Singer (executive producer): That bond is really, I think... you know, the heart and soul of the show and what gave us the longevity that we had.
Dean: You're our brother, Cass. I want you to know that.
Misha Collins: I also genuinely hope...
Cas: Thank you.
Misha Collins:...that the Supernatural family is something that carries on past the end of the shooting of the show. I hope we can continue collectively to do good in the world and to set a good example, and to be a family to one another.
Jared Padalecki: Sam and Dean, much like Jared and Jensen, over the course of Supernatural, were allowed to add many members to their family, and they would do anything for their family members and vice versa. This world and this journey isn't just about fighting for yourself, or fighting for somebody that it'll benefit you. It's not about the glory, it's about doing what's right and taking care of good people. And I think Supernatural, from day one, has been able to accomplish that.
Dean: Because when it all came down to it, it was always you and me. And you're fighting because you, you always keep fighting. You hear me?
