Laura, from Huffingtonpost.com has up a new interview with the actor Misha Collins.
Misha talks about tonight’s episode 7.21 “Reading Is Fundamental”, his relationship between Sam and Dean, his charities projects and more.
Be careful with the spoilers ahead!
The CW’s “Supernatural” (Fridays at 9 p.m. ET) seems to pride itself on putting its characters through the wringer. Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) have both been to hell and back, literally, while their angelic sidekick, Castiel (Misha Collins), has been exploded multiple times, fallen victim to Leviathan possession and is currently suffering from Lucifer-centric hallucinations … Needless to say, they’re all long overdue for a vacation.
The May 4 episode — “Reading Is Fundamental,” written and directed by genre favorite Ben Edlund — sees Castiel awaken from his catatonic state not a moment too soon; a new prophet has been activated, and there are archangels on his tail, leaving him in desperate need of some divine intervention. HuffPost TV has an exclusive sneak peek at the episode below and last week, we caught up with Misha Collins to find out what’s coming up for the ever-evolving Castiel, including his relationships with Dean, Sam, Meg and Crowley.
Light spoilers ahead.
The May 4 episode has Castiel waking up from his coma. What state is he going to be in, mentally and physically, when Sam and Dean arrive?
Well, once again he’s not going to be the same old Cas. I mean, essentially now he has a broken wall. And he, in some ways, deals with that very well, and others not well at all. One of the bonuses, I guess for an angel, is that an angel with a broken wall is kind of an enlightened being. He sees the absurdity of the universe in its true light. But that makes him a little bit less efficacious when it comes to helping, because he doesn’t really care as much.
I’m not sure how much the show is going to delve into this narratively, so can you expand on what exactly Castiel took out of Sam, in terms of the Lucifer hallucinations? Are Castiel’s fears and insanity now causing them, or is it Sam’s unique craziness transferred to Cas, or is it truly Lucifer?
Well, it’s really actually a little bit of all of the above …
Oh dear. But it sounds like the hallucinations won’t be too much of a hindrance in the last couple of episodes in terms of Castiel’s involvement. Is this something he can recover from without lasting damage?
I don’t know about that … No. Maybe not. I don’t know. I mean, it definitely does affect him. It’s not like he can muscle through. He behaves certainly differently now, and I don’t know how lasting that’s going to be.
