'Supernatural': 15 Questions we'd ask if we were guaranteed an honest answer
Twitter
Google
On tonight's Oct. 29 episode of "Supernatural," called "You Can't Handle the Truth," the Goddess of Truth curses people with the ability to hear only the truth. Brutal honesty from their acquaintances drives people to suicide, but Dean (Jensen Ackles) uses the curse to try to get some answers from his brother, Sam (Jared Padalecki).Dean isn't the only one with a laundry list of questions. In sticking with the brutal honesty theme, we came up with a list of questions we'd ask show runner Sera Gamble if we could dose her with truth serum. (Don't worry, Sera... we haven't actually figured out how to get our hands on any, yet, so you don't need to worry about being accosted. Yes.)
1. What happened to Sam in hell? Padalecki told Zap2it when we visited the "Supernatural" set that Sam's tour of duty was worse than Dean's was... and Dean spent thirty years being sliced and diced, and another ten years doing the carving. Could Sam's trauma be the reason behind his very unSamlike behavior this season? And speaking of which...
2. Is Sam actually Sam? In "You Can't Handle the Truth," Castiel will assure Dean that Sam's body isn't still possessed by Lucifer. Still, it appears that there's a light on, but Sam Winchester isn't home.
3. What do angels do with the souls they're collecting? Balthazar said that souls are valuable to both angels and demons. We know that when a demon buys a soul, the soul goes to hell, where it's tortured until it becomes a demon. But what does an angel do with a soul that's bought and paid for? And is there a connection between the sudden run on souls for clearance prices and Sam's not-Sam-ness?
4. What is Samuel's (Mitch Pileggi) master plan? Instead of killing monsters, Samuel is collecting them like lab specimens. Is he using them for research purposes? Building his own little monster army? What is his agenda and why does he feel the need to keep it from Sam, especially now that Sam has put hunting at #1 on his priority list, bumping Dean out of the top spot.
5. With Crowley (Mark Sheppard) in charge of Hell and Castiel (Misha Collins) taking over as big man on cloud nine in Heaven, will we get to see a showdown between the two? With Crowley's wicked sense of humor and Castiel's hilarious lack thereof, throwing these two into a Celebrity Deathmatch wold be 100% epic.
6. Will Lisa forgive Dean for his under-the-influence of vampire blood bad behavior? He scared the crap out of Ben, which might be an unforgivable offense... but then again, Lisa knew what she was getting into when she invited Dean to stay, and his harsh actions were borne out of fear for Ben's safety. We hope we haven't seen the last of her -- she's become one of our all-time favorite characters on this show.
7. Hookers? Really? Sam may be the definition of creepsterville right now, but he still looks like Jared Padalecki. Surely there's somebody out there willing to hook up with him for free... and even if there isn't, Sam has had years of celibacy before. Why is he looking to get laid now that he's more or less an emotionless robot?
8. What are the alpha monsters up to? The djinns, shapeshifters, and vampires have all been working for a boss this season. Is there an alpha for each species of monster, or one master to rule them all? What are they gearing up for, and why have all the patterns suddenly been broken? Sam, Dean, and the Impala prevented the apocalypse... so why are we getting the impression that there's another one waiting in the wings?
9. Why didn't Dean confront Sam about the vampire issue right away? Sam essentially watched Dean die while smiling knowingly to himself. It creeped us out to see Dean just jump into the car with him after that. We know Dean loves his brother, but if we were Dean, we'd seriously be considering fratricide.
10. Where is the Samulet? Call us stubborn, but we just refuse to believe that the necklace Sam gave Dean is gone forever.
11. What's up with Chuck? In last season's heartwrenching finale, it was revealed that the prophet Chuck is capable of more than just putting purple prose to paper. Is he, in fact, God? And if he is, why is he giving Sam and Dean such a hard time of it? If he's not God, is he an angel? It's time to revisit our favorite bad writer.
12. Is John Winchester in Heaven, and does he have a horse in the race? If there's a war to be fought, and John is around, we have a hard time believing that he's not on the front lines. We know Jeffrey Dean Morgan is off being a big movie star, but with everything going on in Heaven right now, Papa W. deserves a mention at the very least, right?
13. Did we forget about Adam? While we're on the subject of people who need to be mentioned, Sam and Dean haven't addressed the fact that while Sam is topside, their illegitimate half-brother Adam is still missing in action. Were Sam and Adam together in hell? Was Adam's lack of Campbell blood the reason he didn't wake up on earth? Is there any plan to try to get him out of the cage?
14. What have the Ghostfacers been up to? We loved the web series, but we miss seeing Ed and Harry interacting with Sam and Dean. We think a tangle with the Ghostfacers is just what Dean needs to remind himself that his life could definitely be worse.
15. How long is Sam going to be a shell of his former self? Okay, we know that every story takes some time to play itself out, but we'd like to know just how long we're going to have to be missing Sam. If he's not going to act like Sam before the end of the season, we'll need to prepare ourselves. Start wearing black. Organize a candlelight vigil. Start a letter-writing campaign. Etc.Etc. Etc.

My question to Sera would be why is there so few scenes between Dean and Cas when they have tremendous chemistry and work so well together. In fact, why is there so little Cas in the season so far. Misha/Castiel makes every episode so much better.
Oh and just wanted to say Lisa may be one of your favorite characters but she isn't mine. And I am hoping we see less of her not more.
What happened with Jesse the anti-christ boy??
Will Cas ask Ash for help with his Heavenly problems? Ash does have his very own holy roller police scanner... and he's a genius.
The first question I would ask is about intent....Is It the writer's Intent to edge us into hating Sammy?? If so, why? wasn't the demon blood and Ruby enough torture for us?? what about Lucifer wearing the Sammy suit, geez I have had about enough of this Sammy going darkside thing!how about we let Sammy go back to being a good hunter without all the bs, Dean Is practically holding on by a thread It's so not fair!
Who got Sam out of Hell and why?
Like Diana, I've been wondering the same question... Was he just some kind of filler? They initially wanted to make him return but changed their minds later? Will he ever return?
Carina! Get out of my mind!
You have asked every question I would ask, save one:
16. Why does Sam look like an android absorbing others' behavior as if he had a report to deliver to somebody down the road!? He stands and observes all the chaos going on around him, and one can almost see the solenoid switches clicking on and off as he watches. Reminds me a bit of the Governator in the Terminator movies.
The part of a human being that feels seems to be missing in Sam. As he told Dean, "It's better with you around because you care."
Everything that's going on in Season 6 is OUTSTANDING! All the cast members are doing fantastic jobs. Love, love, love, the show; it's the best thing on TV right now, without question.
Question 1: Will we see the traditional Dean and Lisa gets married for the week of sweeps and then later we get to see her and the kid die due to their relationship to our hunters?
Question 2: Will we ever see Dean and Sam both die together in a episode leaving Bobby the decision to go to the crossroads (again for Bobby) to make a deal. Or Cass to deal his position as an Angel for their lives?
Question 3: Why have we never seen anyone need a Angel wing/feather from an Angel wing from Cass into one of the spells?
Question 4: Will we ever see Bobby “adopt” or go ahead and train Adam for the lifestyle of being a hunter.
MY FAVORITE Question: Will SUPERNATURAL ever be the first TV series to have an entire Season (such as Season 8~our Fans-We Appreciate!) written by the fans? Think about it. A limited time contest where we (dedicated fans) send in our versions of scripts for writers to approve (I mean void the fantasy ones where Sam and Dean investigate a nudist colony or run around in towels all episode) and the each of the selected 22 winners get to be on the set or in a background scene when they film their completed version.
I have more!!!
All Brilliant questions & I love the idea of fans writing episodes although my mind did flash to a little more skin showing (ha ha) - maybe then we would get back to the way the show should be! Did Jared **** of Sera before the season so she thought 'die bastard'! My question to Sera would be - remember we are up to ep 7 so you are running out of time to get the Dean & Sam chemistry back - what is your plan? Or will you admit to us you have lost the plot?
As to the hookers - It brings to mind Charlie Sheen, who said he didn't pay them for sex - he paid them to leave afterwards.
love your questions! I'm a huge Lisa lover too. :)
