Misha Collins, who plays the angel Castiel on The CW's Thursday-night thrill ride Supernatural, may not wield the awesome powers of a heavenly being in real life, but that doesn't mean he lacks skills.

Supernatural returns for a fourth hell-raising, eyeball-melting season on Thursday, Sept. 18, and executive producer and frequent director Kim Masters says fans can expect more of the show's trademark blend of twisty storytelling, horrific situations and brotherly interactions -- with the added benefit of an impending apocalypse.
