1. In some interview, Sera Gamble, executive story editor for Supernatural states, "I’d like to give Dean a real arc with a love interest. Some interesting, troubled, kick-ass chick who really messes with him." What do you think about this?

I don't mind them doing this as long as she's a good character and not a Mary Sue, like Jo. She can't have the typical Mary Sue afflictions and troubled past issues. Troubled pasts are fine, but let's do something new. She needs to be closer to Dean's age (than Jo). She needs to be played by someone who can actually act, whom Jensen has chemistry with. I'd like it if she started out just as reckless as he is (likeably slutty), but not in an annoying ultraperfect way. And they learned the joy of monogamy together. Or just had bigass orgies together. Something. She shouldn't be an innocent little schoolgirl who thinks Dean and hunting are just dreeeeeamyyyyyyy, who thinks she knows everything when she really has a ton to learn and too much attitude to learn it. Everything that makes a character like this annoying should not be in this girl unless she's a really kickass actress who can pull one or two of them off.

I would have loved it if they'd had a female folcrum for Sam and Dean from the beginning, like a sister, but they didn't do it, and it's probably too late now. Most fans would probably shit a brick if they pulled something like that. Like, with Buffy, I felt that they successfully gave Buffy a sister really far into the game, but many fans HATED Dawn. Dawn could do no right. She was my second favorite character, after Spike. *Shrug* She did start out really irritating, but they toned her down after about five episodes. I wish they'd somehow give Sam and Dean a sister so they'd have a woman to interact with on a regular basis who could kick ass without being an unevenly characterized little git.

2. In what other BOOK or COMIC BOOK can you see Sam and/or Dean?

The Buffy comic books. Any manga that has a supernatural theme.

3. As far as make-up and special effects are concerned, what do you think were the BEST and WORST monsters/creatures/demons featured in Supernatural so far?

Best - The scarecrow from "Scarecrow." Very creepy. I was yelling at Dean to get down off the ladder before it attacked him.
Worst - LAST NIGHT'S "WEREWOLVES"

4. All demonic rituals aside, if John had died instead of Mary, how do you think Sam, Dean, and Mary would be living today? Would Mary have followed the same path as John? Or would they have taken a completely different path?

I think Mary would have just gone on with her life, figuring she was just seeing things, and probably remarried. Women are just not usually as gung-ho as men for the guns and the hunting. They direct their grief in other ways.

5. We get a pretty surprising reversal of roles at the end of "Heart". Now that Sam has been in Dean's shoe, now how do you forsee the series ending, as opposed to what you thought before? Any new changes?

Just in one shoe? ;) Any new changes? No. Not really. They'll either defeat the Demon and both live, or one will die and the other will go on with his life in a heroic tribute to the other.
