Eric Kripke

Eric Kripke : "When we started casting, we had archetypes in mind, which were Han Solo and Luke Skywalker. We were really looking for Sam to be empathetic, kind, and likeable, and really the audience surrogate. The person who the audience would most see themselves as and really carry the story through their eyes. And that required a really unique likeability. For Dean, we were looking for Han Solo. We were looking for devil-may-care, charismatic, a little rough around the edges, a little edgy, says things that are not always the kindest thing, as long as they're funny. And that was really what we started out with."

The Directors of Supernatural : Kevin Parks

Kevin Parks : "I walked into a production office. I was pretty much dressed in a three piece suit because I didn’t know whether the company was casual or not. And the production coordinator was quite impressed by that. And a day later I got called to come into work as an office production assistant." Source http://www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=Supernatural_From_Script_to_Screen:_First_Assistant_Director_Kevin_Parks#GETTING_STARTED

I've heard about Kevin not long after i joined twitter world. I remember @RUSS_MOVIEGOD (Location Manager for SPN ) tweeted and introduced Kevin to us.  I followed and he replied most of my tweets. I could tell this man such a humble nice guy. I've been told he's been with the show from day one! He asked fandom to help donate for his campaign for Team Supernatural "RIDE TO CONQUER CANCER" more details and how to help for his campaign this year here : http://www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=Supernatural_From_Script_to_Screen:_First_Assistant_Director_Kevin_Parks#RIDE_TO_CONQUER_CANCER
Back to Kevin and his part on SPN. He's a first assistant director. His job is responsible for all things either people,locations,costumes,vehicles,stunts,special effects, makeup effects and visual effects etc. All things which need to get ready for the set and also while filming.
If you look some pics from behind the scenes you would see him everywhere. He's really busy man !
Looking good there Kevin ! 

 

 
Could you spot him ?

Now we know all things on set would be plan and organise by him ! No question why he's also known as "Parksapedia" because of his encyclopedic knowledge of the show.
at least one occasion caught on tape ! Fans ask Jensen & Jared while at their panel #Vancon
They were struggling to answer! Luckily Kevin was there to answered the fans for them

From crew member become director for the episode 814  “Trial and Error” .
After has been prep for others for long time. He got opportunity to direct first episode.

Kevin: It sounds kind of weird but in my entire career I’ve never really saw myself as a Director. What I do is more on a producer end of doing things, but once we’d been on the show for seven years it basically came around to asking Bob Singer for the chance to do it. his episode last year and I got   It comes from them respecting the hard work that all of us do, to give us a new challenge and just to say thank you."

The Directors of Supernatural : Robert Singer ( Bob )

 Robert Singer : On Supernatural, things are never as the simple as black and white."
Robert Singer or as we know him as Bob has been involved with the show from start. He is a director, writer and executive producer.
He told the network can't just let Kripke spend big budget. They sent him to join and guide how the show to work with Kripke. And that what he did and even more than that until now many epic episodes directed by him or wrote by him! The clip below is about how Bob got in the show and what others thought about him. I agree with Kripke when he said Bob input to make depth for characters on the show. Bob perspective is more of realistic and layers but Kripke is more of kick ass, humour story line and blood spreading which work well together!
               Source  http://www.youtube.com/user/CocoDkR?feature=watch
Bob has become a senior team member which all respected for his work and personal friendship.
Jerry Wanek : On directing Slice Girl Episode "It was life changing for me. Must thank J&J for great performances. Bob for opportunity"
It's been a question about how the Bobby Singer came up with.Here Clip both Bob and Jim Beaver talk about this subject! I believed it's meant to prank and gone wild but we love both character and this name anyway ! Thanks Kripke ha ha I bet Bob will got him back in some way !

“All I see in our family tree is a whole lot of dead.” S812 Do you think like Dean or Sam ?

Before read my review Check out this AWESOME VID Made by @TinyBeanie

As I re watched this episode for the fourth times! Yup I enjoy so much! I thought now after Our boys been around and around to get out and leave all behind so they could do some work as known as family business.
 To opening world of Men of letters (MOL) world.  Make the whole game different! Either way could be good or worse if this knowledge in the bad guy's hand ( either Demons or Angels ). I could see them both know only them could save this Planet ! No choice other than put their heads in and keep fight!
      I'm sure of it The Winchester not short of good looking genes even as time goes by !

                                                         Happy good old day " Little John "
                                                                      Family reunion
                               Like grandpa like grandson. Kick ass moment
 
                                                         Time to say Good Bye
                                                          New object to save the World ?
 
 
 
                        We are on this road before to berried the one we loved.
As Sam's view  “I get it now, what Cupid said about Heaven busting ass to get mom and dad together. Winchesters and the Campbell's, the brains and the brawn.”

Dean's view “All I see in our family tree is a whole lot of dead.”
 
 I love that even though still have conflict between them but at the end as Grandpa said
“I’m sorry I judged you two so harshly for being Hunters. I should’ve known better. You’re also Winchesters. As long as we’re alive, there’s always hope.”
