caithreamI... I think I'm in love with Sera Gamble.
Sequential Tart: Eric Kripke's offered a variety of answers in interviews as to what Supernatural is for him, the most often-quoted probably being "Star Wars in truck stop America". Is that the interpretation you approach it with, or do you have a different take?
Sera Gamble: I sometimes say it's "the epic love story of Sam and Dean," but that's just to tease Eric.
*ROLLS OVER AND DIES. EVERYWHERE.*
SG: Here's the basic process: the writers sit down with the executive producers and pitch a bunch of ideas. My style is to just keep talking until Eric's look of "you're on crack" is replaced by the faraway, happy look of "this could potentially make people pee themselves with fear".
Is it wrong that I really want to know what her "you're on crack" theories are? Like, a lot?
SG: I'm intrigued by the larger questions our show raises — if there's a hell, does that mean there's a heaven? I wrote an episode in which people kill after being visited by something that may or may not be an angel.
NGGHHHH. I need there to be an episode in which the boys deal with the Light instead of the Dark. I mean, they're going to have address it one of these days, right? It doesn't say that that episode's been scrapped, just that she wrote it, and, so, yes? Hopeful? Eeee?
SG: When we were working on it, we would put on that Voice Over Guy voice and go, "This week on Supernatural: hot zombie chicks. And next week, Sam and Dean ponder the age-old question, 'Is there a God?'" It was heavy.
♥♥♥♥
SG: Happily, I'm working on some ideas now that can best be summed up as, "Sam Winchester gets laid."
I'M DIE. EVERYWHERE.
ST: Is there any story you really hope to get the chance to tell through Supernatural?
SG: I like really trippy, layered, surreal episodes. I'd like to do an episode with whole scenes that take place inside nightmares. Nightmare on Elm Street completely freaked me out when I was a kid. And it'd be a good excuse to do all that Being John Malkovich unconscious mind stuff.
Oh. Oh yes. How freaking well would that work out in the show? So good. YES.
I love so so so much that she wrote Bloodlust, because I love Gordon, and I love, "He's the only one who gets to call me that," and YES. She also wrote Faith, my favorite episode of S1 hands-down, and seriously, how much more could I fangirl this chick?!
I have to be at work in less than an hour, and I'm closing tonight. I'm kind of crossing my fingers that since it's still 80 degrees out, we'll be less busy? Yes. I'll go with that.
PS: WE MIGHT BE GETTING A SIAMESE KITTEN. OH EM GEES.
