Demons are after Mary, who is searching for Samuel, who she last heard was on his way to this warehouse to look for a mystical document. It takes John about 0.02 seconds to accept that demons exist, which saves everyone a lot of exposition and brings us right into the meat of the complicated plot. A demon shows up and tries to kill John, but he’s in luck - Mary’s there! She saves his life, they do some quipping, she pours some salt around, and we’re firmly back in the world of Supernatural. They meet-cute again a few minutes later, when a letter and key from Henry that mysteriously made its way into John’s possession directs him toward an abandoned warehouse. Within minutes of stepping off the bus back in town, he literally bumps into Mary for their first meet-cute. John has more going on than just daddy issues, as he has also witnessed unspeakable tragedy on the battlefield and appears to be haunted by post-traumatic stress and possibly a war ghost. He thinks Henry walked out on him as a child, and though those of us who made it deep into Supernatural know Henry’s fate, the prequel will either retcon this or uncover it later. After two years in Vietnam, John (Drake Rodger) returns to his hometown of Lawrence, Kansas, where he intends to search for his dad, Henry Winchester. Lest you think The Winchesters is just Supernatural with bell-bottoms, this time there are two missing fathers. ![]() That man appears to be hunter Samuel Campbell, Sam and Dean’s grandpa, and when we meet his daughter, Mary (Meg Donnelly), on the other side of the credits, he has been missing for a few days. The pilot cold-opens on a graveyard in New Orleans, where a man dressed like Indiana Jones runs into trouble with some kind of monster. ![]() There’s no evidence of that yet in The Winchesters, which dives right into the action. It’s hard to see how the show moves forward without changing Supernatural’s established canon, though the Ackleses and showrunner Robbie Thompson have insisted viewers will ultimately be satisfied with how the mythology comes back around. 1983 phantom of the opera cast series#Most of these questions aren’t answered in the pilot, which, like the past four seasons of the source material, is a touch too plot-heavy to form an opinion about how the rest of the series is going to go. 1983 phantom of the opera cast movie#Don’t we know that John and Mary met at a movie theater, had coffee, and bonded over Led Zeppelin? How can they hunt together if John didn’t know about the supernatural until after Mary died in 1983? How is Dean going to narrate, considering they sent him to Car Heaven in the series finale? Are we memory-holing Sam? Where’s Castiel? Do we really need more of a 327-episode TV show? Ackles narrates the season as Dean based on some pre-prequel drama, it does not seem as though Sam will be showing up.įor those of us who have watched the original, The Winchesters’ premise already raises a few flags. Produced by Ackles and his wife, Danneel, the CW’s The Winchesters takes us back to 1972 to watch Sam and Dean’s parents, John Winchester and Mary Campbell, hunt demons together and fall in love. 1983 phantom of the opera cast full#What started as a WB show about two (hot) brothers hunting monsters and searching for their missing father eventually turned into a bloated CW fantasy juggernaut that put Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) Winchester through incessant angel-on-angel wars, alternate dimensions, fourth wall–breaking, multiple trips to Heaven and hell, the violent murders of all their friends and family, and a full season centered on Dean having a crush on God’s sister.Īnd since nothing Supernatural-related ever stays dead, now we have a prequel. By the time Supernatural ended its 15-season run in 2020, it seemed as if the series had wrung out every possible story line. ![]()
