Supernatural's Misha Collins, Jared Padalecki and creator Eric Kripke joined forces with Stacey Abrams to raise funds for her Fair Fight organization.
Supernatural's first post-finale reunion will take place on Dec. 8, as stated on Twitter. Creator Eric Kripke, Misha Collins, Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles will be reuniting to chat all things Supernatural with activist Stacey Abrams and to raise funds for Fair Fight.
The virtual event live-streamed on Dec. 8 at 9:00 p.m. ET. Instructions for the virtual event are sent to those who donate and details are listed on the donation's confirmation page.
Today is Abrams's 47th birthday. She's busy "doing a bunch of crap" today, she said, but tomorrow she's going to shut herself in and finally watch the last three episodes of Supernatural, which aired in November. She called it her "Supernatural weeping day."
"I refuse to ruin my birthday by ending my show," Abrams said. I'm afraid she's in for some disappointment since, in my opinion, the finale was garbage, but I'll save that for another Slog post.
Abrams gushed about Supernatural.
She first discovered the show two years ago after a bad day trying to convince Californians to support her gubernatorial run in 2018. Dejected and avoiding fundraising calls, Abrams flicked on the hotel TV. A marathon of old Supernatural episodes was on, and she got hooked after watching the first scene. Here's how she described it:
"You two," Abrams said, referring to Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, "are in Baby [this is what the show calls Dean's beloved 1967 Chevy Impala; car-centric, I know] and having this conversation about how hard it is to live the life you have to live. It was this moment of, 'We have to stick with this because there are monsters out there, and no one else understands it, no one else believes, and even if it's hard, we can’t stop.'"
Unfortunately, that moment is hard to pinpoint because an emotionally-charged moment between Sam and Dean inside the Impala happens in about every episode. The show is all about destiny, fighting good and evil, and making sacrifices for the good of humanity. Abrams compared those motifs to her political career.
"I got into politics because I grew up in Mississippi and I know there are monsters out there," Abrams said, "Watching that show at that moment, you put me behind on that call list and you made a fan for life. Over the next year, I binge-watched 11 seasons. Supernatural was the thing I watched when I traveled, where I found respite when I was tired."
The show also resonated with her "faith in people" and her "religious faith." Sometimes Supernatural just made her more "thoughtful," but it also inspired her "in ways that kept me doing the work I needed to do."
More stars from past Supernatural episodes cropped up in the Zoom. She shook off her politician hat for a second to let everyone know she was secretly freaking out, and that she could name the complete IMDB filmography for even the most obscure actors there. Abrams even told actor Jim Beaver, who plays the curmudgeonly Uncle Bobby, that she calls her niece "Idjit," Bobby's catchphrase and chosen term of endearment.
