Onthis weeksSupernatural, Dean came face-to-face with Death, which oddly, is not a first for the Winchester.
Rather, it had everything to do with Dean.
But this time, he wasnt in the mood to fight.
You wanna die, Death told him, realizing the fighting spirit of Dean Winchester had disappeared.
This time, Dean was willing to accept death, even hoping for it.
Now, hes left to try and fight his way back from a very dark place.
There have been a few [episodes] where weve had to bend morality.
The Benders was dark because it was just about humans.
Padalecki also remembers the darkness surrounding Sams demon blood days in season 4.
I kind of treated it like you would addiction; I did a lot of research on addiction.
Ackles has similar memories for Deans darkest days.
Season 6 and 7, there was this undercurrent of Dean battling inner demons that was never really discussed.
Dean was just drinking a lot and was not really confronting the issues.
That was pretty thick.
But its hard to stay in that mode for too long.
Supernaturalairs Thursdays at 8 p.m.
