For Supernatural‘s season 14 premiere — which saw Sam and company desperately searching for Michael — EW hosted a screening event for subscribers in New York City, during which those in attendance got an early look at the season’s first episode. After the screening, Supernatural stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles took the stage for a Q&A, where they talked about everything from Ackles’ exploration of playing Michael to Sam’s grief beard, the flashbacks they’d still love to see, and much more.
