When the Winchesters run into
computer troubles in Tuesday (Oct.
29) night's all-new episode of
"Supernatural," there's only one
person they can call for help:
everyone's favorite hacker, Charlie
Bradbury
( Felicia Day). But when a simple
computer task turns into something a
little more ... Oz-some , an all-out
war between Dorothy of Oz, Sam,
Dean, and Charlie vs. the Wicked
Witch threatens to destroy the Men of
Letters bunker.
Zap2it got the chance to talk about
the episode, "Slumber Party," with
geek goddess Day herself. Check out
what the returning fan-favorite guest
star had to say about Charlie's return,
a "Supernatural" spin on the classical
Wizard of Oz tale, a twist that leave
fans with some strong opinions, and
much more.
Zap2it: The last time we saw Charlie
Bradbury was in "Pac-Man Fever,"
when she was reading to her mother
in the hospital for one last time.
What has she been up to since then?
Felicia Day: Since the last time we
saw her I think she's grown a lot.
Obviously that was a really traumatic
situation for her but in a strange way
it was closure. With her mom
passing away, saying goodbye to her,
there is a sense of moving on. Also,
she revealed her past to Sam and
Dean in a way that she's never
revealed to anyone else, so there is a
sense of belonging and comfort with
the guys. The new direction that
Charlie is on is becoming a hunter.
We haven't seen her but she's
definitely been active and trying to
grow what she knows about the lore
and the world and exploring doing
things on her own. That's where
Charlie's at and she is thrilled to be
able to help the guys out with this
thing that they find at the bunker.
So what can you tell us about why
the brothers call on Charlie for help
in "Slumber Party?"
The bunker is relatively new to the
guys and it's such an amazing place.
There's a number of rooms and you
could find pretty much anything
there. They find this computer that
they don't really know how to crack
or operate so they call on Charlie
since she's obviously really good at
this stuff. That's the essence of it
and through that exploration they
uncover Dorothy and the Wizard of
Oz.
What was it like being a part of
"Supernatural's" twist on the Wizard
of Oz?
I loved it. When I first got the script I
was thrilled beyond compare
because this is exactly up my alley.
Not only do I love the Wizard of Oz
but I just love taking a world that's
familiar and re-envisioning it. And
the same writers who write all of
Charlie's episodes have such an
imagination, so it's always exciting to
get called up and asked to do an
episode. This one is so different -- it
has a great sense of humor about it,
it has a sense of wonder and fantasy,
but it also has some really emotional
things, so being able to put all of
those aspects together is not easy. I
think they did an amazing job with
the episode.
When Charlie and Dorothy first meet,
can we expect any sparks to fly like
they did with the fairy in "LARP and
the Real Girl?"
Rather than that sort of direction, I
think Charlie is kind of a geek -- she
is so odd -- so it's like seeing the
thing that you only imagined is
fiction come to life in front of you. As
a fangirl herself, she lives in other
people's worlds as an escape and as
entertainment, so this is sort of the
apex of what you can experience as
a fan, seeing a character come to life
and in a much different way than
you'd expect. This is not the
traditional Dorothy. She's a very
independent woman. She's kind of
like Amelia Earhart slash Indiana
Jones. She's a really strong female
character which Charlie has to deal
with in interesting and fun ways.
What can you tell us about the epic
battle that takes place in the Men of
Letters bunker between the Wicked
Witch and everyone else?
There are certain things that happen
that are very surprising in a way.
There's definitely a twist and a new
kind of urgency to get this thing
solved even though it takes place all
in the bunker. The witch opens a
gate to Oz so there's a threat to both
sides, our world and that one. It's
something that has to be solved.
Plus Crowley is still in the bunker as
well, so there are definitely some
very interesting twists that I think
people will get strong opinions
about.
You mentioned Crowley ... any
chance Charlie or Dorothy or the
Wicked Witch will come face to face
with the King of Hell?
I can't say that but I can say that he
is involved.
"Supernatural" is obviously a very
male-dominated show, so what has
it been like being one of the only
recurring female characters that the
fans have really embraced?
I'm totally honored to not only be a
part of the "Supernatural" cast but to
have the fans embrace the character
of Charlie so much. I have been to a
lot of conventions this year and I
have to say, universally, it is just
amazing to meet the passionate fans
of Supernatural who continue
supporting what I do. Just talking to
them online and seeing how much
the show means to them, that's the
epitome of TV and why I love being
on the kinds of shows that I luckily
get to be on and make the shows
that I luckily get to make. It's an
extension of the world that I love and
their passion might rival any other
show out there. It's up there with
"Firefly," for sure, which I think is the
most fan-driven show ever. But that's
just my opinion.
Why do you think the fans have
taken to Charlie in such a positive
way, enough to make the
showrunners bring you back for a
fourth episode?
Like you said, it's a very male-
dominated show. There are a high
number of female deaths ... there just
seems to be a higher mortality rate
for ladies on the show. But Charlie is
the ultimate fangirl, in a way. She's a
reflection of someone who would be
a fan of "Supernatural." So it's really
cool to have a voice on the show that
you love that you can identify with.
And she's a real person. She's got
so many layers. And she has become
a part of the guys' world which I
think is fantastic. Plus, they give me
really cool t-shirts to wear.
Will we ever get to find out Charlie's
real first name?
I hope that people are able to at one
point, but t can't reveal anything. I
think the essence of Charlie has
been revealed in "Pac-Man Fever."
The reason why she doesn't use her
real name, all these different things
were revealed in that and that's why I
think this one is a fun episode. She
is herself completely, and she can be
completely comfortable with the guys
in a way that she has never been
comfortable with anyone before
because she's been living a lie for so
long. So that is touching. And I love
that there are a couple of scenes in
the episode between her and Dean,
and her and Sam, that really solidify
that.
What are you most excited for fans
to see in "Slumber Party?"
There's definitely an interesting
moment that happens halfway
through the episode that I think will
get a strong reaction. And then at the
end of the episode, the very end,
there is actually a very interesting
choice that Charlie has to make. I'm
really interested to see how Charlie
reacts to that and I think that people
are going to have really strong
opinions about it, too.
If you had to pick, out of all the
episodes of "Supernatural" that you
have guest-starred on, which one is
your favorite?
That's a hard question because there
is not even one single scene that
didn't seem special. Everything has
been so special. And to see Charlie
grow from a character that didn't
necessarily need to come back, I've
just been so honored and excited to
be able to play her over and over.
They always find amazing things for
me to do. "Pac-Man Fever" obviously
had an emotional core that I don't
think can be beat. So many layers
were peeled back from her character.
But "Oz" was super fun, and then in
the "LARP" episode I got to wear a
LARP outfit, and the first episode I
got to dance in an elevator. There are
fantastic moments in each episode
so I can't say that I have a favorite,
necessarily, although "Pac-Man
Fever" had a depth to it that you
can't beat.
