It's the beginning of the end for Supernatural.
《邪恶力量》的结局要开始了。
The show, the last remaining series from The WB era, will sign off after 15 seasons sometime next year.
这部剧是WB电视台时代剩下的最后一部剧,明年的第15季之后即将完结。
The decision to end the series wasn't an easy one for anyone involved, and it only came after a long conversation with stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, who've carried the show on their backs for longer than some high school students have even been alive.
对于任何参与的人来说,这个决定都很不容易。决定是在与贾里德·帕达里克和詹森·阿克斯讨论很久之后做下的。他们两人扛起这部剧的时间比某些高中生的岁数都要长。
"Jared, Jensen, Peter Roth of Warner Bros., and myself had a very, very long sad, heartbreaking discussion, and we all came to understand what the guys want to do.
“贾里德、詹森、华纳兄弟的彼得·罗斯,以及我自己都进行了非常非常漫长和悲伤的心碎讨论。我们都逐渐理解了这些家伙想干什么。”
"They wanted to go out still relevant. They wanted to go be with their families. They wanted to go see what else was in the world," CW boss Mark Pedowitz said of the conversation. "I [have] said this many times, when they were ready to stop, we would stop."
“他们希望出去的时候仍然有意义。他们想和家人在一起。他们想去看看世界上还有些什么。”CW电视台老板马克·佩德维茨评论这次对话,“我说(过)很多次,他们想停止的时候,我们就停止。”
Well, it's 2019 and the boys want to stop.
嗯,现在是2019年,这些男孩想停止了。
"It hasn't grown old. That's not why we're entering into the final season,"said Ackles. "I certainly don't want it to ever grow old, which might be why we want it to do before it does get [to that point]. It's a very special thing to me. I want it to end in a way that does justice to what we've built for the past 14-and-a-half years. I think right now the game plan that we have is going to do just that."
“这部剧还没过气。这也不是我们进入最终季的原因。”阿克斯说。“我当然不希望这部剧过气,这也可能是我们想让它在过气之前完结的原因。这对我来说是很特别的事情。我希望它能以这样的方式完结,对得起我们过去14年半建立起来的东西。我认为我们现有的策略就能实现这些。”
So, what exactly is that game plan?
所以,策略到底是什么呢?
It feels like the only way for the show to possibly, truly end is with Sam and Dean dead and buried, this time for good.
似乎这部剧可能的、真正的结局只能是山姆和迪恩死去然后下葬,这次是永远死去。
But considering they (and a number of other beloved characters) have escaped death's grip so many times now that there is a running joke on set that no one ever stays dead on Supernatural, how can that possibly be the end of the series?
但是考虑到他们(以及其他很多人气角色)多次逃脱了死亡的魔爪,在片场上有一个流传的笑话,那就是在《邪恶力量》里,没有人会永久死去。那么死亡怎么可以成为这个系列的大结局呢?
Dabb said the difference is that this time they're actually looking at Season 15 as a "true ending," even teasing that the machinations and everything the boys have used over the years to survive at all costs will finally go away.
达布说,不同的是,这次他们实际上把第15季看做“真正的结局”,甚至揶揄道,这些年来男孩们不计一切代价用来活下去的阴谋和道具最后都会消失。”
"They're going to be facing life or death — they face it a lot, but this time it's for real," he said.
“他们将面对生或死--他们面对过很多次了,但这次,是来真的。”他说。
