Here’s an embedded video from YouTube for next week’s Supernatural episode “99 Problems” in which Stargate star Michael Shanks will appear. Shanks has stated that his role of Rob wasn’t a significant one, but you might be able to catch a glimpse of him in the preview (which is kind of intense and does a lot of somewhat annoying flashing):
Supernatural plays on the CW on Thursdays at 9 PM ET/8 PM CT. Be looking for Shanks next week, April 8!
[spoiler intro=”Episode Summary”]“99 Problems” (April 8): MICHAEL SHANKS (“STARGATE SG-1,” “SMALLVILLE”) GUEST STARS AS A HUNTER – Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) are outnumbered by demons, but are saved at the last minute by Rob (guest star Michael Shanks) and his townspeople, who are aware of the Apocalypse, and have been training to fight and kill demons. The small town is very religious and Sam and Dean meet Pastor Gideon (guest star Larry Poindexter), who introduces them to his daughter Leah (guest star Kayla Mae Maloney.), whom he claims is a prophet. Leah tells the townspeople they must obey her orders if they want a spot in Heaven but when she starts turning the townspeople against each other in the name of the Lord, the brothers realize they must kill her. (Episode summary is from io9.)[/spoiler]
I can’t seem to catch a glimpse of Michael, but I’ll definitely be watching on Thursday!
I find it terribly hard to watch with all of its flickering and flashing.
