s01e12 -- "Faith"

[bonniehooper]

SUPERNATURAL REWATCH, 1x12: "Faith"

-Recaps back. Wonder why they didn't have it before "Scarecrow"?

-What even is this thing? Do they ever tell us?

-A heart attack? Jesus.

-I mean, with everything they see it's no wonder Sam wants to find some cure for Dean.

-Seriously John? Of all the times for you to answer the boys this would be the time!!

-Dean: "You're not gonna let me die in peace, are you?" Sam: "I'm not gonna let you die, period." Ah, another trend of the show.

-Even when he's dying, Dean's gonna flirt and be a bit pervy. xD

-And here we go with Dean's first interaction with Reapers.

-I mean, I get Layla's mom's anger, but it's not fair to take it out on Dean.

-Layla's Mom: "Why do you deserve to live more than my daughter?" Wow......Jesus......that's not gonna help Dean feel any better about being saved.

-Dean hearing that someone died so that he could live right after that interaction with Layla's mom.......yeah, the guilt is so real.

-"Don't Fear the Reaper" playing while a Reaper kills a woman was just such a perfect use of a song.

-Why is it always rainy and gross out during every sermon?

-The minute Roy says Layla's name, I know Dean felt conflicted about what to do.

-God, I know stopping Roy from healing Layla killed Dean.

-Dean: "You deserve it a lot more than me." Oh, Dean!

-Dean: "May God save us from half the people who think they're doing God's work." AMEN!!

-No, you are just crazy as all hell, lady.

-Honestly, the Reaper going after Sueanne and killing her is justice. I mean, what the fuck did she think would happen by keeping a Reaper basically as a pet to do her bidding?

-I think it was Layla's mom driving her to want this and once she realized she wouldn't be healed by Roy, I feel like Layla could accept her fate better.

What is up with all these changes in Supernatural?

Season 1 episode 12 of Supernatural, "Faith". It was one of my favorites of the season, made such an impact in me that even 14+ years later I could vividly recall most details: the muddy ground around the white tent where Roy heals people, Dean flirting with a sweet blonde woman, an awesome scene where Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear The Reaper plays in the background while a girl tries to run away from her death and a character, whose name I don't recall, who had severe burn scars and was one of the villains of the week.

I see the muddy ground and the flirting and I brace myself for the Don't Fear The Reaper scene. It isn't there. They replaced it with some other music. Okay. I've seen this happen before with episode 6 "Skin" (the original song in the beggining of the episode was In a Gadda da Vida by Iron Butterfly), so I just go over to YouTube and watch the original scene.

Then I keep expecting the villain with the scars to be introduced, already confused as to why It's taking so long, and then it hits me: we are 15 minutes away from the end of the episode. There is no such villain, they completely edited out a character -- an important one -- from the episode.

I tried to find out why but I can't remember the character's name and neither he or the actor are mentioned in the episode datasheets I found. It's like the character never really existed.

Now, does anyone remember this character or knows why they changed this? Or was the character never real, just a fabrication of my mind? Or perhaps the character appears in a different episode and I'm just mixing them up?

If you know something pls let me know, It's silly but this is actually really bugging me

Ok thank yoou!! If anyone read this, have a nice day ✨

I’m watching Supernatural for the first time… I’m going to start season 15 soon…

I have a vague idea of how the show ends, and I remember how upset the fandom was 4 years ago, so I’m trying to avoid feeling sad. Please help!

Or maybe I just stop watching the final episode 30 minutes in and call it a day 😌

See some other SPN polls I made here:

Light Yagami / A Quiet Place / Carrie / Psycho / The Ring / Carrie / Psycho / Alien / The Shining / Mean Girls / Hocus Pocus / Rocky Horror / Midsomer / IT / Planet of the Apes / Jurassic World / Attack on Titan / White Chicks /

[eggybug]

guess what time it is! its end of season 4 thoughts time!!!!

they are going to be a lot more insane and outta order than in the past

1. the entire season they were yelling at us that lilith was the final seal and it pissed me off jfc

2. i forgot what it was like to lowkey hate sam, i hate it.

3. so cas was in love the whole time, right? RIGHT. like i know ive been ranting about it all season but are you KIDDING me

4. ruby is a bitch and i hate her so bad. but she was in it for the long game thats for damn sure

5. im REALLY not looking forward to the whole "sam gets haunted by lucifer" bit

6. i love cas, i really do, but he looked right in deans eyes, knew that he was doing this shit to him, and did it anyway. like he was probably tortured by the legions of heaven, but goddamn it

7. when i start making cain and abel comparisons all next season, i don't wanna hear shit about it. itll be my bout of insanity and i apologize in advance

8. i fuckin LOVE bobby

9. no body liked john winchester, they loved him, but they hated the son of a bitch

10. i never got to the point where chuck became TRULY the worst guy ever, but i know we as a fandom hate him, so i hate him.

11. i think demons eat babies and i don't know how i feel about that

12. i don't know who i hate more, uriel or zachariah. maybe im glad cas killed all the angels

13. like i get it but HOW did it take dean so long to realize heaven wanted the war too. they disappeared for weeks while lilith was breaking seals like a bull in a damn china shop

14. they keep doing that thing where one of the capital A angels does something shameful to dean, or dean questions his faith in the "Plan" and the camera cuts to cas looking like a sad puppy

15. ik ive said it 1000 times but goddamn those stupid lil boys need therapy

16. GABRIEL WAS TRYING TO WARN THEM, HE WAS TRYING AND HE COULDNT. THEY COULD NEVER MAKE ME HATE YOU GABEY!

17. hey, in the last episode they killed a bunch of nuns, which like damn

18. back to sam, his dumbass really fell for the devil on his shoulder bit jfc

19. like i understand camera work, but two straight men don't stand that close to have a conversation. they just don't.

20. hey sammy, you throw a lady in a trunk, you stop being the good guy

21. at any point did they just consider... not doing that. maybe perhaps, waiting a week?

22. there was a thing with the mirrors and zachariah in the last ep, wasn't there? like that wasn't unintentional. mirrors are notoriously terrible to work with, that can't be unintentional.

23. i love that biblical fanfiction always somehow ends with an angel, a demon, and a human coming together to stop heaven and hell playing out a war on earth.

24. spn just proved you can't leave a bunch of corporate assholes in charge of a planet.

26. im really not looking forward to sam whining about starting the apocalypse for a whole season.

27. dean fighting tooth and nail for cas to see the truth in humanity. to find faith outside of heaven. cas seeing that and it breaking his morale a little bit more and more every time. cas repeatedly seeing dean, perfect vessel, perfect soldier, dean be willing to lose the promise of heaven, of peace for his little bit of humanity. it broke cas. and dean keeps begging cas to see it too. and they're going to drive. me. INSANE.

28. "we're done" those were the exact words dean said to cas.

29. so cas and dean can talk without saying anything, and i hate to say that means they're in love... but thats exactly what that means.

30. cas did it! he broke his faith, he sacrificed himself for dean. and now they're gonna kiss (ik they don't kiss but a boy can dream)

31. have i mentioned that sam pisses me the FUCK off! like yeah i blame ruby but goddamn.

32. this season was hell in a handbasket, jfc (no ounce intended)

omg! season for is done!! woooo! onto the most annoying and lowkey painful season ever! my takes and thoughts for season 5 are going to be annoying, so be prepared !

[iron-parkr]

Well brunch didn't end up happening because my friend's brother had to go to the hospital :(

But! I did go to B&N and I finished outlining Prisoner of Azkaban for Aquila and Gracie's fic and just finished Chapter 11 of my SPN fic!!!

Posting this to keep myself accountable: I’m going to brunch tomorrow with a friend, and then I’m planning to do some writing at Barnes & Noble (or the library, haven’t decided yet). If I don’t post a snippet for y’all, you have permission to throw tomatoes at me

[ardentpoop]

which spn episodes make u the happiest

see my list of ultimate favorite episodes for 12 eps that I can’t watch without feeling like I stuck my finger in an electrical socket cartoon-style. happy? horny? distressed? for some on this list it’s all three.

see also:

s1 scarecrow

s2 tall tales (peak early-seasons husbandwife-ification)

s4 it’s a terrible life (sam wesson)

s5 the curious case of dean winchester (old!dean makes me sweat)

s6 two and a half men (the original baby episode. cinema)

s7 shut up, dr. phil (samndean loudly paralleled with insane het couple incident number 200. scene where they’re trying to diffuse the tension btwn the couple and their own relationship issues are surfacing. yay!)

s7 slash fiction (leviathan!samndean funny)

s7 the mentalists (this one is an odd choice because it features dean being a dickhead bastard motherfucker about the amy situation. however I enjoy when sam’s giving dean the cold shoulder because of some evil shit he did and he has to wriggle uncomfortably abt it for a while. also a genuinely very funny episode otherwise.)

s8 blood brother

s8 taxi driver (I just think sam on a quest + sam and benny meet in purgatory + samndean passionate embrace in the woods….)

s8 pac-man fever (I just think samndean passionate embrace in the war room after charlie talks to dean about her dying mother….)

s8 the great escapist

s8 sacrifice

s9 I think I’m gonna like it here

s9 sharp teeth + s9 the purge specifically for sam’s perspective on the gadreel situation. essential pieces of samndean dialogue. I was clapping and cheering for sam so loudly.

s9 blade runners for sam as the colette to dean’s cain. also crowley pathetically nipping at sam’s ankles.

s9 alex annie alexis ann (I just really like alex and her mother. the samness that this has.)

s10 soul survivor (I had so much fun with this episode when it originally aired and I still look back on it fondly. and dean chasing sam through the bunker with a hammer will never not be cute and evocative.)

s10 ask jeeves (s10 sam being fondled by milfs dot com)

s10 the executioner’s song (I just think dean wrestling with cain who explains to him the events that will lead to him murdering his beloved baby brother. also dean falling into sam’s arms after he’s murdered The Father Of Murder and staring brokenly into nothing over sam’s shoulder. very cutesie.)

s10 the werther project for samrowena reasons and also dean stalking sam reasons.

s10 angel heart for tfw bad-parenting shenanigans. also cas and claire to dean “I’m going with you!” to which dean huffily asks sam “you wanna get in on this [too]?”

s11 just my imagination

s11 into the mystic

s11 red meat

s11 the chitters

s12 ladies drink free (sam and claire)

s12 the memory remains. goat man :)

s12 twigs & twine & tasha banes (super underrated)

s13 episodes 1 through 4 for absolutely impeccable samndean and jack. the strongest opening to any season since s4 To Me.

s13 the bad place for kaia intro, kaia & jack, sam & jack.

s15 the rupture for samrowena

s15 golden time for sameileen, samrowena, witch sisters. yuri episode.

s15 unity (iykyk)

[jawritter]

Carry On Masterlist

Summary: It was just a simple hunt, found on a pie festival. It was supposed to be easy. Something they’d all done one hundred and one times a million. No one could have told Y/N, Dean, and Sam that nothing from that point on would ever be the same again.

Warnings: Heavy, HEAVY TW: Dean’s final episode of SPN. (Season 15x20 spoilers). Graphic injury. Me botching medical jargon, A lot of pain, blood, and hospital type atmosphere. Injured Dean Winchester. Depression. PTSD. Angst. Some fluff. Eventual Smut. (Each chapter will be warned and have their own warnings to the best of my abilities.)

Due to the graphic nature of this fic, and the fact that it will eventually contain Smut. This fic is an 18 + only fic! If you’re under 18 DO NOT read this fic! 

A/N: This fic is beta’d by @kazsrm67 Thanks so much love! Please do not copy my work! Feedback is golden! I hope you all enjoy this ride with me!

[charcubed]

Hi. I tend to forget that tumblr exists and just shout all my thoughts about The Winchesters on Twitter @CharCubed, which is a problem, but for once in my life I'm posting something here!

Here are some broad Thoughts on where I've landed of what this season 1 finale of The Winchesters offered–

• I very much want season 2 of this show SO badly. I want to see how they all continue to build their lives now that we know tragedy need not be their end! THIS IS THE HEALING SHOW. That whole cast gets to write their own story... "the only thing that's worse than how it starts for a hunter is how it ends" is no longer the case, as Carlos already said... and Dean helped to free them? That fucks.

• In regards to those possibilities: now that Dean would no longer be framing the prequel as a story he's telling, it frees the prequel up to no longer be doubling as Dean's story through revealing mirroring–which is very much what it's been doing for 12 episodes. Now the monster plots and the storylines for those characters in The Winchesters can also be diversified, so every episode no longer has to include, for example... [checks notes] a situation where a character is literally and/or metaphorically trapped and has to confront their trauma, break cycles of violence, and speak truths to be freed. It's been very Loud and very much Like This Constantly because it's Dean's story, but now it won't have to be anymore, which is an interesting thing to contemplate! (To be clear, for those unaware of my history of yelling about this show: I love that it was Like This. This show is fucking genius.)

• Initially, this finale had some alarm bells pinging in my brain but then I parsed the Reasons for those things. Mary told John she had "Something to say," right? And then she never says it. That's a Chekhov's gun that's never fired and it's of course paralleling how Dean has "something to say" to Cas too. Them not speaking that truth is a problem. In addition, we also got a montage eerily akin to the 15x19 one. But these callbacks / parallels to s15 all loudly indicate something very specific: The Winchesters is an unfinished story, and this finale (like the rest of this show) is mirroring and revealing truths about the prime narrative of SPN. For one thing, with the prequel they originally expected to have 22 or so episodes and ended up having 13 to work with. For another... this is the START of their story, not the end. So along those lines, what can we deduce about the end of season 15? (Hint: that finale is not an ending either.)

• Speaking of which: We learn that everything Dean was just doing takes place in the ~heavenly~ time period before Sam “dies." This all functionally happened right after Dean died as he drove down that road. He is restless, unmoored, grieving, and–this is key–considers his "ending" to be an unhappy happy one. He's fucking around and finding out, looking for and unpacking (through his narration) what he needs and wants for HIS happy ending to look like. He found out about the Akrida being a failsafe from Chuck and couldn't resist meddling to save everyone. It's also worth noting that Dean says to Jack something like, "If you have to kick me out of Heaven then that's fine." Between the lines is the thought of "please kick me out of Heaven, I'm causing problems because I'm grieving and I'm not done, I don't want this 'peace' but would rather have freedom." That in itself is a massive subversion of the SPN finale, to say nothing of the previous 12 episodes we've received.

Anyway. So in terms of Dean's story, we now know that this all takes place smack in the middle of 15x20 timeline-wise. This checks out because Bobby's presence connects to him being the only one we saw in 15x20. And... what I personally consider to be Jack's incredibly fucked up or ~potentially taken over by Chuck~ vibes are, in that sense, consistent with 15x19 as well. (I'm so sorry but please let me drop this cursed "Alex Calvert playing Chuck" joke by Jensen from August 2022 which haunts me.)

So: nothing about the concept that @chuckwon at the end of season 15 has been confirmed or denied in canon at this point. The idea that Chuck LOST, as Dean says here, is simply what Dean may still be thinking (which makes sense). But nothing has fundamentally changed about the state of how season 15 left things in the prime narrative yet... largely because that's not what this story is / was about.

In terms of what this finale presented to us, I think "Chuck won" potential was all deliberately left open. And I continue to Call Bullshit on the finale accordingly. A Chuck won plot line COULD be used in a future sequel to great affect, or it could NOT be used in a future sequel. That will be totally up to the future authors / team behind that potential sequel to see what story they choose to tell, and where it all may or may not go. But until then (on that front) right now it's the same shit, different show, and deliberately literally nothing about that potential has changed.

• I LOVE all of the above now that I've parsed it all in my brain. It makes perfect sense. Much like we were never going see the gay angel pop up in this show and kiss Dean (with apologies to anyone who somehow thought otherwise?)... leaving other things open like this is fantastic and the objectively correct call. Dean's story is HIS story to be furthered elsewhere, whereas this show belonged and continues to belong to its cast of characters who must take center stage. But through this story within a story narrated by Dean himself, we learned a hell of a lot about his state of mind as it actively stands in 15x20. Or more accurately: the entire show reinforces and reiterates comprehensively and repeatedly that the SPN finale was wrong and bad and not the end of the story at all, and now canonically and openly and in no uncertain terms that that's how Dean feels too.

• AND THUS: season 1 of The Winchesters works as deeply clever and layered commentary on Supernatural's ending and presents the stepping stone for a sequel continuation for Dean and his family. It's also the beginning of a new chapter with endless potential for The Winchesters' cast of characters who are not tied to fate or main timeline.

I fucking love it here.

Truly, madly, deeply: ALL HAIL ROBBIE THOMPSON.

And seriously, I really hope we get a season 2 because I adore all of the prequel's characters on their own merit and I want to see what their story can become :')

But, I learned early on, also, that, um.. as the only two actors.. on.. the, uh, set normally, unless we have, obviously, one of our reoccurring guest stars or one of our, um, (throws up a hand) temporary guest stars, that we need to team up a lot more than we need to.. work against each other.

But, to have to keep on.. getting in the mindset of somebody who’s watching your brother and best friend die- Because if you don’t find the truth.. in the character and you don’t find the truth in the moment, then there’s no use in you really acting it. You’re just being lazy.

So, I tried to really commit to it. But, it’s really hard. You’re like, you know what you’re gonna shoot and you’re like, “I don’t wanna shoot that. (short whine) I don’t wanna pretend he’s dying, ‘cause then I’m gonna get sad.” And you’re walking around all sad. (audience chuckles and aw’s)

Jared: Oow! (leans back and looks around confused) (audience claps and cheers) (shakes hand) I’m just totally kidding. (audience chuckles)

Fan: And then you went to Sam Wincheser (Jared: Oow! [feigns nonchalance]) on “Supernatural.” (audience laughs and cheers)

Jared: Who did that?

Fan: So, when you went on set, somebody would go, “Okay, Dean, you have to stand there.” Did you, like, go over or when you heard, “Dean” did you turn?

Jared: (nods) I absolutely did. (audience laughs) I absolutely did.

At first- Now everybody calls us Jared and Jensen, but at first (swipes hand) no one knew anybody? And so, it was Sam and Dean. It was, uhm, you know, “Sam’s over there. Dean’s over there.” (wiggles) And so I just start walking. And there I’d see Jensen like, “What are you doing?” (audience laughs) I’m like, “What are you doing?” (audience laughs) (points and leans back) Like, “Oh yeah. I’m just seeing how you’re doing, you know?” (audience laughs) And go over to my mark.

Fan: I’m Stephanie.

Jared: Nice. I’m Jared. (audience chuckles)

Fan: Um, what’s your favorite episode that you’ve filmed?

Jared: First off, that’s my favorite shirt. (audience cackles) (snorts)

My favorite episode I’ve filmed.. would be, uhm… (inhale) That’s a very good question. I’ve never really thought about that. I’ve thought about sort of stuff I’m either proud of or sad with.

But you know what? I- I always go back to the episode “Skin” where Sam and Dean fought. And it was a lot of fun. It was sort of.. the first time in the shooting of “Supernatural” that.. we.. did something so drastically different.

I mean, it was the seventh episode of the series so, um.. So, we were sort of doing the same thing. Huntin’- Hunting a monster and killing it, and then going home. Hunting a monster, killing it, going home. It was like, “You’re gonna fight your brother.” It was like, “Ooo.” I kind of like the, uh- I like the idea of it.

And, um.. I didn’t like that he won, (audience laughs) but I like that he then killed him.. after he won. Which, was kind of bizarre. But, it was a lot of fun to shoot (nods) that sequence.

So, (nods) I- I say “Skin”

Jared: I’m Jared. (audience chuckles)

Fan: Hi! My personal favorite episode was “Born Under a Bad Sign.” (audience screams)

Jared: (claps knee) No way. (nods) (off mic) Thank you. (nods) Thank you.

Fan: How much fun was that?

Jared: That was a lot of fun. I would actually say that, that.. ranks up there with “Skin.” Because, I got to be bad. And I like that. (nods) Yeah, that was a lot of fun, because Sam got to be tough. And I know he had a demon.. in him.. to make him tough, but (audience giggles) (smiles and shrugs) tough is still tough, right?

I was tired of kind of being like, (bobs back and forth with a thick accent) “Dean, come save me.” (audience laughs) So, um- And it was a lot of fun tah- You know what’s funny? Is that one of the things I liked about “Born Under a Bad Sign” is it pitted the brothers against each other again.

And, not like I’m.. It’s not some repressed thing, (shakes head) “I want to fight Jensen” or anything. (audience laughs) But, it’s just, I think it’s such an interesting story to tell. What would turn two brothers against each other? And of course, both times it’s been either a shapeshifter or a demon. And the brothers actually love each other. They just.. are fighting the demon version of the other.

But, um- eh, I think it’s such an interesting story to tell. And we get along so much, that it’s fun to fight, you know? (audience giggles) (nods and shrugs)

Uhm, you know, we were talking about planes at breakfast. And I’m not really scared of flying, unless I’m on the flight with somebody.. who’s a bad flyer. Um, and one time I was in the- I was sitting in the aisle (gestures to his right) and there was a girl sitting on the opposite side of me. She must have been eight or nine years old. And every time there was any turbulence or any noise or anything, she’d go like this (mimics jerking and gripping the arms of a plane chair) (audience laughs and aw’s)

Fan: (chuckles) Hi, Jared. Um.. I was kind of wondering, not to be pessimistic, but, like was-

Jared: What’s you’re name?

Fan: Lindsay. Hi.

Jared: Hi, Lindsay.

Fan: Hi. Um, when Supernatural’s over, what are you going to miss the most about.. playing Sam Winchester or.. the entire experience? Because I know you’ve said (Jared nods) that everybody is really close-knit. And everybody has said that.. (Jared nods) yesterday. So, you know, what is- what are you gonna miss the most?

Jared: Um.. I know from sort of.. I guess (squints and shrugs) from kind of experience, like I sort of dealt with this during the strike. ‘Cause, you know, we didn’t know if it was over or not. So, I sort of started missing things about the show, ‘cause we didn’t know if we were coming back.

And I missed the comradery. I missed the comradery that.. this show.. breeds. (gestures around) Like, even between.. us sitting here today. Um.. from the producers and the writers and the people who are making the show, to everybody who works in the cast and crew, to everybody who keeps this show going, there’s such a family aspect to it.

And I’ve worked on some great sh- Like, “Gilmore Girls”? I had a great time. I got along with everybody. I made buddies. I just ran into Milo a week ago, and it was like old times. But, um- But.. this (taps his knee) has been such a family. Like, (gestures to the crowd) I’ve seen so many faces. And got so much support that I feel like from the support of the fans of this show alone I could (flings hand up) go for the rest of my career and not.. get anymore support and be fine, ‘cause I know that people (nods) have been so supportive.

So, I’d have to say.. the.. just general comradery and brotherhood and family that “Supernatural” has built. (shrugs and nods)

(gestures to crowd) That we’re all part of. (audience claps and cheers) So, thank you guys. (claps)

Jared: And I am, uh- I’m happy to say that I did draw.. and paint.. and I am awful. (audience laughs) (shakes head) Awful.

I have so much respect for you, for people that can.. create with (mimics vague arting) things. (audience laughs) Because I tried to draw a tree.. (shrugs) and.. (shrugs) could’ve been a blob. (audience chuckles) I called it a tree.

Um.. but I-I- I have a great doing it. I wish it was a talent. It seems like a great way to, uh- to enjoy nature. I-I go jogging in Stanley Park up in Vancouver and I see people sitting down sketching.

Um, Sandy and I were at a museum over the.. holidays? And people were sitting down sketching sculptures. And I was like, “That’s so much cooler than taking a picture.” (audience laughs) Like, “Here’s my picture.” (smugly wiggles) “Here’s my drawing.” (mimics holding up and out art) (audience laughs)

◘Jared Padalecki at EyeCon 5 by sarahmonious◘

Jared: It took a while. Um.. not as long as you would think. (holds up a finger) But, since he’s not here, (points off to his right) I’m going to completely blame it on Jensen. (audience laughs) And I’m going.. (points at crowd) into detail. (audience laughs)

Um.. there was a line. I can’t remember exactly what the line is. It’s “Sam Winchester wears make up. Sam Winchester cries.. (turns his head and says quietly off mic) his way through sex.” Um. (laughs) (audience laughs) (squints and looks around) Eh- “And every morning when he-“

..Okay, it was something like.. the- the line where I say- (gestures) Or we say, “And every morning when he wakes up he- (waves hand up) Okay enough!” He would.. do it too early. He’d say, “Every morning when he wake up- wakes up- (waves hand up) Okay! Enough!” And I’d be like, “You’re supposed to say he!” (audience laughs)

And then so- and then.. I wouldn’t say “he,” because I figured (gestures) he wasn’t gonna say it. (gestures) And then he’d say it. (audience laughs) And I was like, (throws hand out) “Well, what are we doing?!” (audience giggles) You know?

But, he’d- he’d like skip a line. But, we had done it, um- We ride together to work, um, every day. We get picked up and go to work. And so, we have about thirty to forty-five minutes in the beginning of the day to go through our lines and think of ideas and to (back and forth gesture) run through cool moments or what we’re gonna do.

◘EyeCon Jared Padalecki Q&A video 4 by Chrissy6299◘

So, we knew that day was going to be big. Because they wanted it to be.. (snaps fingers on a beat) you know, very crisp. And so, we just read the- I had him read it a bunch of times, because the idea is that Sam is mimicking.. Dean. And so, I wanted to know.. what he- how he would say it as Dean.

So, I just had him read it.. again, again, again, again. And I started.. kind of doing it silently as he was doing it. And I was like, (shrugs) “Alright, let’s try it.” And so we gave it a shot. But also right before that scene, uh, we sat in his trailer.. and just were going (rhythmic hand chop gesture) “Dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah.”

And then we sort of put our heads down and went straight to set.  And we’re like, (swipes hand and gets up) “Don’t talk to us.” (hand chop gesture) We’re like going, “We’re in the zone.” (audience laughs) And so, um- And then we got to set and he ruined it all anyways. (audience laughs) (sits back down)

But, uh, yeah. (nods) That was a lot of fun. That was- When I read that I was like, “That’s gonna be really fun to shoot.” And the only hard- The hardest part was not laughing, because everybody else was laughing. (audience giggles) And so- And it was sort of-

(sits up and holds up a finger) You know what, I also remember- This is weird. Uhm.. (laughs) eh- but as you’re doing it, you’re so surprised and happy that it worked.. that you sort of forget that you have another line coming. (audience laughs) So, (wiggles head) you’re going, 

“Uh, you don’t know everything.” “Yes, I do.” “Really?” “Yeah.” “..Sam Winchester wears make up.”

And then you’re like, (excited face) “We did it.” (audience laughs) And then you’re like, (rushes) “Oh yeah, Sam Winchester cries his way through sex.” (audience laughs) (blinks and jerks) “We did it again!” (audience laughs)

And so, you keep on getting excited that you’re doing it that you sort of think about how (pumps eyebrows) cool it was that (proud wiggle) you just talked at the same time. You’re like, “Yeah. We kick ass.” Kick butt. (grimaces) (audience laughs)

But, um, we ended up getting it on (laughs) camera. (flings hand up) So, I guess it worked. (laughs) Thanks.

Fan: Hi. (Jared: Hey.) My name’s Kevin from the UK. (Jared: Nice.) Uh, we’re way, way behind in the, uh, airings. I think we had the Christmas episode about two or three weeks ago.

Jared: Okay.

Fan: That was quite lighthearted in terms of, well, the mutilations and evil Santas. But, (audience and Jared chuckles) lately there’s quite a dark undertone. Do you enjoy doin’ the light hearted stuff more, like when you had the luck char- when you had the unlucky charm where you lost your shoe down the drain? (audience chuckles) That sort of stuff. (Jared: [off mic] Yeah.) Do you enjoy that mainly? Is that break up the whole dark tone of the whole series a little bit?

Jared: You know what? I enjoy it. I’ve never- And I’m (shakes head and hand swipes) totally not fishing here. (hand swipes) I’ve never thought I was funny. I’ve never been like, (mimics confidence) “Yeah.. I can.. get up there and act funny,” you know? I’ve always really liked drama. Um.. and so, it’s been a fun opportunity- That’s why they don’t give me a lot of funny stuff. They’re like, “He’s not funny. (laughs) Don’t give him funny stuff.”

But, anyways, I also- Sam’s such a serious character or has been and it’s such a dark show that it’s hard to really work in comedy, uh, seamlessly. Uh, and we’ve had a few funny episodes. Like we had, uh, one, uh, (points) that- that is a funny one where.. the bad, uh, rabbits foot, and, you know, the “Hell Hounds” episode and the “Tall Tales” episode.

But, um, I have a lot of fun doing it. And I think it’s pleasant to break up the, uh.. to break up the dark. (shrugs) I mean, someone.. someone famous.. said, um, “If you make ‘em laugh, then you can make ‘em cry.” You know? And it’s just the idea that you need the yin and the yang. It can’t just be, you know, “Here we are.. only gonna be dark and scared. And I’m going to be only scared for an hour.”

Like, I think, the writers want to laugh and be scared and cry. The audience wants tah laugh and be scared and, (shrugs) you know, scream and throw things at the- (shakes head) you know. (audience chuckles) So, you-you want to have everything. And I think… I think adding humor actually helps.. accentuate the dark side of the show. (shrugs and nods)

Good question. Thanks, man.. And thanks for.. coming from the UK. I don’t know if you’ve been here for a while, but-

Fan: Um, I- some of the episodes really sscare us, like, jumping out and everything. Do any of the episodes scared you?

Jared: Yes. Um, a lot of times.. when I’m really heavy in the show, um, it’s hard to be scared because you remember shooting and everything and you’re like, (waves hand and rolls eyes) “Oh yeah, here comes the scare.” But.. the- the one I can remember most recently that really scared me was, uh, “The Kid’s Are Alright” with the little (gestures to mouth) suckling kids. (audience giggles) Um, and the whole reflection thing.

That always scares me, (shakes and swipes hand) where the camera’s coming around (mimics camera pan) and you’re like, “There’s gonna be somebody behind him,” (audience giggles) you know? And you’re just going, “Ew, I can’t wait.” But then it breaks back and then they’re (gestures) behind them on the other side. And you’re like, (scrunches up body) “I wasn’t ready for that! (thumbs behind) I wanted him to be over there with the camera.” (audience giggles)

But, that really scared me. And their faces and.. yeah. When you see them through the mirror and the glass, that was kind of.. spooky. So, yeah, they do scare me.

Most of the times.. w-when I watch the show I’m like... being self-critical or like, “Oh, I wish I would have done that. I wish I would’ve done this.” But that show was really, uh, like De- a Dean episode, you know what I mean? It was all about his backstory with the kid. I think I had two days off. Um, which is (shrugs) ..(shakes head) you know, more than I’ve ever had. (audience chuckles) So, uh- so, I got to watch the show as an audience member. And I remember It scared me.

◘Jared Padalecki at Eyecon Q&A 4 by akmcreation◘

Um.. I always like the reoccurring.. (squints eyes) demons.. for some reason, because I feel like.. you know, usually if you’re writing demons that have to be killed off. But even from (counts on fingers) the demon that was Nicki Aycox in season one (audience claps and woo’s) (nods and gestures to the audience) that ended up becoming Sam. And season two for a little bit. (nods)

Yeah, because I think it started to give us an insight into what it is we’re going against. You know, we know ghosts are bad and wendigos are bad. And bugs are bad. (audience laughs) And so, you know- you know, kill those things.

But, um- But it’s really interesting trying to figure out- ‘cause I still like to watch it as an audience member whenever I can and trying to figure out what the writers are thinking. Like, I’m in the same boat as y’all guys. I’m going, “What are the writers doing? What are trying tah.. hint at in this episode that we’re going to see in three episodes and go ‘Ew, yeah. remember when this happened, blah, blah, blah?’?”

So, I like the reoccurring demons. (nods) ..And I guess (gestures to audience) Ruby’s been a really cool character because she’s- she’s revealed so much about.. Sam. And we’re going, “Wait a second, here’s this demon saying.. that, uh, that Sam was supposed to be the leader and, like, she’s trying tah get him to turn into.. (wobbles head) a demonoid?” (chuckles) (audience chuckles) Demoniod? Mandroid. Um, (audience laughs) (points into crowd) (a section cheers) (nods and laughs) Yes.

Jared: Oh, come on. (audience chuckles and aw’s) (jaw drops)

Fan: And we wanted to give them to you. So, can we.. give them to you?

Jared: Please do.

Fan: Okay.

Jared: That’s amazing. Yeah, see. My- (shakes head) My dog drawings look like my human drawings. (audience laughs) (jab points across) It’s like four legs (circle gesture) and a head (swipes hand) and a ear, (gets up) sometimes two.

Audience member: One ear. (laughs)

Jared steps down from the stage and waits for two fans to meet him with the drawings. The audience, looking at the art as it passes them, voices their amazement with the two works of both Sadie and Harley. Two fans hand over the two pieces one at a time to Jared.

Audience member: You gotta show that off Jared.

Jared: (off mic) Wow. (on mic) Look at this guys.

(fans return to their seats) So, it’s good to have my dogs with me. (audience yeahs and claps) Thanks guys. (returns on stage)

No one ever drew my dogs for me when I was on “Gilmore Girls”. (smiles) (audience laughs)

•(3:33 A, 0:06 T)- EyeA08JP;Q23- What if; choice classic film remake role and costars; Lawrence of Arabia, Johnny Depp

Fan: Um, but I have a question.

Jared: Sure.

Fan: Which is, um, if you could been in a remake of any classic film, which one would you be in and who would you like to have as your costars?

Jared: Oo. (audience oo’s)

Fan: Yeah.

Jared: (exhales) …Wow that’s a great, um, great, great, great question. I think.. mmost recently, um.. the classic film that I- I sort of watched, partially because I hadn’t seen it in a while and partially because.. I was working with him, was “Lawrence of Arabia” with Peter O’Toole.

And that- I watched it and it’s.. (shakes head) I mean, it’s a- a meal of a movie. It’s three- It’s two discs and three something hours, or four hours. And it’s never (hand swipe) boring and it’s (hand swipe) never slow. And I think his character.. L. Lawrence, you know, and- is- is.. so powerful and such a leader.

◘Jared at EyeCon 4 by Rachel◘

And it’s (sits up) exactly how Peter O’Toole is, by the way. He just walks in. He doesn’t.. (hand swipes) disrespect anybody, but he commands respect just the way he holds himself. And I think that’d be a lot of fun to shoot.

And then, my guest star would be, um, Jessica Biel. (audience chuckles) (shakes head) I’m just kidding. (waves hand) Totally kidding.

Umm. I have a lot of actors that I’d love to work with. Um, like, the Johnny Depps, obviously, and, um- (audience woos) Yeah. (nods) So, (flips hand up) I think if I could choose a guest star I’d- Johnny Depp. (audience woo) (nods) Mhm. Ow! (smiles) (audience claps and cheers)

•(5:01 A, 1:33 T, 0:38 R)- EyeA08JP;Q24a- Easiest nuance of Sam’s personality

Fan: Hey, Jared.

Jared: Hi.

Fan: Um, can you tell us a little bit about what the easiest aspect of Sam’s personality to tap into besides-

Jared: The looks. (Blue Steel impression) (fan and audience laugh) (giggles)

Fan: I was gonna say besides being a smarty pants? (audience laughs. Jared looks down and claps his mic) But. (smacks lips and chuckles)

Jared: Probably the smart in past tense.

Fan: And what is the hardest to, um, tap into because it’s so unlike you?

Jared: (off mic) (nods) Okay, um.. (on mic) the easiest is theee… Huh. (audience chuckles) (pumps eyebrows) That’s a great question.

◘Jared Padalecki at EyeCon 6 by sarahmonious◘

I think the easiest is probably (squints) he’s analytical mind? Uhm, like I’m definitely a… I don’t want to say I’m a thinker, because that makes me sound like, “I’m intelligent.” (audience chuckles) But, I mean, I- I like to think things out. (weighing gesture) I like to try and see it from different aspects and it was easy for me to, uhm- to, uhh.. (gestures) kind of get into that aspect of Sam’s character.

You know, seeing it from this angle instead of that angle. Instead of just the first angle, trying to play.. devil’s advocate. Like, I’ll find myself arguing with Sandy sometimes and saying something that (squints and shrugs) I don’t even think is true, (shrugs) but I’m just saying it to see where it goes, you know? (audience giggles)

And so, I think Sam has a little bit of that. Sam’s like, (holds hand out) “Wait, Dean. Like, what about this?” You know? “What if the demon’s good?” Even if Sam thinks the demon is bad, or knows that the demon is bad, he’s saying let’s think it out first.

•(6:18 A, 1:55 R, 0:50 S)- EyeA08JP;Q24b- Acting Challenges; Hardest nuance of Sam’s personality; 3x14

And the hardest part.. has been, um… The hardest part has beenn.. his willingness to.. sacrifice himself.. (audience chuckles) for, uh- for, uh, tah hunt ghosts. I mean, it’s-it’s hard tah.. It’s hard to tap into that in reality, you know? It’s hard to go like, “Oh yeah, that’s kind of how- like, how I like tah, you know, chase spirits.” (audience laughs) “Um, I’ll just tap into that part.”

So, anything to do with the supernatural has been very.. It’s-It was tough at first to find the reality, because you’re going, (sits up with chest puffed up) “Watch out for the wendigo,” you know? And you want to say it like, (imposing hero pose) “Dun-dah-duun.” But, um, (audience laughs) you have to remember that it’s real and that you’re very scared, but you know what it is. And so his knowledge of ghosts sometimes.

There’s a- there’s a scene that we just shot.. and I’m saying- and the girls saying, you know, “It said ‘Come to me.’” And I’m going, “What words.. did he use?” And she says, “Come to me like a million times.” And then it hits Sam like, “Oh it’s this.” And I’m like, (shrugs and Texas draw) “I don’t know what it is.”

But Sam knows his dad’s journal back and forth about all these demons. So, that’s been the toughest part. (smiles)

Where is it now? I see so.. many hands.

Jared: There are many causes that are close to my heart. I- I’m obviously- I-I’ve been very upfront about how I feel about rescuing dogs and.. just animal shelters in general. (audience claps and cheers) Yeah. (pats leg)

Sandy, I know is a fan of St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. (gestures) And that’s also another.. (flips hand up) (audience woos and claps) very worthy cause. Um, but, at least for me, I’ve always had a special soft spot for- for animals. (nods) (audience claps) (claps)

Jared nods.) and most of all of Wincest? (audience disapproval intensifies. Jared closes his eyes, smiles, and nods.) Because, Jared, Jensen has said a few things. We wanna know your opinion.

Jared: I’m obviously a little.. spooked by Wincest. Because I’m like, “Is that.. (scrunched face) Jensen!? Ahh!” (audience laughs) Um. (laughs)

But the fan-fiction and the RPG’s I think is- is sort of an aspect of what I was talking about earlier about how everybody’s.. (gestures) taking a part in, um- in “Supernatural.” And they’re not just (shakes head) watching it to, you know- I don’t see anybody writing.. episodes of “Grey’s Anatomy,” you know? Like, “And then the doctor will say this and use a scalpel.” But they become really passionate.. about the show.

And then I think, um- I think especially for the fans of “Supernatural” it’s great. It’s a great.. (expanding gesture) learning tool and (expanding gesture) exploring tool to explore this world. (shrugs and nods) So, I’m supportive. (nods and smiles) (audience claps and cheers) (pats mic)

Fan: My favorite is “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly”.

Jared: (nods) That’s my father’s favorite Western. (Fan: Yeah.) And that’s the Western that I-I sort of resort to if I’m talking about.. Westerns. That’s hard to beat. All the Sergio Leone.. um, Westerns are pretty incredible.

But, (nods) yeah, yeah. I’d have to agree with you on that.

Fan: What’s your favorite and what would you like to do? (?Star?) in a new one?

Jared: I’d say- I’ve- I’d totally say “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly,” (fan giggle) um, is my favorite, (holds up hand) not to just steal from you. But, that’s where originally got me, um, into Westerns. That’s my father’s.. second favorite movie. His favorite is “Ben-Hur.” (shrugs) (audience laughs and a woo) And his second favorite is “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly,” so he would watch it regularly.

And I’d- I’d sit down- At first when I was a kid I was like, (scrunched face) “I need more explosions,” you know? Like, “What’s with all this sand and stuff?” But, now as I’ve grown older and thought, “It’d be cool to be tough.” I’d definitely go with “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly”.

Jared: (chuckles) I- Thank you.

Fan: Um, but, I- she just wanted me to ask you that.

Jared: Yeah. (shakes head) No, I never- I’ve never known. That’s- that’s the God’s honest truth. I-I- When I was working with, um- It’s such a name drop, but when I was working with Peter O’Toole, who’s obviously an amazing, amazing actor, arguably the greatest of all time, he was saying he’s never, ever, ever, ever in his life done a line to a mirror. He’s saying never.

And I.. thought it and I was like, “Let’s see, eight Oscar nominations and he doesn’t care what he looks like.” He says, uh, “It should just come out through you and you shouldn’t.. be worried about what you look like doing it, because it’ll come across.” So, I just sort of try and- I read things like that. Like, I read things Daniel Day-Lewis writes and, you know, Johnny Depp writes or actors, eh- “Inside the Actors Studio” and I try and.. be like them. (smug face) So, I can say I’m like them. (audience giggles) So, I’m a lot like Peter O’Toole. (shrugs) (audience laughs and claps)

But, then when they tell you, “Oh yeah, next episode we’re gonna set you on fire.” You’re like, (leans forward laughing and hand swipes) “So, what’s going on next episode?” “We’re going to set you on fire.” (hand swipes) “Hah-hah-hah-hah.” (audience laughs)

So, uhm, that was definitely (laughs) kind of weird. So, I’d say being set on fire was probably the most uncomfortable thing (hand wave) I had to do for the show period. (shrugs) Because it’s.. fire. (audience laughs) (flips up hand and shrugs) Very simple, it’s not like, (flatten gesture) “Let’s keep it contained. It’s fire.” (flips up hand) It’s like putting a bear on set and going, (holds up hand) “Let’s hope he’s okay.” (audience laughs)

And plus! (gestures to audience) I mean, I have bad experience with fire. I wasn’t there on set, but during “House of Wax,” um, an errant fire burnt the stage down. So, you can’t control fire. (hands out gesture) And if you can then, (beckon gesture) we need it on set. (audience laughs) Um, so, (nods) I-I’d say that.

Where did it go?

Audience member: Right here.

•(3:48 RM, 3:27 R, 3:23 A, 4:38 ML, 0:02 T)- EyeA08JP;T8- Lag time

Fan: Hi, Jared.

Jared: Yes. Hi.

Fan: I’m Heather.

Jared: How are yah?

Fan: How are you? I’m good. How are you?

Jared: ..Good! (shrugs) I’m good. (audience laughs) I’m good.

Fan: Excellent! Great. Um-

Jared: It’s-It’s (winding gesture to his head) lag time. It’s the like.. (Fan: [laughs] I hear yah.) nine am, “What did she say?” (audience and fan chuckle)

•(4:00 RM, 3:39 R, 3:34 A, 4:50 ML, 0:14 T)- EyeA08JP;Q34a- Friday the 13th; Relation to prior canon

Fan: Um, I hear that you’re doing a “Friday the 13th”.

Jared: (nods) I am.

Fan: And, I’m just (audience claps and cheers) wondering… Um, is it- (Audience member: Don’t die!) is it kind of like a remake?

Jared: (to AM) I’ll try not.

Fan: Or, um.. is it like-

Jared: (nods) It’s a retelling. It’s more of a, um… I read that it was like, the difference between a prequel and a sequel and a midquel? (audience chuckles) I guess, it’s a midquel. It’s a- It’s a retelling of the story. (shakes head) It’s not a remake, um, of the original. Um, it’s-it’s sort of a whole new telling.

It’s almost more, like, another “Friday the 13th” movie then it is a remake of “Friday the 13th”.

•(4:32 RM, 4:11 R, 4:07 A, 5:22 ML, 0:47 T)- EyeA08JP;Q34b- Friday the 13th; unique hype factor

Fan: How are you gonna make it different so that we all, like, are excited about yet another (?forth?)-

Jared: Lots of faces.

Fan: Excellent! (audience laughs) Cool.

Jared: Lots of faces and (hand sweep) I’m just naked the whole time. (audience claps, cheers, and screams) (throw his hands up and laughs)

(points in the crowd) What’s up man? The king is in the building. (salutes)

Okay. Where’s the- where’s the next one? I-I lost track of it. (sits up) Oh, there you are.

•(4:54 RM, 4:33 R, 4:29 A, 1:08 T)- EyeA08JP;Q35a- thoughts on Dallas Cowboys rebranding; (cw: ableist language)

Fan: Okay, this is a dumb question, but back to the Dallas Cowboys, (Jared: Alright.) um, what do you think of them possibly changing the name to Irving Cowboys? Because, I’m from Texas and I think it’s retarded. (audience chuckles)

Jared: (shakes head) I don’t think- They better not. They’ve always been-

Fan: I think because-

Jared: They’ve never been in Dallas. They’ve always been in Irving.

Fan: Yeah. It’s always been Irving.

Jared: So, even with the stadium.

Fan: Yeah. Well, no they’re going to change it to Arlington Cowboys.

Jared: (scrunches face) Oh, really?

Fan: Like, how ‘bout them Arlington Cowboys. It just sounds retarded to me.

Jared: (shakes head) Yeah. (audience giggles)

Fan: I just wondered what you thought about that (giggles).

Jared: Plus, I don’t know how to spell Arlington, so. Dallas is so much easier. I-I- I think they better not. I don’t think they will, but I think they better not.

Fan: Hey. ..Yesterday I had a total fangirl moment with Sandra on stage. (Jared: (off mic) [smiles] Yeah.) She smiled and I forgot my question. (audience laughs)

Jared: I can do that. (sits back and gives an exaggerated grin) (audience laughs, cheers, and claps) (wobbles head, flutters his eyelashes, and in a falsetto) “Heh-heh-heh.” (audience laughs) (laughs)

Fan: I really hope she kicks you in the shins for that one. Um. (laughs)

Jared: (to audience) She forgot her question. (audience chuckles) Sorry, guys.

•(5:50 A, 1:57 T, 0:34 R)- EyeA08JP;Q36- Fanboy moments; Peter O’Toole

Fan: Who is, like, the star that made you.. turn into a total fanboy? I mean-

Jared: Ah, good question.

Fan: I had my moment with (giggles) Sandy.

Jared: Um.. Uhh, the first time… would probably be.. (shakes head) I mean, the name keeps coming up, it would be Peter O’Toole. (shakes head) You know? I mean, you go, (open mouth) “Uhhhhhh.” (audience chuckles) “I’ve seen you in movies.” (laughs) (audience laughs)

There’s no proper way to be like.. you know- They’re saying, “Hi, Jared. Uh, this is Peter.” “No sh--," you know? (audience laughs) (chuckles) So, I-I-I say- I say that. And you just-

What’s terrible is I had to forget.. I was working with him.. in order tah function. So, after I was done working with him I was like, (wobbles) “I didn’t enjoy it. I was-” (audience chuckles) You know, you can’t think about that you’re acting opposite (shrugs) a legend. You have to just go, “I’m just acting opposite an actor.” And so.

But, I had total (shakes head) fanboy moment. Like, (scrunches up and giggles), “Can I get your picture,” you know. (audience laughs) (smiles)

(looks around) Where did it go?

◘Jared 9 - Florida Supernatural EyeCon 2008 by rsrvedMom◘

Jared: (shakes head) Better for me. Iii- (looks to his right) Less- less work, right?

Fan: So, I’m gonna tell you a little story. I think you’re aware that the props department up there sold John Winchester’s black truck.  

Jared: (leans back) I know. I know. (nods)

Fan: But. It went to a fan who lives down in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. She’s a friend of mine. (Jared tilts head and nods) I visited Truckzilla on my way over here.

Jared: (smiles) Nice!

Fan: He’s beautiful, he’s gorgeous. He went to a good home.

Jared: Is she taking care of him?

Fan: She’s taking beautiful care of him. (Jared: [shakes his head] Alright.) They’re gonna get- They’re gonna work on the engine. It’s like, the carburetor is, like, missing parts. They drove it 23,000 miles (Jared: [round nod] Oh yeah.) on only like five gallons.. a gas mile. (audience chuckles)

Jared: Dang.

Fan: But, it’s still staying in the “Supernatural” family and she’s sharing with us. She’s written a whole online account on LiveJournal. So, I just wanted you to know that John’s truck (Jared: Excellent.) is still in the family.

Jared: I’m very happy to hear that. When I- (audience claps)

Fan: And, he’s cared for and he’s loved. And he’s still around.

Jared: When I heard it got sold I was so sad. Jensen and I heard it at the same time and we were like, “..Whaaaat?” (audience giggles) But, um.. But as long as someone’s taking care of him.

Fan: He’s loved and.. He’s in the Supernatural family. He’s not lost.

Jared: (nods) Good. Tell her to keep care of him.

Fan: We will.

Jared: (smiles) Thank you. (looks to his right)

Jared: (shakes head) I-I-I truly- (to his right) That’s an easy, (holds up a finger) so we get one more. (nods) (audience chuckles) (to fan) Um, I have no idea. (laughs) (audience laughs)

I called Eric to ask him. He’s like, “Man, (shrugs) I don’t know.” (laughs) (audience laughs) So. I think they’re gonna do a lot of their writing this summer. Otherwise, I wish I’d know.

From what he said, it’s like something about Mary Winchester, so. (some audience woo and yes)

Fan: G’day mate. (giggles)

Jared: (holds hand up) G’day mate.

Fan: Um, actually I want to say that I was stumped when I heard your original voice, because I used to watch, uhm, “Supernatural” in the dubbed German version. (audience giggles) (Jared: [off mic] [nods] Alright.) And there you got the most, um, softer voice (Jared: Huh.) and a little bit higher-

◘Jared Padalecki at EyeCon 8 by sarahmonious◘

Jared: (to audience) Great! When they told me they were gonna dub me with a German I was like, “Sweet. I’m gonna sound tough.” (Fan: No, no, no. You- you- you-) Now, (gestures to fan) she’s telling me there’s a German girl does the voice. (audience laughs)

Fantastic. (high pitch) “Dean!” (audience laughs) Who did that?

Fan: No, not that high, but.. close to it, you know?

Jared: (nods) Okay. (less high pitch) “Dean!” (audience laughs)

Fan: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It be kind of soft, you know? And so, I was really like, “My god.” (audience cackles)

Jared: Yeah. (pumps eyebrows) Well.. (lowers pitch) I can talk a little lower if you want me to. (audience screams, claps, and laughs) (bends over laughing)  

That actually hurt my throat.. (audience laughs) to try. So much for acting tough.

Well, thank you.

Fan: And, uh, the question I had was, uh, when you were shooting at the Paramount Studios, to hunt down, like, the studio ghost, I cracked up when they came up with the “Gilmore” joke. Was it something the writers did or was it kind of your idea to put it in?

Jared: In the.. episode “Hollywood Babylon” where we visit the, uh, Warner Brother Studio to go visit the “Gilmore Girls” set, which is funny because we shot it in Vancouver, um, not where they shot “Gilmore Girls.” But it was totally o-our writers decision, um, (nods) to put in “Gilmore Girls” and have me go, “Uhhhhh.” (hand swipe) and, you know, take off.

Which is a fun little, (tossing gesture) you know, for people who don’t know “Gilmore Girls” or do know “Gilmore Girls.” Um, I find myself trying to lower now ‘cause.. (audience laughs) I’m trying to be really cool. (audience chuckles)

Um, (laughs) (Fan: Thank you.) So, it was the writers. (nods) Yeah.

Jared: (off mic) I change my mind. (Smith and audience laugh) (hands back the sharpie)

Smith: Thank you. Once again.

Jared waves and then turns to pick up his presents. The audience cheers and claps. Jared steps off stage and heads to the doors.

Jared: (off mic) I’ll see y’all guys soon. Bye (wiggles his fingers).

Jared leaves out the double doors with his entourage following him, signaling the end of the panel.

My ranking of SPN seasons (based only on their PLOT) pt. 3

In my previous posts (here and here) I've covered the following:

15: Season 14

14: Season 15

13: Season 7

12: Season 3

11: Season 6

10: Season 13

9: Season 12

8: Season 1

7: Season 10

Let's continue!

6. Season 9: The plot for this season runs on parallel tracks: on one hand we have the consequences of the spell that Metatron cast at the end of season 8 (ie: angels have fallen, chaos ensues); on the other hand, we have the heroes' quest, finding and killing Abbadon. These 2 parallel plots find their meeting point in the Mark of Cain: frustrated because he's unable to kill Abbadon AND because of his serious fallout with Sam, Dean gives in and accepts the curse. His choice will have immense consequences on the heaven-related plot: it will be revealed that Castiel, who was working to settle things out in heaven, will give up everything to save Dean. Plot-wise, this was a good season. Once again, I felt that the death of a secondary character (Kevin Tran, RIP my poor baby boy), was done for emotional sake and to aggravate the heroes' fallout. It felt unnecessary, cruel and, frankly, not well thought-out (but the writers have already made the same mistake with Bobby and will make it again with Charlie SO at this point I think that they know what they are doing, I simply don't agree with their writing choices). All in all, the season was quite good, it did its job. Can't complain.

5. Season 2: This season expands on the season 1 plot, so basically we are still dealing with the heroes' personal vendetta against the Yellow Eyes demon who killed their mother. However, this time we are presented with more allies and enemies, the Winchesters' backstory gets more complicated and we start to guess that there's more at stake for the two brothers. It's not just payback anymore: the plot starts to thicken and we glimpes that higher powers were pulling the strings all along. Mary Winchester's death was destined. It's a strong season that starts with John's death and almost ends with Sam's death but not quite: the last episode is able to keep us interested for what's to come as we find out that Dean has made a demon deal to save his brother. I didn't like some "minutiae", like the whole thing about other humans being infected with demon blood at 6 months old as a "back-up" plan in case Sam was not the One. Sorry but when Destiny enters the chat you either go all-in or not, there are no back-up plans. Also, it turns out that Sam is not exactly The One since he gets killed by the other guy whose name I forgot. Soooo, you know... this doesn't sound solid, you can tell that the whole thing is there to 1) fill in episodes; 2) give writers some space in case things don't go as planned. I don't know, I was kinda bummed about it, yeah.

4. Season 5: This might sound controversial but... I didn't exactly like season 5's ending. I know that, according to the majority of articles I've read, this is considered THE perfect SPN season but.. you know, it doesn't cut it for me. The plot is very good, though, so here's why it's still high on my own personal ranking. Once we've established that Sam and Dean are the destiny's children (LOL) and that their own existence was predestined, we are now left with the big IF. A sort of "will-they-won't-they". Will Dean say YES to Michael and become his vessel? Will Sam say YES to Lucifer? I like it, this is good and the plot is well-developed throughout the whole 20+ episodes. BUT, here's the BIG but. I hated, HATED, the "Adam becomes Michael's vessel so that Dean can safely say no and the plot can still go as planned" expedient. I truly hate this kind of things with a passion. First thing first, I detest writers when they introduce "disposable" characters such as Adam (and many others in the show, tbh). This is my own personal pet peeve so I can understand why other people are not as bothered by this as I am. Aside from that, as I've said before, once you introduce DESTINY in the plot you cannot have back-up plans. If you do, the whole concept is weakened and, as a refult, the plot feels cheap. We had established that Dean and Dean only could be Michael's vessel. However, SURPRISE! Adam, being his half-brother, can be a vessel, too! Yu-hoo, Apocalipse can still happen even if Dean says NO! Ma'am, please. No. It's also very sexist since it implies the father's blood is the predominant factor in this whole charade (Adam is John's Winchester third ((maybe, who really knows at this point??) son). This is a big NO for me. Since it's an intrinsic part of the plot I can't walk away from this.

[luxshine]

I have terrible news for the SPN Latam fandom, and I am saying this in English because I know you guys are interested in it too.

Unfortunately, today it was announced that Adrian Fogarty, who was the director of the Latam dubbing of Supernatural seasons 12 and 15 (And thus responsible for the "Y yo a ti" scene) died in the hospital due to health complications. There are no more details, and I don't want to bother the family asking for them, but he was only 54 years old.

Besides his work in Supernatural, Adrian was also the voice of Vince Vicente in the series, the original Tommy in Power Rangers, Aladdin in the TV series from Disney, Beavis in Beavis and Butthead, Cosgood Creeps in Scoobynatural, and was the translator for Chasing Amy, Death Note, Pirates of the Caribbean 1, Tarzan, some episodes of Bones, and others -including some uncredited episodes of Supernatural.

As I said, he'll be sorely missed, because he was always a light for everyone who knew him in person.

He's survived by his wife, Mara Constantini, two sons and a daughter.

PROPAGANDA

MARY WINCHESTER (SUPERNATURAL)

1.) in a series famous for fridging women she is THEEE og. fridged in the first five minutes of episode she might as well be in the freezer.

AND THEN. this sounds like some real stupid spn bullshit but. season 12. she gets defrosted. and its the smartest thing the writers ever did. does some rly fun things with the dissonance between s&d (mostly d)’s image of her and the actual real human person she was and is!!

ONE SEASON LATER: they stop trying to bother giving her a tangible personality or any interesting conflict (imo this was probably motivated by poor fan response to her; a big chunk of the fanbase were just as upset as dean was that she wasn’t the perfect mother they’d pictured. HOWEVER it is still canon. a canon that is easily swayed by fandom misogyny is also misogynistic ofc). they strip away complexity they’d set up in season 4/5 by saying umm actually things would be worse if she didnt make that morally complicated demon deal in her youth <3

TWO SEASONS LATER: still not giving her any personality. worse than just not doing anything else with her complicated relationship with motherhood at this point, it feels like theyve stripped her down to nothing BUT that. they shove her into a relationship with s&d’s other parental figure with literal sub-zero chemistry for no reason. and ummm guess what :) they kill her again!! back in the fridge for you, bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THREE SEASONS LATER: s&d find a spell that was explicitly invented with the intention of bringing her back and they just say like welllllll she seems like shes having a good time in heaven. i HAAAAAAAAATE THIS FUCKING SHOWWWWWWWWWWWW

ALSO: even if she doesnt get in i recommend checking out the photo. its rly good. samantha smith milf of all time forreal.

(my last supernatural submission. sorry for putting you through this bestie. i could go on but i dont think i should.)

2.) The first scene in the show is her getting brutally killed by a demon. It is what starts the events of the entire show, since she gets fridged for manpain. And then she gets resurrected in season 12 and is a really interesting character and then she gets fridged for manpain AGAIN

3.) Going for the Guinness world record in “number of times one show fridged the same mom,” SPN?

KONAN (NARUTO)

1.)

• She is taken in as a *child* by jiraiya and trained as a ninja. When jiraiya leaves his parting comment is that she'll be beautiful when she grows up & to come visit him when she's 18 (she's still a child at this point) 🤢

• Konan isn't given the chance to express her own opinions - she's shown to simply follow nagato's lead. 

• Unlike nagato, she isn't acknowledged as being naruto's ""sibling student"" for having the same teacher. Naruto isn't shown to care about this bond and is entirely unaffected by her death.

• Wrote out of the story & killed off immediately after Nagato's death for no reason. Doesn't get a chance to exist as an independent character even after she becomes the leader of her village.

• Naruto vows to bring peace to the rain village but never does or is even shown to think about it or her. (& in boruto the rain village is even shown to be in ruins)

• Konan puts her faith in naruto and vows that she and the village will support him in his quest for peace. Despite this she doesn't ever get to fight at his side during the war because she is immediately killed off.

• She also doesn't get to show up in the war as an opponent to naruto. Despite being a founding member of the akatsuki she isn't reanimated along with the others in the war.

• While her fight against tobi showcases her skill and preparedness it only exists as a reason to kill her off. Tobi only wins due to his plot armour.
