– Jared asked Jensen to perform his A Few Good Men speech.
– J2 had a free bourbon tasting last night.
– The boys were hoping to run into Misha’s assailants. Said ass kicking would ensue.
– They joke why didn’t the muggers go after Osric? They’d all have broken shoulders. Both obviously upset that Misha didn’t have a chance to defend himself and that it was 3 on 1.
– Jared has an awfully adorable Minnesota accent. Jensen said he sounds like a leprechaun, Jared does a silly dance lol.
– The Baby episode is all filmed in the Impala. With a butt cam (joking lol)
– We get to see the boys waking up in the Impala. Jared: Dean sleeps naked.
– Jared on the Baby ep: You see what Sam and Dean are doing on the way to these places.
– No characterization of Baby, more as if you were a fly in the backseat of the Impala – Jensen.
– Robbie (Thompson) decided it would be neat to see if we could not leave the car for 42 minutes. – Jensen
– Jensen: Dean is a part of me but a small part. But I play that up.
– Jensen tried not the show that switch (in Dean) in the s10 finale. It would have ruined the killing of death. Jensen says Sam’s pleading changed Dean’s mind in the season 10 finale, thinks moc!Dean was going to kill Sam before he changed his mind. The forgive me was for allowing this to happen in the first place.
– Basically, Jensen confirming that Dean made the conscious decision to kill Death after Sam got through to him.
– J2 say the fans have changed their lives, too.
– Excitement over pancakes??
– Boys are asked about pranking Richard when he directs. Jensen:Oh, he’s not directing an episode laughing It’s a pretty elaborate prank! Even the studio is in on it lol ;))
– Fans give the boys Always Keep Fighting bracelets. Jared blows kisses, Jensen: Presents!
– Boys thank the fans before wrapping up the gold panel.
there was a quite touching speech from a fan thanking both jared and jensen. jared asked for the copy of it and was super touched. <3 btw yesterday in R2M panel, Richard talked about how j2 messed with his phone and took pictures of themselves in compromising positions -- Main panel They discussed a dinner date thing they did w their wives and Jared had food on his face and Jensen was closest so he wiped it off There's a special relationship when you see someone more than your wife @JensenAckles @jarpad " Jared said he watched the Saved by the Bell movie and Jensen scooted his chair away and Jared scooted to move closer to him Jensen asks Jared which girl on Saved By the Bell he liked. Then asked his own question by saying Jared was a Slater guy. Pretty sure @JensenAckles just sang part of Volare, lol Jared would like to have been in The Departed. Jensen would remake Neverending Story and play Atreyu. Q: who is your favorite person to act with besides each other Jensen: Misha. I'm kidding Fight scene involving 3 people in the backseat of the impala. (Baby ep) Jensen asks Jared what season did you like Dean's hair the most. Jared says the ep where they played the Smiths Jared asks Jensen which season was his fav Sam hair style. Jensen says Gilmore Girls. .@JensenAckles: would have liked to spend more time in purgatory. That's an odd thing to say... Jensen: "My idea of a prank is letting the air out of your tires, Jared's is like 'I'm gonna choke you out.'" "I was looking fwd to directing until now. Wouldn't it be fun to have an ep w/o the boys?" @dicksp8jr What's ur fave line? "I lost my shoe." "Get out of my car." (from scene they just filmed, hope they use it) Questions about voice over work. J2 talk about how different it it. "After @dicksp8jr directs, we're going to have a long list of pranks that happened." - @jarpad Jared: "I don't think there will ever be a day that Supernatural goes on without Misha Collins." Jensen joined Louden Swain on stage for a hot minute. Video: https://instagram.com/p/6vagCgIxRy/ https://instagram.com/p/6vUY07i43c/ .@JensenAckles : we just filmed a fight scene in baby’s back seat. No, a FIGHT scene! @jarpad : grrr Gen is Jared’s rock. Jensen jokes that Danneel showed up. Question – what made you fall in love? they just got pins saying “jensen is perfection” and “jared is our thor” Asking about Cockles boat trip. JP: and we haven’t released the nudes yet! Crowd goes wild. Questioner flustered. LOL J2 holding their lips & imitating Misha’s fat lip. Jensen said Misha wasnt able to start the boat and Jensen knew he didn’t put it in neutral so Jensen started it “Misha stripped down and put some goggles on because we had crabs.” Fangasm Jared’s MG was first, with a new Creation chair arrangement of one big semi circle, with Jared’s chair in the middle. It definitely looked like he should be teaching a class, but is seemed to work well since everyone had a clear view of the gorgeous Mr. Padalecki. I’m not complaining. These are just a few tidbits, not verbatim, not a transcript, you know the drill. Someone asked Jared about doing those emotional scenes in Supernatural, and whether it was harder to get “into” them or out of them. Jared said it was easier to get into them. Jared: Me and Jensen, we aren’t lying when we play those scenes. I’m telling Sam’s truth. I get Sam. I love Sam. He’s a part of me. I can imagine that would make it easier to feel the character’s genuine emotions, but then there you are, really feeling it, when the director calls cut! Jared talked about getting some good advice from Peter O’Toole when he was filming with him. Jared shared that he’s an emotional guy, and he was emotional on set one day. O’Toole told him, “those are Tom’s tears. Don’t waste Jared’s.” He tries to apply that to Supernatural as well. To remember that those are Sam’s tears, and not to waste Jared’s. Another great question was about how Sam and Dean changed during Season 10. Jared said that they did change, just like Jared and Jensen themselves have changed, and that he likes the changes in Sam. The biggest change for Sam, Jared said, is his re-commitment to his brother. He also said that those changes are permanent, that they will continue in S11. Which made me want to jump up and down, but I refrained. Picking up the theme of change, someone asked how Jared and Jensen have changed each other? Jared said again that he’s an emotional guy, and that Jensen helps him by telling him at difficult times to “keep moving your feet.” It’s like “Always Keep Fighting.” And Jared, for his part, has changed Jensen, who has become more emotional – and Dean too. A fan asked about his favorite versions of Sam, and Jared joked that he’d played about 46 versions of Sam, and Jensen has only gotten to play a few versions of Dean. He liked playing demon blood Sam – for obvious reasons, but also because it was a bit of a power trip. There would be a bunch of huge stunt guys who could kick his ass in real life, but demon blood Sam would kick theirs (not in real life, but still). He also liked playing Soulless!Sam, who he played as very logical – sort of like a mathlete, which Jared actually was in high school. There was a little anecdote about the teen!Dean episode, and how it wasn’t actually scripted that Sam pulled the car seat back so his legs would fit. Jared actually did have trouble fitting in it! One of the fans was a paranormal investigator (listen up, Chad Lindberg!) and asked Jared if he believed. He told the date night ghost story that he’s told before, which never fails to give me goose bumps. He and Gen were on a date night at a historic old hotel in Austin. They noticed a light flickering in their room. Gen: That’s weird… Jared: Huh. Jared switched out the bulb with another light – then both started flickering! Later, Jared woke up to someone tugging on the sheets from behind – only to see Gen asleep in front of him. In true Winchester fashion, Jared calmly told the ghost that they were friendly and just trying to get some sleep, and then (somehow) went back to sleep. In the morning, they woke up to find the curtains, which they had carefully closed, wide open. And then they turned on the television (which was programmed to come on with Mario Lopez advertising the hotel or something) – and instead, what came on? Supernatural! Dean and Benny in Purgatory. (SDCC) I could see the moment Jared finally realized what was actually going on, so I was eager to hear from him how it impacted him. He said that he didn’t realize at first what was happening – it’s Comic Con, after all, and the world (and the networks) are watching you. When he was handed the note that explained the candles, he didn’t read it right away, thinking that it was something for later. It wasn’t until Richard said “you should read that” that he did, and then he realized. He still has his candle and the note. I asked him how he felt about it, about how sweeping and life changing the AKF campaign has become. Jared: As strange as this may sound, I felt like a father. Like AKF has taken on a life of its own. It’s not about me, it’s not about the show – it’s about understanding that you aren’t alone. Leaving the details private, one young woman broke down, almost unable to get the words out as she tried to tell Jared what he and the Show have meant to her. Jared got up from his chair in the front of the room and crossed over to where she sat right beside me. He got down on his knees and held her hand and told her how much he admired her courage and how glad he was that she was here. “You’re not alone,” he said. Hearing the sincerity in his voice and seeing the empathy he conveyed, I think she had to believe him – which was life changing all over again. I’m sure he conveyed the same to the two fans during the main panel, when both Jared and Jensen literally got down on the floor to reach out to them and let them know that they are not alone. Fangasm Jensen’s meet and greet was a bit lighter. [Vague spoilers] He talked a lot about the upcoming “Baby” episode, which I think fandom is collectively anticipating so much we’re all about to spontaneously combust. He mock complained about being in all the scenes, and then confided with all the glee of a little boy that at the end of an episode he put Baby away by doing a reverse 180 – and it only took him a few times to pull it off! (he said, beaming). He also talked about the three person fight scene that takes place in the back seat, which really makes me wonder how the hell they all fit back there, let alone had a fight! Apparently it was a challenge. In both meet and greets, a fan asked about filming that longed-for mythical Hawaii episode, which one of them said wouldn’t be much fun if they ended up filming it in Vancouver in the cold and had to stand around wet and shirtless and shivering. We all tried to convey great sympathy while picturing them wet and shirtless. Also, Jensen joked that Dean would have to take a ship because there’s no way he’d fly to Hawaii, so it would be a three week long episode that would be very boring. Jensen also talked about his soap opera days and did an excellent imitation of the way soap actors stare at each other for way too long after delivering a line, which was frankly hysterical. And spot on. Someone asked how much leeway he had in making those emotional moments happen for Dean. Jensen said that they “allow me to determine how I want to get to where I need to go.” He said the details of how to get there are generally not in the script. During the season finale of S10, Jensen said that he got emotional when Dean said “please forgive me” to Sam, and that maybe a tear popped out, and he asked to reshoot that because he wanted Dean to be more stoic. There are two ways of pulling up emotion for an actor, Jensen said. Either you pull from something in your real life, or (and this is easier), you think about your character and what they would feel. Jensen: Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t. And if it doesn’t, sometimes the scene didn’t warrant that much emotion. I asked if Dean also felt a re-commitment to his brother, as Jared had said about Sam, and Jensen said yes. Although they were pulled apart for different reasons, Dean was also distanced from Sam. He felt so guilty for letting Gadreel in, and that influenced his decision to take the Mark of Cain. Dean was going to sacrifice himself to make up for what he did. Then there was the Mark itself, which pulled him away from Sam even more, especially after Cain made it clear that there was no way out. So both brothers drifted away from each other, and are re committed in S11. Jensen: We address it. There’s a line, like when did we get away from helping people? It’s a reboot of the boys’ relationship. The boys are back in the saddle again and committed to each other. I gave him a thumbs up and a big grin at that. Jensen: [also grinning] It’s a reboot.
