J2 DallasCon Gold Panel
Jared welcomes the fans to the family.
The boys start telling bad dad jokes.
Jared: Stop reading my mind!
Jensen likes the band Styx.
The boys start dancing to the mic feedback.
Cheesiest pick-up line they’ve ever heard? “A woman asked me if I had just fallen out of a plane because I was the bomb.” – Jensen “A woman came up to me at a bar and slipped me her number while patting my thigh saying ‘I have a new mattress and I could use help breaking it in.’” – Jared
Jared says that Sam does have demon blood in him, will be a problem for a long time. Something is seeking out Sam.
Another report: Jared calls the promo “dark and torturey” and thinks Sam still has demon blood in him (Jensen dramatically says “What?!”)
Jared: It’s nice to be part of something that inspires creativity in others.
Jared doesn’t want his kids to see him die on screen.
J2 say they’re probably overly critical of their own performance.
Jared’s going to the Dinosaur Train convention.
J2: We just look at each other sometimes and say, what are we doing? Like in Dog Day Afternoon, nutcracker scene in Changing Channels, French Mistake, etc.
The boys mimed taking off tear away pants, in unison.
Jared took Spanish in school, can speak it a bit but not well.
They re-tell the story of Jared pieing Misha in the face.
J2 had to carry Osric part way during Tough Mudder because he has knee issues.
Jared talks about Jason Manns leap-frogging over him and them sort of face planting while he was trying to carry Jason at Tough Mudder (via vid)
Jensen talks about picking up Richard during Tough Mudder. Says he got lucky compared to Jared lol. Explains how Jason said that he had ran more during Tough Mudder than he had all year.
Jared is both a procrastinator and a perfectionist.
They talk about how Misha actually hurt his voice doing the Cas voice.
Jensen is planning a prank on Richard when he goes to set for 11×8.
Jensen wants to be a Merman (since JJ makes him watch The Little Mermaid) says yes he can sing all The Little Mermaid songs.
Jared wants to be a fairy. Jensen: Of course.
Jensen: Fuck those fairies!
Jensen took a photo-op with Jared, Josh, Logan and Lincoln.
Jensen M&G by Fangasm
A fan told Jensen that Jared had said in his meet and greet that JJ screams (with joy) when she sees Tom and Shep (awwww). Jensen laughed and said yes, that’s true. And then added that when she sees him recently and he picks her up, she puts both hands on the sides of his face, cradling it, and says tenderly, “Oh Daddy…”
Jensen: Danneel! Did you teach her to do that?
But no. Apparently it’s all JJ. And who can blame her? Look at that faaaaaace!
A fan said she loved the dvd commentaries that Jensen and Jared have done, and asked if there would be more. Jensen said they would like to do more, that it’s cool to go back and watch an episode even when it’s one of the old ones because you see things more objectively – and because all of those memories spark the nostalgia. (In other words, he watches old episodes just like we do!) So far WB hasn’t asked them to do more.
Since all we’ve seen of S11 so far is the trailer (which the cast clearly has a love/hate relationship with because it both gives things away and creates confusion and consternation in the fandom for perhaps no good reason), I asked Jensen a question about what we saw there. Jensen and Jared have both said that they’re excited about the new season because the brothers are back on track, back together, unafflicted by anything. But in the trailer, we see Sam bloody and tortured, and with ominous black veins bulging in his neck. That doesn’t exactly look like “unafflicted”!
Jensen was careful not to be explicitly spoilery, but he did say that perhaps what we see in the trailer is not exactly what it seems.
Jensen nodded, and reiterated what he’d said to me before, that we won’t be seeing Sam with an affliction. Maybe something is after Sam, but who’s to say it’s evil?
Not to say that Sam necessarily lets Dean in on everything that happens.
Jensen said again that this season feels to him very much like Season 1, with the Winchesters together up against this big thing that they don’t know how to fight and don’t have lore about, so in the meantime they’re going to get back to saving people, hunting things.
The Winchesters will also team up with some unlikely allies, which made me squee a bit hoping they’re some of my favorite guest stars.
Someone asked if the Season premiere picks up where the finale left off. Jensen said yes, it’s a direct pick up — with a twist. We don’t know how much time has passed or what has happened during that time.
Another good question was how Jensen approaches playing Dean’s development as a character when they shoot episodes out of order. Isn’t that confusing? Jensen said he focuses on the one script he’s working on, especially on how Dean comes into that story and how he exits.
Jensen: Then I go from there. I keep them separate, compartmentalize the scripts. Jared does it differently, as one continuous story line.
What’s important to him, he said, is going into it with an understanding of where the character is at emotionally.
He also said that shooting out of order is routine for them.
Jensen: We often shoot the scene where the brothers are talking…like in the car…you guys have a word for it, right?
Everyone: Broments.
Jensen: (smiling) Yeah. We often shoot those scenes first. We shoot out of order all the time.
A creative fan asked an interesting question that Jensen clearly had fun with. What character that he’s played would he like to see Jared play?
Jensen: (pondering, and then breaking out into an absolutely gleeful grin) Priestly. I’d love to see Jared do Priestly.
Fan: In a kilt?
Jensen: (nodding, and still grinning)
Jensen: All right, all right.
Creative fan: And what character would you like to see Misha play?
Jensen: Jason Teague on Smallville. I’d like to see Tom Welling tower over him
Creative fan: And which of Jared’s characters would you like to play?
Jensen: Jared’s character in Friday the 13th. Because he got to ride an old Triumph. [laughing] Although he made it look like a mini bike!
Of course he acted this out, so we were all laughing too.
Another great question was when (what season, or what episode) Jensen felt like he really understood Dean. Jensen mentioned a few early episodes that helped him understand who Dean was — Phantom Traveler gave him an idea that Dean had a comedic side. And Dead in the Water solidified Dean as this kind of unsuspecting hero, someone who would run into a fire and not think twice about it.
Jensen: Even though he can have kind of a hard exterior, there was this morally good heroic man underneath it.
The scenes with Dad also gave him another clue about who Dean was, how he really looked up to his father and learned to do what he did.
Jensen said that he didn’t know Dean then like he does now, though. Now he can read a script and say “Dean would not say that” or “Dean would not do that.” He wouldn’t walk into a room and stumble over dead bodies on the floor, or go “Aaah!” when he sees them. That’s not a way to get a “jump scare” that would work with Dean.
Jensen: He’s seen 2000 dead bodies. Some of them his own!
After playing the character for ten years, he knows this character inside and out.
a fan asked the lovely and intrepid Jen from Creation to give Jensen some candy she’d brought for him.
Jensen: Thanks! Jared got some before and I already broke into it and had some.
On a more serious note, Jensen also talked a little about Richard Speight’s Supernatural directing debut, which is about to happen.
Jensen: I’m actually a really big fan. I’ve been very impressed by the things he’s done that I’ve seen.
He said the script is very unique. It’s written by Jenny Klein, who is good friends with Ben Edlund (who I still miss like crazy!) and that this script seemed very “Ben-like”. Jensen also said that Richard has the entire crew and all the actors on his side. They will undoubtedly prank him unmercifully, but I think we all know they’ll give him 110% and all the help he needs.
Later, we asked Jensen if he’s given Richard any advice about directing.
Jensen: [laughing] He keeps asking me! I don’t know what he’s thinking…
Jared’s M&G
3rd question: From the episodes you’ve shot so far, what’s your favorite Sam/Dean scene you’ve shot so far?
Jared: Actually, probably the one we were just talking about, where S/D come clean with each other.It’s a really good bro scene
2:25 pm Kathryn Newton (Claire Novak) (first creation con appearance)
Talked about her golf game with Jensen, Jensen made a putt first time, she didn't.
They were at a range,
Jensen: see how far it went? Kathryn: see how sideways it went?
Rich: who won you played golf with Jensen? Kathryn: .. I got a birdie, he got a bogey
3:15 pm Jensen and Jared
