Jensen: It’s just me – I don’t have my brother here!

He also explained his filming obligations and why that meant he had to change his day to Saturday, and thanked fans for their flexibility and ‘coming along for the ride’

His panel was mostly lighthearted – he was in such a good mood that he even acquiesced to doing a song and dance, which means I will likely never ever get the Applebee’s song out of my head for the rest of my life.

He did talk a bit about the series finale, which I was looking forward to hearing all of them do. (It was mortifying that some fans booed when Jensen first mentioned it. I don’t care if you loved it or hated it, everyone has a right to their feelings, but this guy put his heart and soul into making it and he’s proud of it).

Jensen: It was originally supposed to be Sam (getting to Heaven) and walking up to a roadhouse. Dean comes out and there’s the (reunion) scene on the bridge. Then they go inside and Kansas is playing Carry On. That’s all that changed.  They were also hoping to have lots of cast return for that scene, a big party in the Roadhouse that would just keep on rolling and turn into the actual wrap party – with Kansas playing.  He reiterated that he thought the actual bridge scene was great, but of course he would have loved partying with Kansas!

Jensen was happy to talk about the ‘barn scene’ and said he could only do it a few times, because it was too emotional.

Jensen: Even the crew got so emotional they had to turn away.

He said to Jared at the time, that they must have been doing something right to make that happen to those seasoned professionals.

He also ‘fought for Dean to die on his feet.’ Dean was originally supposed to collapse and die in Sam’s arms, so they would have had that powerful conversation in that position, which Jensen felt would be difficult.

Jensen: I think the two of them facing each other was more powerful.

Jensen: But there wasn’t a lot that needed to change in the finale, it was worked on very hard to get it right.

He told an amusing story about the crew guy who was responsible for putting him on the rebar – an ex military guy who was so big and so strong that he could even pick up Jared and move him around!

Jensen: It was difficult not to slip into ‘Dean voice’ on The Boys. I got a few notes from Kripke…

Jensen: There I was in all my glory, day one of The Boys…

He also did yet another Batman movie while in Toronto – and had to try not to be either Soldier Boy OR Dean in that one!

When he finally got back to his family, he said ‘I buried myself with my children for a few days.” Zepp, who was more into mommy before, while the two girls are “daddy’s girls”, hasn’t left his side since he returned. Awww.

He said they’ll be back in Austin in a few weeks.   Jensen talked excitedly about his role on Rust at the con, including almost being given a horse named Baby (Bebe) and finally ending up on the biggest one named Spanky.

Jensen: Dean will always be with me and this (the SPNFamily) will not end. Who knows, maybe we’ll take a break of three years and then just come back…

As Jensen’s panel was ending, Misha Collins came out onstage and surprised him with a hug from behind.  Jensen: “oh I thought it was Jared” 

Misha teased right back about how built up Jensen has had to get for The Boys and how obvious that was when they hugged. Jensen said that he told the supersuit designer, “you’re gonna build muscles into that suit, right?” The designer said oh no, you’re gonna bring me those!

Next up was the panel a lot of people were anticipating – the gold J2 panel. Stephanie from Creation introduced them, saying that Jared and Jensen asked them to work it out so they could do a panel together, the idea came from them. It was also their idea to crash Misha’s panel so all three could be onstage together for a little while.

Jensen M&G 

“Robbie had a lot of work to do, he had his work cut out for him, and he wasn’t… I think he had just come up with an outline of the, of the first episode when Deadline found out about it.  And we have a network and a studio and agents and ????? and lawyers who have had to talk about contracts being that if the show does do something because contracts are negotiated before anything ever happens, and they have assistants, and of course that’s how Deadline gets their connections, they’re like hey give ya a hundred bucks if you got any insider information.  I wasn’t, I didn’t even tell my parents about it y’know, and, so that was early, so I was superstitious and I don’t talk about it because that’ll jinx it. And then it came out and then everybody was like ‘oh, quick, repost, y’know make sure, make sure it’s not, make sure everybody knows it’s true and not, not false reporting.’ And so I did.

And I was on the set of The Boys that day and I kinda reposted it and said something quick and went back to set. And that’s the thing about The Boys, there’s no phones and no email, so I stayed on set, 12 hours a day playing backgammon with Karl Urban, and because this was kind of a big thing I went ‘I have to go to the bathroom,’ I don’t have to, I ran back to my trailer and grabbed my phone and saw Jared tweeted back and, and he was right, I should have told him – I wish he hadn’t found out like that, I would have loved to have given him the pitch and I did and he, he, we’re lovely, I’m about to go direct Walker and y’know, and we’re laughing ab- thank you, and he called me and he was like, ‘hey do you want me to find a way, do you wanna direct me or something or do you wanna do something bigger later on down the road?’ and I was like, ‘both, and by the way if you don’t think I’m gonna M. Night Shyamalan the hell out of this and put myself in your show…’”
