Question: I want to know what was your most favorite unscripted scene or your least favorite scripted scene or moment?

Jared: Oh wow. Great question. I'm thinking about a moment where -

Jensen: Wait, let me guess - I punched you?

Jared: Yep, where Sam gets possessed by the Meg demon and finally gets exorcised, but he had been like, kinda torturing Dean? And so Dean reaches over, after Sam is back to Sam, like 'What happened?' and just punches him? That was in season two, Jesus.

Jensen: That wasn't scripted.

Jared: That wasn't scripted. There's so much that wasn't necessarily scripted, you know? Certain moments - one of my least favorite things, maybe my least favorite thing that any writer can put into a script? Is like, Dean cries, Sam breaks down, Dean tears up, Sam and you know, whatever, do this. 'Cause there were so many, if you were to go through all of the scenes of Supernatural, which there are many? And then watch the episodes, rarely was there a sequence where it was like they get emotional where we did and there was so many where they don't even mention that we get emotional, but you just feel it. You're just there and you're like - I hate it where it's like, this is where I'm supposed to cry [derisive noise]. 'Cause sometimes you don't even know, you'll go through a scene and you'll go, like, oh shit, like, that's hittin' deep. And it's not because it's scripted. So offhand, God -

Jensen: I think there's a lot of moments, especially some of the emotional moments. One comes to mind, which is the barn scene -

Audience: Which one?

Jensen: [slightly incredulous tone] Which one?

Jared: The most recent one.

Jensen: Yeah.

Jared: Genius.

Jensen: Where I'd be interested to go back and look - and I can't remember if - maybe they didn't use it, go back and read that scene on the script and see how word for word it was on the performance. Because I feel like there were takes where I know I would maybe repeat myself, or I would say some things that I thought were, you know, dove into the emotion even more. And it wasn't something I'd planned, it's just like - felt it, you just feel something and if - when you've worked with somebody for so long, and you're so comfortable with the character, and you know the story so well, you can be available for those things to hit and you can act on them, and you can say those words, and you can say something that just makes it feel more real. And I feel like we did that in that scene, there was some dialogue that maybe was added -

Jared: It's a lot. I know, yeah.

Jensen: or massaged, or you know.

Jared: I don't know if it was ever added to a revision, or if we just did it, but the callback of, like, I can't do this alone, yes you can, well I don't want to? It's the exact same words that Dean said to Sam and vice versa. So there was stuff that wasn't scripted initially - and that goes back to an earlier question, about if there's stuff like Jensen do whatever you want. Like the feeling of that scene was like, here guys, we know this intense -

Jensen: Here's the template.

Jared: here's the template, make it y'all's. Like, y'all know Sam and Dean more than anybody ever will, you make it yours. And so he and I had a couple months because then COVID happened, the pandemic, and so we made it ours. It was so hard to rehearse that scene.

Jensen: Well, even the - like it was scripted where I was on the ground. [Jared: Yeah.] And Jared comes up and kind of cradles me and I'm, you know, like, effectively dying in his arms.

Jared: Which would have been so long to try and carry your ass.

Jensen: And I just felt really strongly, and I've told this story before, and I went to Bob Singer, who directed that episode, I went to him a couple days prior just thinking about that scene, because it was a monster, and it was looming. And I just - it didn't feel right, to die laying down. And I said, hey, is there any way - because they were still building the set - I was like, is there any way, can we figure out a way for me to die on my feet? And Bob was like, [curmudgeonly voice] how the hell are you gonna do that? Who dies on their feet? And I'm like, Dean Winchester dies on his feet. And he made it work brilliantly, because he came, I think he came up with the idea that the impalement was so severe that if you removed it - and then we had to add that dialogue in, so it made me stay there on my feet and I think it was just such a much more powerful visual, to see these two brothers face to face in that moment. And so, you know, that was certainly one big thing that was totally unscripted that I fought for and I'm really happy I did, because -

Jared: Hell yes.

Jensen: I think it just made that scene that much more powerful.

Jared: Also I'm grinning to myself because I've watched a lot of the 15x20 reaction videos, the finale? And there's some really savvy tv viewers out there who've seen a lot of different television shows, a lot of different episodes of them. And you'll watch some and they'll be like, 'Oh, yeah, oh Sam's takin' on the big guy, oh yeah take that blah blah blah!' And then when Dean goes to the post and then runs out where it shows, they'll be like, 'Yeah - oh no. Oh c'mon now, no no no, they just showed that for too long - Oh shit! And then, like, turn it off because I'm crying.

Jensen: I still love the fact that the stunt guy, who is awesome, he's like ex-military, giant, one of the biggest guys we've ever had on our show, his name was Heidi. And he killed Dean Winchester [laughs]. But he's an awesome guy and in fact I was just in Vancouver and working with Jesse and Jesse and Heidi are like super close buds now, so it was good to kinda reminisce with those guys a little bit.

Please try not to tell people to kill themselves in the notes.

Dean and Cas poll

[vespbj]

People can like whatever they want. In canon it's Cass.

[vespbj]

Do people really believe that Dean is willing to sacrifice everything to save Cas? But he never did. Not even once. Time, yes. Risking his safety and even his life, yes. Dean and Sam do it on an every hunt for every stranger in trouble. But to give up his soul or Sam? No. At 15.19 Dean (and Sam) are ready to give everything (kill each other) to bring back all the people. Empty planet is the reason, not Cas, lol It's like Dean letting Sam to go into the cage or Sam letting Dean to blow up Amara - when the whole world needed to be saved. Dean didn't try to resurrect Cas later (just like he never tried before)

[vespbj]

Twenty years of saving people, not killing innocent, not starting some world threatening disaster. He just wasn't the best father (but he wasn't the worst one either) after his life was destroyed by angels and demons.

the most unrealistic thing that happened in supernatural was john going to heaven

[vespbj]

Emma came to Dean and lied to him about needing his help. Emma tried to kill Dean the minute he turned his back to her.

Then she stated that's who she is, that he will kill her or she will kill him.

I will never understand why people think that Sam should let her to kill Dean or make him kill her by himself.

The same poll about Amy is here.

SPN 200th Episode

Misha Collins: "When I saw the script, I also sent an email (I wasn't so audacious to show up in the writers room)," Collins said. "I sent an email, and I was like, 'I would love to be in the 200th episode because it's such a milestone and it's such a big deal.' And again, Jeremy, very eloquently, explained how they wanted to prioritize quality in this episode so they were casting Castiel with another actor."

SPN 300th Episode

SPN Finale

The Winchesters Jensen Ackles: Misha offered but I said no. It's true. He was like "I'll come back, I'm not doing anything" and I was like "oh, it's okay". He was like "Really?" I was like "Yeah, we are good"

[vespbj]

[vespbj]

This is gold

lmao

Well It was harsh but they had to hear the truth (even if they won't believe it lol)

[vespbj]

Jensen disagree with you

I think the reason why jarpad is insane is that when he was cast he was told the story was gonna be about his character. And then. I mean. He was in it?? But nobody cared about him tho. It was the angel and the bi hunters story and he was just awkwardly in the background

Screaming about the fact that Jackles made it so that Dean paralleled Mary between the two shows. Like she originally says "driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole" according to the prequel and either from hearing her or hearing it via John after she died, Dean picked that up.

And then....

"Good morning, sunshine" parallel with her and John paralleled to Dean and Cas OMGOMGOMG

Always thinking about the fact that Jackles did that and the writers did that, most likely intentionally. Not to bring IASIP into this, but THE IMPLICATION.

[vespbj]

But what for? Does he want The Apocalypse to happen? If Sam and Dean wouldn't be raised like they were, Lucifer and Michael very likely would get them as their vessels and The Apocalypse would happen. Dean and Sam wouldn't be ready to fight them, resist them. John young nor older didn't know that of course but Drake knows.

[vespbj]

i’m genuinely curious about this so reblog this and tell me in the tags what sort of takes on supernatural grate on your nerves the most, like which take do you fundamentally disagree with in such a personal manner that you’ll hold it against whoever you saw expressing that opinion forever

[vespbj]

lol 🤣
