I am collecting links to all the tributes that are appearing for Kim Manners at the
Supernatural Wiki.
Of course you know one of my favourite stories about him is The Bee Story which Jensen first recounted at the Paley Festival in 2006.
And I’ll give it to Kim, he said, “You know what if you guys do not have bee suits on, I’m not either.” And he went in there in shorts and a t-shirt and a monitor and sat down on a box and directed us from inside the room with bees crawling all over our faces. It’s that kind of relationship with Kim.
Both Jared and Jensen often quoted Kim's philosophy on work “We spend way too much time with each other not to enjoy each others' company.” We all know the reports of what a wonderful set Supernatural is to work on and there is no doubt that was due largely to Kim's influence.
Many people may not relasie Kim wasn't just another director on the show, as a producer he basically ran the Show in Vancouver and I can't imagine how everyone there is coping with this grief.
And let's not forget that Jensen reported at Asylum in 2007, that it was Kim alerted he and Jared to the existence of Wincest ;D
