Q&A with Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, Sera Gamble, Eric Kripke and Ben Edlund
@paleycenter Tonight's moderator is Maureen Ryan of AOL. Exec Prod Sera Gamble introduces the clip package
@fahrbot Outtakes from the french mistake
@insidethetube Showing scenes from Western episode.
@LauinLA Soon trailer: from the western ep. Pistols at dawn with a badass looking Dean and a man in black.
@Fowler_IGN #supernatural spoiler from #paleyfest. Upcoming episode clip shows Cas sending S & D to old west to track down the Colt!
@danielletbd: .@mishacollins just fangirl screamed when Jensen was announced on stage.
@danielletbd TheFrenchMistake stemmed from idea that the show flitted in and out of a movie. Kripke's said what if they were Jared & Jensen?
@insidethetube There were daily discussions of breaking the fourth wall, Kripke says.
@danielletbd Legal department wasn't sure they were allowed to show off behind the scrnes if a CW show...but they are a CW show!
@insidethetube "We're in 6th season of a show where a network let's us do anything we want." - Kripke
@danielletbd "None if us will ever be in a position...where we can do this again" - Eric Kripke
@insidethetube Jensen says they were actually hearing the pitches for the meta episode. He had some hesitation at first.
@danielletbd Jensen says TheFrenchMistake was the first time he & Jared were called into a pitch meeting. Usually they just get scripts.
@paleycenter The behind the scenes ep was the first time the actors were consulted before the script was written.
@soundxfury Jensen says he isn't interesting. Misha agrees.
@danielletbd Jensen didn't want to play himself. "I'm not interesting." @mishacollins confirms. Now THEY're not talking lol
@LauinLA Jared and Jensen's initial hesitation was about playing themselves. "I'm not like that!" Jensen gasped.
@danielletbd "I'm sorry to cut you off but you've been talking a lot" - @mishacollins who wanted to play himself douchier.
@LauinLA Jensen to Misha: your death scene made me laugh SO MUCH, which is weird...
@danielletbd "It's kind of like being raised by wolves" - Sera Gamble who has only worked on two tv shows. Ever.
@insidethetube Kripke says they were aware the fans were interested in the behind the scenes of the show.
@MarisaRoffman "This is an episode right now...you're all in it!" - Kripke jokes about where the meta can go from here.
@EricIGN Jensen insists he doesn't have an aquarium in his trailer. I'll say it: I've been in his trailer. He doesn't!
@LauinLA Jared and Jensen are doing very bizarre voices for the recitations of the scripts.
@GMMRTV Jared's impression of Kripke's 'dastardly villain' voice is hilarious.
@LauinLA Advance warning on their characters: jim on Bobby's wheelchair - "I turned up to set and they said sit down."
@insidethetube Ben directed ep. No puppets, he says. "Very emotional." Fourth act is a one-act play. Fruition of serious friendships
@jaredsgirl86 Season 7? #SPN hasn't been picked up yet, but it's a solid Friday performer for the CW.
@WriterlyPink Jensen Ackles words: #Supernatural Season 7 will be great.... If it gets picked up.
@danielletbd Ben Edlund directed the 20th episode, the emotional preparer for the last 2 of season. Still in progress.
@danielletbd Jared says both Ben & Jensen were "Great" as directors
@LauinLA Misha on Ben's directing: u have a director who knows the whole arc of the story so you can talk about ur character
@LauinLA Jared on Ben's directing: giving him scene directions about how Sam might be feeling in the scene, which is lovely
@fahrbot Jared just dragged off his mic cord, Jensen saved him
@danielletbd Of course Jensen wants to direct again. It's a good challenge and he likes to throw himself into the deep end so to speak.
@LauinLA Jensen wants to direct again, hopes to explore more - "as long as Jared's not in it."
@tbrick2 "I hear 'Supernatural kills off women,' Supernatural kills off everybody!" Jim says.
@LauinLA Jensen is doing the slo-mo recreation of Kripke's death scene
@LauinLA Eric emailed to thank the writers for letting him die in such a manly way, with none of the urinating...
@danielletbd Jim says he really needs to see TheFrenchMistake. Kripke says they moved to Fridays. "Oh I know when MINE are on!"
@LauinLA Bob Singer pitched Sam coming back without a soul.
@danielletbd The actors don't know what they can say about shocking show twists. There's a few coming!!
@LauinLA There are some twists and curveballs that the cast aren't allowed to talk about that they've been v surprised about
@LauinLA Ben wants them to do a three camera set-up live episode, Jensen really doesn't!
@LauinLA The writers trust Ben with his crazy episodes because he always delivers. Eric: until the day he DOESN'T...
@insidethetube "I don't know that there are lines." - Jensen on show being too light or too dark
@paleycenter Jensen: I realized there are no lines we can't cross when I was standing on a Japanese game show in ski boots.
@danielletbd "We barely talk about it" - Sera halfjokes about defining a soul.
@insidethetube "We try to do it with some elegance." - Kripke on the topics covered on #spn
@LauinLA Eric: we try to talk about the nature of destiny and the soul, while referencing blues brothers and evil dead 2
@EricIGN "Nothing's cooler than Evil Dead 2," says Kripke
@insidethetube Kripke wrote the season finale. Turned it Friday. Start shooting next week.
@thefutoncritic "They're on good behavior because there's a few curveballs coming." - Kripke on the show's biggest surprises.
@HannahBag Jensen just imitated Misha's death scene on stage. Kripke says that wasn't originally in the script.
@GMMRTV We will meet Rachel, Castiel's trusted assistant.
@danielletbd We will meet Castiel's Lieutenant Rachel who they joke he has now adopted ala Angelina Jolie.
@fahrbot Jensen is perpetually startled and amused by Edlund
@thefutoncritic Kripke is writing the season finale, to be directed by Singer.
@danielletbd Jim says "42 years in this business and on my tombstone it's going to say "Kissed Crowley.
@EricIGN How was kissing Crowley? "I've had better," says Jim Beaver.
@LauinLA Jim's talking about kissing Crowley, Jared is outraged that Mo segued into a question for him next
@LauinLA Jared does miss soulless Sam, but did have fun playing with the nature of the soul. "I do miss the little guy..."
@HannahBag The war in heaven will play out at the end of the season
@danielletbd Kripke: "Currently there are no plans to return the amulet."
@danielletbd Kripke jokes the amulet is a diva, contract negotiations failed, it's moving to One Tree Hill.
@danielletbd Jensen says he was out of his comfort zone with NoSoulSam b/c Jared wasn't playing his onscreen partner the way he always did.
@paleycenter Jensen had a very hard time knowing how to play scenes with the Soulless Sam.
@Fowler_IGN "He wasn't playing a character that I was used to working with. I struggled with it" Jensen, talking Soulless Sam
@danielletbd Kripke says there are moments in every episode he would do over. "Food is never as good when you cook it."
@danielletbd For the record Kripke is criticizing his own writing; he thinks the guys always nail it.
@@LauinLA: Kripke can't watch full episodes- still hates bugs, red sky, route 666
@insidethetube Kripke's talking about the writing. Brings up scene in pilot while the boys are walking to the Impala.
@danielletbd Jensen says he's glad the exposition scenes are hard to write b/c they're also hard to act!
@LauinLA: Jensen says exposition scenes are just as hard to act as they are to write. Jen: "I applaud you for giving those scenes to guest stars now"
@LauinLA Misha talks about regretting his deep Cas voice. "I may be running into medical problems."
@danielletbd If Misha could have a do over it would be introduction of Castiel's voice...b/c he didn't know he'd have medical problems now!
@LauinLA He hopes someday Cas will have a tank of helium with him so he can talk normally
@danielletbd Jensen's face for his reaction to first hearing the Castiel voice is amazing. "What is he doing? Did he audition?"
@LauinLA Jensen and Jared walked past him a couple times to scope him out "look, there's the strange guy..."
@fahrbot Js are giving Misha sooo much shit. hes just grinning
@danielletbd Jensen: "His consistency in that character has been-- Jared: "His saving grace" Jensen: "It's really grown on me."
@danielletbd Ben gives a shout out to fans on Twitter, talking about #fightthefairies trending
@danielletbd Jared didn't know the season finale would be two consecutive hours.
@EricIGN Kripke says they initially thought they'd approach two-hour finale as a movie, but now it feels like two episodes.
@LauinLA Each episode has its own story, both are self-contained
@danielletbd Kripke says "it will be awesome in reruns but for the two-hour people will be like 'What?'"
@danielletbd Will there ever be a main female character who's a good force? Everyone dies so no, no one will be around for long.
@LauinLA Female characters with a positive force coming up: Jared says just Castiel.
@insidethetube Sera says demons are pretty bad at the end of the day. No real force for good.
@danielletbd "We like to kill people." - Sera Gamble, ladies and gentlemen
@LauinLA Sera says she doesn't know if they'll ever pull off a character like Ruby again. Esp one that seems good as she did 2 start w/
@Paleonut_ Sounds like we won some of the TVGuide fan fav contest
@danielletbd Tall guy in audience calls Jared out on his height and wants to stand back to back w/him.
@insidethetube "I'm 5'8"!" - Jared
@danielletbd Kim Manners shout out. He was at #PaleyFest in 2006. Kripke hopes he's with us now.
@Fowler_IGN Season 1 mandate: Sam & Dean aren't able to use umbrellas because guys who fight monsters shouldn't care about rain
@danielletbd Sam's boots came b/c his Pumas got too wet when they'd film in rain.
@paleycenter The episode Ben just directed is from Castiel's POV.
@danielletbd Ben's directorial debut on #Supernatural is Cas-centric. "We hear a couple of moments from his childhood."
@EricIGN Kripke explains TV standards & practices let you use the word dick, "as long as you're not talking about a dick."
@LauinLA Missouri could come back next season if they have one
@LauinLA Kripke wrote that Missouri would have had Bobby's role in the s1 finale originally. So we wouldn't have had Bobby if she'd been available
@LauinLA Jim is very relieved that loretta Devine was shooting a movie instead
@danielletbd Kripke wanted to see what grizzly male friend of John's would look like. Interesting how scheduling conflict created awesomeness
@LauinLA Originally Bobby was going to be called Bobby Manners, but they found a guy with that name in south Dakota so had to change it
@danielletbd Last question of day: "When will Jensen & Jared become EPs of the show?" both guys stand up to wait for Kripke's answer.
@LauinLA What will the final ending be: Eric: we'll figure it out - lots of plot ties he'd imagined for series end were in swan song
@EricIGN Kripke has a specific coda in mind for when the show ends, he didn't use when they got Season 6 renewal.
@vehiclesshockme Kripke said Swan Song did not have all his ideas for a series finale and was not where the characters were all going to end up.
@vehiclesshockme He still has his real coda ending so they can use it when there is a series finale which he thinks won't be for years.
@HannahBag Ep 20 will be Castiel-centric. Edlund says there'll be a childhood flashback from LONG ago.
