Hey flutie, what struck me about Sera stuff was that James P. Stuart was indicating that even as early as his first bibbing line there was apparently some transition stuff going on, which I believe is WAY earlier than anything Jeremy or Sera publicly admitted, right? Which really means that the abrupt wrap up of Eve and Dick probably had MUCH less to do with Sera's deficiencies as a show-runner than Jeremy's desire to wrap those up so he could start with a clean slate. Just a thought-Jeanette

I hope you don't mind me publishing this, because I think it's important information for that portion of the fandom who still thinks Sera Gamble was a terrible showrunner.

The truth is, I guess we don't really know what Gamble's like on her own. She had Kripke still breathing down her neck for the first half of season 6. And then apparently we find out that Carver was pushing to wrap up the Leviathan stuff as early as his first line about "bibbing" -- which, by the way, occured in "Slash Fiction", which is, the sixth episode of the season. Yikes.

I'd like to see what Sera could do with a show where she was truly given free reign to do whatever she liked. Because even with all the cooks in the kitchen through seasons 6 and 7, you can see how brilliantly ambitious her ideas were, how she wasn't afraid to take risks with the story or its characters. Who knows, maybe on her new show.

At the meet n greet, after the Carver comment that Misha made, we all must’ve made astonished faces because Misha impatiently said, I think the love there is made pretty clear.

And I said, Sure, on Cas’s part, its well established that he loves Dean, but i don’t think it is on Dean’s side. (yes, arguing just to get him to elaborate, I’m bad)

And he sorta rolled his eyes and said, C’mon, in the first few episodes, Dean’s running around Purgatory, chopping off heads, Where’s the angel, where’s the angel, you know, the guy I’m in love with?

Us: I DON’T REMEMBER DEAN SAYING THAT!!

Misha: He might as well have. You know, we know what it is, what’s going on. We don’t talk about it. The actors don’t, Jensen and I don’t. But we’re all perfectly aware of how the relationship is, the writers are completely aware of how it’s being written. It may be unspoken but that doesn’t mean it’s not there or not true.

Yes, at the Meet n Greet, Misha completely confirmed that Dean and Cas are in a love relationship. He did not specify romantic or sexual, but then again… At that point, he didn’t need to.

  Maybe I don't even need to finish The Great Season 7 Rewatch. Misha pretty much just finished it for me. :)

My photo op with James Patrick Stuart. 

I was freaking out about that poster the night before and then during his panel somebody asked whether he drew on Romney to play Dick Roman and he said “yes” and I just cracked up because it made the poster so perfect and if only he knew what he had in store for him..

I came up to him at the photo op and showed him the poster and he was really happily surprised by it. He loved it. After the photo, as I was about to walk away he told me that it was really brilliant or something of the sort. So that made my day. 

(also, my face looks terrible. Don’t mind me. Just look at the sign and the Dick next to me). 

OH MY GOD THAT IS AWESOME

I NEED THAT SIGN

From the link:

Emily was the founding member of her high school Star Trek club. She always role played as Data
Emily used to write Star Trek fanfiction and then act it out with her friends.

So, basically, Emily Perkins is the absolute cutest thing in creation.

Also, she was apparently drawn to Becky because she was "eccentric an [sic] sexually expressive", which makes me adore Perkins even more.

“Were you satisfied with Dick’s death scene?” Was I satisfied with the way Dick went out? (Much much giggling). Why can’t I see the holes that I’m falling into?

But anyway, good question. There had been a regime change on the show… Now this is not to leave this room. ( more laughter) But Leviathans were working in some ways and clearly not in others —along with other aspects of the show— so during the regime change the decision was made to wind up the Leviathan storyline, which we did. I think, given how the Leviathans had been built up that the conclusion could have been more drawn out and dramatic. But there was a lot of politics going on in the writing room, a lot of tension. But I think anyone looking back might see it as an opportunity lost and I’d hope moving forward that everyone learns from that.

Breaks my heart to discover that the Leviathan, some of my favorite monsters in any genre show ever, could've been given longer legs, but that Jeremy Carver chose to retire them because, I guess, they were last year's model.  *whimper* Dick Roman and co. deserved better. So much better.

I want to start a petition to bring back Dick Roman in a Purgatory flashback. I'll call it "We Want Dick In Purgatory. No, Not That Dick. Not That One Either. Good Idea, Benny, But Not That One Either. Yes. Dick. That One. That One Right There. We Want Him Back. (Okay And Maybe Those Other Dicks Too.)"

chicon question

Apparently James Patrick Stuart was talking about the death of Dick Roman at his Chicon panel today, and how he thinks it could've been better but that showrunner/regime changes impacted the writing. Could anybody who was there elaborate?

When my daughter & I realized that the person in the elevator with us was Kim Rhodes, we did a doubletake & then squealed. And she said, oh you didn’t smile at first so I thought, wow, they must not like my character, I’ll just stand here & be quiet.

Cue much incoherent babbling and hugging, and us saying no, we just didn’t realize it was her at first.

The temp in Chicago is a whopping 35 degrees colder than in my home area, so I was huddled in my trench coat, wondering if I’d have to buy gloves to get thru the weekend, when I realized some tall lady was waiting for the elevator too. Thank goodness my daughter is observant.
