Do we know what year Bobby had to kill his wife? Would he even have been hunting in 1972?

Absolutely, nothing would change what happens to them or THEIR experiences. Nothing changes who they are.

LOL I was going to say the same thing, but then didn't, about crotchety old men being a major part of their appeal for me. And yeah while JDM is obviously set for middle aged John, I don't have any major sticking points for John and Mary. Loved Matt and Amy when they played the roles but again, it doesn't have to be THEM. No one for me is so associated with John and Mary that I have an issue with them being played by someone else for their younger selves. As long as they have roughly the right look, blond and light eyes for Mary, dark hair and dark eyes for John and Meg and Drake probably bare a bit more resemblance to Jensen and Jared then Matt and Amy did so.

Yeah I have zero interest in the Weechesters or in fact any show that has Dean and Sam played by anyone other than Jensen and Jared. I'm not that interested in the other characters, Bobby and Rufus? Love them, because they are Jim Beaver and Steven Williams mainly. I seriously doubt I'd have any interest in a show where they were played by other people.

No there really isn't, imo. It's been explained why this is the story they went with. You act like CW was just going to say "yes" to anything, they were not going to say yes to another show that had nothing to do with the Winchester(or Winchester/Campbell) family, that's pretty much all there is to it. John and Mary's story isn't being changed, not if it ends up in the same place, In between the 3 or 4 days and maybe 4 or 5 anecdotes we know about their pre Dean and Sam life(something 1800 days between 1972 and 1977) a lot can happen. As long as everything we DO know, what little there is, is in place and happens as we know it, nothing has been changed beyond they don't match up with people's headcanons on what happened on the +/-1800 days we don't know about the original show. Plenty of Star Wars complained about how the prequels "changed things" "Waaaaah Midichlorians!!!!! Waaah the Force is supposed to be spiritual and anyone can do it". Yet the Midichlorians went against literally NOTHING except their own headcanons(and perhaps EU materials but the EU were never claimed as canon). Now? Almost no one cares about there midichlorian explanation anymore.

Exactly the hottest thing about that is the hard work and dedication he put into getting the body they asked him for Soldier Boy. Hubba hubba. :) That he can do that superhero body is really all kinds of hot.

That IS a great metaphor. I've used the Star Wars example too! LOL Knowing how something ends, knowing parts of the story, it's like "and...so...?" to me.

He sort of debunks it, he never actually says it's fake. There's some wiggle room in the language he uses. Either way, I liked the "leaked' or fake script, keeping in mind it wasn't the final project, and I'm sure I will like the final script that ends up as the pilot even if that other script didn't have a spec of truth in it besides the names even better. I mean we still have the genuine character descriptions and they all sound really good, and interesting.

LOL Please every single prequel ever pretty much starts with a story that has a known endpoint. YES the point of a prequel is the journey, not the destination. So that right there is a non-argument IMO. Because that is the same argument for John hunting with the kids, we know MORE about Dean and Sam's childhood than we do about Mary and John's pre-child years. So how is that not the same argument? As for other characters, gee they've tried that already and no one gave a damn, so I wonder why they don't try that route again? Hmmm...what could be the reasons? Actually what Jensen's comment says is that he knows how the fandom bullies are acting, you know the ones who are hating just to hate and NOTHING will change their minds and he literally was giving back EXACTLY what they do. The fact that most of those people aren't self-aware to see that he was literally just turning around what they say back on them is kind of hysterical. He was joking around, which unsurprisingly went over their heads, as it usually does. Haters gonna hate but it also means no one has to worry about pleasing them either.

A nice interview with our new Mary is here, she mentions the show in answer to a couple of questions. She seems very sweet. https://www.jejunemagazine.com/home/meg-donnelly

It's not actually a "fact", it's the word of a single, never seen before or again Cupid who was NOT even the Cupid who "got John and Mary together". His story was basically hearsay. It could easily turn into they decide to "make sure John and Mary get together" and actually everything they do managed to just get them angry at each other, despite their natural attraction to each other, and then in the end they end up getting together because even the inept heavenly interference can't squelch their love. So they get together in spite of heavenly interference instead of because of it. Plus what the cupids do is actually pretty much left up for interpretation. There are Enochian sigils as a mark but we don't exactly what they do, just that they are mark meaning an angel was involved, but otherwise nothing is really explained, it's mostly unexplained assumptions. If they just mostly create situations that put the destined couple together until the situation hits on the things that causes them to fall in love, then it's still free will, just free will given some extra nudges.

We met young John and Mary, just TWICE, for what mounted to a total or 2 or 3 days. And you know what? Young John and Mary were VERY likeable people. People liked young John and Mary a lot. We don't "know" about their lives, we know about a few days of their lives and we know a few short anecdotes. That leaves nearly 2000 days of their lives we know very little about during the 5 year period the show could possibly cover. People change and not always for the better, it doesn't mean their stories aren't worth knowing or aren't interesting. Also for what's worth some of the crew have posted little bits of outdoor and building scenery and it looks like it's going to be atmospheric and gorgeous. We've got Jay Gruska on music, which should give a vein of continuity between the mothership and the new show.

I'd say it has a good chance. Everything that has come out about it is creative and interesting. The cast is just wonderful and they definitely seem to be bonding, they are always hanging out together. :) I think this show has the potential to blow people's socks off with imaginative storytelling.

The ghost story is so funny. His "pout" when the panel started about his scooter breaking down is hysterical too. :) He tells great stories.

Jensen said in the Supernatural Then and Now Podcast for Faith that he's just finished recording ANOTHER Batman film(I assume his podcast interview was recorded sometime within the last month or so). Yay! That means we have TWO full length Batman animated films to look forward to.

I mean seriously, get a REAL question moderator(not just the people who supposedly vet the questions before they are asked but let anything through no matter how many times they've been asked or how embarrassing/inappropriate they are). Or they can have the questions vetted ahead of time(like the Boys con is doing for some of the guests, the questions have to be submitted before the con, the moderator will ask them if deemed appropriate), but in the case of the SPN cons the person who submitted it can stand up, say hello, so there is still some personal interaction, but the moderator ASKS it. And if the person tries to overstep their bounds, they get told to sit down and their question isn't asked. Solo panels, so fans don't feel awkward asking about projects the other one isn't involved in. Or at least mix up the guest pairings.

Bianca looks like she'll make a great Millie Winchester, a character I'm very interested in after reading some things about her. And it's nice that they are hanging out in New Orleans prior to filming, getting prepared and getting to know each other. I think that'll help in the performances. Also someone noticed that in an episode in (ETA: in Meta Fiction in season 9), they call up a hunter called Carlos....it was a Robbie Thompson episode too. Sam is hanging up and says something like "Thanks, Carlos". Wouldn't it be something if now it turns out to be the same Carlos? I feel like we are going to get some really clever storytelling in this show. The naysayers will probably never admit it Robbie, Jensen, etc I think are going to create a really smart show.

Aww...that's cool him and Phil working together again. Hope we get to see the extended versions of some of what they filmed(seeing as it sounds like they were just going to use brief clips in the actual show, as scenes shown on a tv)

So excited for Season 3!! The trailer was excellent. And the cast was so charming at the SXSW panel. Really can't wait.

Yeah but think about it, he would have had to do that jump from the top railing...how did he even get up there? LOL

News pictures of Jensen on FBBC instagram(2 below a couple more on IG), as well as info about buying tickets for the Annual Crawfish Boil this weekend.: https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca551lUuwZW/?utm_medium=share_sheet

I think June is when they start filming

And Anthony Mackie too, so Jensen Ackles, Soldier Boy and Anthony Mackie, Captain America shared the float ride, tossing out necklaces and coins to the crowd.

The Swede right? I saw some of Hell on Wheels, I keep meaning to go back and watch the whole thing.

You know the funny thing is the first thing I remember seeing him in(but I didn't realize it until AFTER SPN) was an episode of The Adventures of Jules Verne, he played D'Artagnan! LOL He had long hair and cut a rather dashing figure. And after that(again realized after SPN) I would have seen him in an episode of Stargate SG-1, where he still had long hair and was an upstanding good guy in a town(on another planet of course) where the entire population was implanted with microchips in their brains which they thought just connected them to sort of their version of the internet but unknown to them changed their memories. You wouldn't have guessed he'd find his niche playing sociopathic bad, or at least not so good, guys.
