Everyone wants to think he's gotten over doxxing people, but now he just plays the victim and leaves it to the fringe element of his fandom to take it from there. Same thing, just more subtle, and now he's doing it to his "friend". He should delete the ones to Jensen, too, if he's really sorry, AND issue a retraction, but I don't think he is. Dude still has big problems if you ask me, and with "friends" like him, who needs enemies, AFAIC.

Jensen(also a very emotional person albeit more reserved than JP, IMO) was probably also "gutted", and possibly even felt betrayed, too, when no one had his back when he expressed reservations about the finale and about a number of other things concerning the show, especially in the last few seasons. So, not being one to call out people on social media, he simply learned how to avoid the lack of creative control in future projects that he might want to be involved in in his own way. And sometimes confidentiality is a very big part of business contracts and negotiations. That's all that happened here, IMO.

It seems to me, as if Jensen did learn a few more very important things about the business he's working in as this show wound down.

Thank you so much for saying this. MTE.

I tried to watch Lucifer(watched S1) but it just didn't do it for me-not the least bit interested in seeing a romance between an angel and a human. And I actually love the idea that they gave us of archangels in The Monster at the End of the Book, when Castiel described them to Dean. I further think that the best depiction we've seen of an archangel on Supernatural was Raphael's first appearance. But that's not really what I meant. I meant that I've never seen a role written for an angelic being that would do Jensen's skillset justice-the kind of Ethereal Beauty that he possesses mixed with the Utmost Badassity and Otherworldliness especially. I remember the movie Michael, from many years ago, with John Travolta in the title role, that could have come pretty close, but I would have loved to see more battles(both with other angels as well as with humans), if it had been written for Jensen.

This is his first "other" role, so hopefully it can stay(and it's breaking the internet into itty-bitty pieces as I type this).

So I've been rewatching S2 on TNT this week and while I've always been dumb struck at how beautiful Jensen Ackles is, his S2 looks carry such an angelic cast/light, IMO. Totally and So Completely Ethereal is the best descriptor of S2 Dean that I can come up with; and now, even more so. I think it was this season that made me long to see him in the Michael role more than any other-but not Kripke's angels or any of the other showrunners that this show has had. And tbh, I can't even think of any angelic casting that I've ever seen that would truly do his looks and his skillset as an actor justice. I just know that I'd still love to see him in a warrior angel role written just for him. It's still a role that I think he was absolutely born to play.

WOW! Over 2 million now...😍💪

IMO, after giving 15 years of his life to the show, he simply made a conscious effort and decision to go with it because what else could he do other than continue to unsuccessfully rail against it and take on the role of the one and only "malcontent"-which likely would have also affected his performance; so for that reason, more than any, I think he opted to try and embrace it so as to do his job as an actor to the best of his ability. I always remember him once saying that an actor's first priority when taking on any role is to sell the writing. Perhaps he felt that he couldn't do that if he couldn't accept the ending. It would make total sense to someone such as he, IMO. And I think that's why he was ok with ending the show when they did, too-because he had gotten to a place and time where he was having too much trouble trying to sell the writing that he was being given.

I think this was made to convince some that Jensen didn't hate the last episode of the series-which I'm sure he didn't by the time it aired and even by the time they filmed it, tbh. But the greatest constant in all of this effort , IMO, was that Jensen did indeed become convinced that he was "too close" to his character and the show, on the whole, for his initial reservations to have been afforded enough merit or consideration; and especially when everyone else was "on board" with things. And because of that, Dabb's prediction that 30% of the fandom might like it, came true-which means that 70% of the fandom didn't like it, so I'm not sure what to think of that, but it certainly isn't "Way to go, showrunners, writers, and producers!" In fact, it feels more like perhaps they should have listened a little bit more to the guy who was apparently "too close" to everything and maybe those numbers could easily have been reversed, but hey, when 95% of those BTS are hell-bent on having things done their way, there isn't a whole lot that the 5%er can do, except exactly what Jensen did(and likely had become accustomed to doing after 15 years of the same) which was to give his all, in every way, to the project he was working on, as an actor and from an actor's POV. I do so hope that he learned some valuable lessons from it all as he leaves this project and goes on to others and that he especially remembers those valuable lessons that he learned as he takes on roles other than strictly and only an actor's, BTS-because IMO, he was not too close to his character. No, on the contrary and to me, others BTS, were not close enough to his character to have dismissed his reservations so quickly and so out of hand. And that's what I got more than anything else from the above production, too.

Can you imagine being an 8 year old girl and having This Man as your father?

I'm still not able to talk about that half-assed finale, much less watch it again. Not in any kind of an in-depth way. Writing-wise, it still feels to me as if it was little more than straight up character regression for Dean, yet again and some more, with my reasons for feeling that way belonging more in the B vs J thread. But I think that I can add here that yet once again, Jensen Ackles acting stole the episode right out from under all the writers' nonsense, and his Critic's Choice Best Actor Award win was proof of that, AFAIC. Jensen's acting was the one and only superlative in this sorry excuse for a series finale that Dabb tried to pawn off on us, IMO. And that's how I've had to learn to reconcile myself and my thoughts with it, at this point, because not only did Dean's death feel rushed and OOC to me also, but it also felt incredibly under appreciated from both the writing standpoint and from the canon within the actual series-long storyboard standpoint-and yes, covid was no excuse for that at all AFAIC too.

She's the reason I stopped watching it after Dean's phone call to John today. That little scene is so extraordinary to me that there was no way I was going to allow Misery to ruin it for me. Not today and not ever again, tbh. We talked about this recently in another thread, but this is how I find myself rewatching certain episodes lately, and it happened a lot today given the episodes that they reaired on TNT.

I Flove! that cover!! I'm getting it. 😍🥰💝

Oh, thanks so much for this nice little Jensen goodie!! I don't have Sirius radio, but wish I did, so I could have heard No Quarter and that Nice! intro. I'm crazy in love with that song! 💝

Just another reason for the plug being pulled. I honestly feel as if Dabb thought that it would never actually happen. Dumb Ass.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! 🤬

And "Ackt" like no other-not for me, anyway. I wish that we could get some live action Ackting sooner, but it looks like we're going to have to settle for Voice Ackting before that. Batman will be out in June and I'm psyched for that, too. And the new Radio Co. CD in early May. Lots of Jensen goodies and goodness coming our way at last...🥰

It's kind of eerie how similar this sounds to how I've been feeling, and even what I've been doing too. I think that I love this episode so much predominantly because of Jensen's acting. This was such a complicated role he was asked to play, and he succeeded gloriously, IMO. I always think that I can't love both the character and the actor who portrays him so well any more than I already do, and then we get an episode like this, and I fall in love all over again and just like the first time, if that's possible. The Dean Adorableness was off the charts in this one and it's still a mystery to me how Jensen Ackles made that happen so well and so often in this episode. I LOL! and smiled so much through most of this one. I love that. I don't have the S12 DVD so I haven't rewatched this one that often, but I'm so glad I caught it this time.

Yes, I forgot about the editing of that scene. I have seen it edited all together by the fandom so many times that I'd forgotten they did that in-show. But I mostly love this episode for Jensen and all that he brought to his character and the entire episode. Thanks for these words, Bergamot. MTE.

Bumping this one because I'm getting ready to watch it again and now, after all is said and done, I still love every scene in it so much...

This look is Insane. I LOVE! it. IKR?! 🤩

Goddess, they both look so GOOD!! and completely into the music. SO! HAWT!!!

This looks So. Friggin '. Good. I can't wait...🤗🤩🤪

My timeline is going nuts with Joy! right now. What a Beautiful video. Everything about it Sings Jensen.
