Pondlass1 June 4, 2017 Share June 4, 2017 The only thing, tho, is that it's coming across as sour grapes because he was demoted or whatever. I'm hoping he'll do an interview or article or something and maybe explain his position to fans. He's not really handling it well in my opinion. It does look a bit like TPTB chose the other Mark over him for season 13 and he got pissed and said take this job.... Both Marks are good strong actors. I get the impression they both have strong personalities too. Meanwhile the Js enjoy summer in Austin. I think you only have one more season to go, boys.... 1 Link to comment

It just feels somewhat dishonest to me because he has previously said he loved the writing for the show. It feels like now he's mad and going to burn the whole house down. However, Mark is a well known as incredibly professional and wonderful to work with. This doesn't look professional nor like someone easy to work with. I more worry it might give someone pause to hiring him in the future? It's not like his "honesty" now is going to change anything on the show. It's more likely TPTB aren't going to pay him any mind, while with the fans, he's just preaching to the choir. But you know who knows this is a maybe-possibility better than anyone, certainly better than any of us? Mark. And he's still going on the record as being unhappy with it. He has worked on many other ensemble shows and I don't recall anything like this from him. I extrapolate these things to mean that he really feels justified in his (apparent) anger with them. Just seeing how Dabb & company have handled the show since taking power, I don't have a problem putting the lion's share of the blame on them. 4 Link to comment

Bessie June 4, 2017 Share June 4, 2017 I don't think what Sheppard is saying is particularly controversial or indicative of much anger. He's explaining why he believes Crowley was killed off and some issues he had with some past storylines. I don't find that unprofessional. He's telling it like it is (as he sees it) while not dishing dirt or calling anyone out by name. Maybe if I were listening to his comments in person, I'd get a sense of anger, but based on what I'm reading I don't see it. Given what other Supernatural actors have said in the past, his comments are no worse. I mean, last year they talked about how they had to rewrite the final episodes. Talk about dissing the writers! 7 Link to comment
MysteryGuest June 4, 2017 Share June 4, 2017 When management makes these types of decisions, they have to know they'll face some fallout. Or sometimes, a lot of fallout. Add in the convention circuit, and Crowley's death fresh in everyone's minds, including Mark's, and I think this is almost unavoidable. I know I wouldn't be satisfied if he just spouted some company line about why he was now gone from the show. Fans would know it was bullshit. I think the fans who are angry about Crowley's demise, myself included, already put the blame at the show runners' feet, so I'm not sure it makes any difference what he says. 10 Link to comment

I sort of felt this way too when this whole thing began, but now I'm not so sure this is anything new. I have no idea how show runners are chosen, or whether the network would even bother stepping in at this point if they weren't happy with how things were going. On one had, they have this long running show that conceivably could continue for a while with the right writers, and that could be a real feather in the network's cap, but do they really care? I get the feeling the show can stick around as long as the ratings are decent, but they're not going to do much to make sure that happens. It's disappointing. 4 Link to comment

How much money do you want to put on that bet? Seriously, it's been declared dead by someone every year. Yet it keeps getting NEW fans who find it on Netflix. Those who don't like it will drift away. Those who do will stay. And with Netflix, new people will come. I think it's there till Jared and Jensen say "we're done". And I don't think that happens anytime soon. Jared - He's still (IMO) stuggling a little. He'll want the financial stability and the fandom interaction for a while longer. Jensen - He's getting his side hustle going. When that's financially sound, then it's for as long as he enjoys the job. I think both have eschewed other roles at this point. J2 MAY pick up work after a while. Having young kids is awesome but anyone can tell you, going from 100 mph to 30 mph (in terms of work pace) is a system shock. I don't know how long before they get an itch again. Right now, however, there is no need. They love their jobs and have a great time. I see no death knell for the series. I think it's ENTIRELY possible that there will be fans who depart (especially depending on how they handle Cas' character). But there are replacement fans coming up via Netflix every day. 7 Link to comment
Pondlass1 June 4, 2017 Share June 4, 2017 I would imagine thousands of actors have had issue with scripts or the journey of their character. And actors lose 'regular' status all the time. Acting is a crap shoot.. no guarantees. You're at the whim of the PTB. But I think we're now in a climate where writers are being held way more accountable, criticized and even winning 'Worst Monster on CW' polls - social media and all that stuff. So MS feels free to vent, I guess. There should be a writers' panel at Creation. (They'd have to check audience pockets for rotten tomatoes, tho) 1 Link to comment

His con persona is that of a mischievous but ultimately loving individual: He insults (but he's not serious.... right... or is he?). He speaks profoundly and then turns around and tells someone that's a stupid question. But there's an edge there. And I saw him turn on a dime once and he was serious. So.. I'm always careful what I say. Let me make it clear - he's a BRILLIANT, complicated, passionate, artist. He has a depth of understanding that is breath-taking. He's very passionate and can speak intelligently on a large range of topics. Usually in a good way. But seriously, DON'T get him started on the Beatles. He's not actually joking. That's like touching the belly of the tiger. And people know that. 2 Link to comment

Icarus June 4, 2017 Share June 4, 2017 I haven't been here for a while, my kaspersky always shows that this site is a high risk with nearly a thousand counts of risk so I tend to shut down and forget about it. I am surprised how many people are criticising Mark's tweets. I personally have been very interested in anything he has to say to try and get some perspective on his departure. I understand that although he was a recurring character and a fairly major part of the series, he still was expendable unlike of course J2. It is the way he has been written and the death he was given that has been so bad in my opinion. Many people on this site and on others have been complaining about the writing vociferously – me too – so I would have thought that Mark bringing it more into the open would be of value. I believe we can still be confident that the set itself it still a very happy place to be for all the actors and crew, the writers and showrunner are not included in this “family” and IMO don't deserve to be! 7 Link to comment

I should be clear, I don't really have a problem with his comments other than I feel like he's wallowing right now, which never really looks good on anyone, IMO. I think he's perfectly entitled to his disappointment though. He spent seven years with this character--the last few almost exclusively--that's gotta be hard to walk away from. Especially when the expectations were there for more. However, I highly doubt TPTB disliked Mark or Crowley or did this out of spite or anything else. I think they made a creative decision, for better or worse, and now have to live with it--for better or worse. 3 Link to comment
rue721 June 4, 2017 Share June 4, 2017 I think Mark is being imprudent, but that's also his choice. It doesn't really bother me as a fan.

What I find most intriguing and what makes me wonder if Mark actually did get somewhat of a bum rush out is that Jared and Jensen have been so quiet about his departure, and AFAIK have made no effort to (re)connect with him publicly, even to the extent that Misha has. That has begun to make me think that they're not actually too sad to see him go, or at least are genuinely on management's side in whatever the dispute might be.

"Aspirational" implies ambitious. "Inspirational" is definitely a more positive word. Not sure what is going on with this whole story. I suspect its as straightforward as the writers decided they had no more ideas of where to take Crowley - which I actually agree has been a problem for a while, both for Crowley and Cas - so they decided to dump Crowley as the bad guy (tho half the problem has been that he wasn't that bad, except when he was truly evil (remember the ep where he killed people they'd saved?). It became very hard to track what we were meant to think of him) and replace him with Mark Pellegrino as Lucifer. Personally I think Lucifer is as played out as Crowley but that's just my opinion. Mark was initially just disappointed but then became seriously pissed because they didn't give Crowley the send off he thought he deserved, and in leading up to the switcheroo they made Crowley act like a blithering idiot (diverting Luci from the cage, all the stupid 'this is clearly going to end in tears' monologuing and gloating, followed by the inevitable (humiliating) hopping scene). Then they cut his line from the finale and made Crowley's sacrifice pointless anyway. Classic sour grapes, with some justification, but still childish to air his bitterness in public. 1 Link to comment

MysteryGuest June 5, 2017 Share June 5, 2017 Based on what Mark has said so far, I think his beef is strictly with the show runners and writers. And if they had kept in his parting line, he probably wouldn't be saying much of anything. That really seems to have ticked him off because of his t-shirt campaign for diabetes. I don't think there's any ill will between the cast members. Mark's been around television shows for quite a while, and he knows that roles come and go. I really don't get an "I can't believe they fired me" vibe from what he's been saying. Just more frustration that they didn't seem to know what to do with his character for quite a while, in his opinion. Crowley was popular though, so depending on how things go next season, there may be more backlash to come.

America is generally MUCH more right wing than Britain (please don't mention Nigel Farage!). As for Jensen's Instagram - he came to social media much later than Jared. Could be Mark didn't know he had joined Instagram. Whatever the Mark/Misha thing (if it even exists) I think a much more interesting question will be how Mark P and Misha will get on (assuming Cas isn't dead) if Mark P is to take Mark Ss place as a regular. Misha is a VERY committed Democrat. Mark P strongly holds some pretty bizarre extreme right wing views (tax is theft, democracy=tyranny of the majority etc). I know as I have had some testy exchanges with him on Twitter when I have challenged some of his opinions. This isn't the place for a political discussion, but let's just say that Mark and Misha will vehemently disagree on almost every political question.

catrox14 June 5, 2017 Share June 5, 2017 In many cases, other people post on a celeb's account like interns, or assistants or PR peopel. Jared has said that he's not the only person with access to his SM. Jensen has stated that he is THE only person who runs his Instagram, Twitter and Facebook so when he posts something it is from him and no one else. Either he's lying or he isn't. I tend to believe him because he tweets rarely and IMO his tweets always sound like him. Of course, it could be tweet bot but I doubt it. So when Jensen declared to Mark on Twitter that he was going to stop following him because of Mark's gym selfies, Jensen did exactly that. Maybe he did it as a joke or just to razz Mark a little but clearly that didn't last because he is following him again. Or he was a week ago. Maybe Misha and Mark agreed to stop following each other as a social experiment to see what kind of ruckus it caused in fandom. Maybe Twitter barfed. I don't understand why Twitter is the evidence that something is amiss, yet Instagram is disregarded as evidence that things are not amiss between Mark and his friends and colleagues. Just seems to me fans everywhere (not just here) are really looking to demonize (heh) Mark for saying what he said; to blame Misha for some kind of BTS beef with Mark which lead to Mark being angry or written out when there is not actual evidence to support this. And that J2's silence means they either do or don't support Mark. I'd be more concerned about feuds brewing between the actors BTS if they started blocking each other. But that hasn't happened. 4 Link to comment
DittyDotDot June 5, 2017 Share June 5, 2017 I don't think unfollowing means anything. I almost stopped following Misha simply because he can be a very active poster--which I'm not on Twitter very much so it can be annoying--and a lot of it is political and just not of interest to me. I couldn't do it though, Misha's too much fun. I've stopped following quite a few people I adore for that reason though. 4 Link to comment

In reality though, I'm guessing that politics is probably just as taboo a subject on the SPN set as it is in most other work places after this past election. Things tend to turn ugly fast. 1 Link to comment
Wayward Son June 5, 2017 Share June 5, 2017 (edited) In regards to Twitter! Mark has also chosen to reply to a user commenting on a political tweet from Misha. Of course, it's only related to politics and nothing personal, but the fact he was happy to do so seems to imply there is no active desire to avoid potential interaction with Misha. I confess my knowledge of American Politics is limited at best, but I think he's agreeing with Misha. So he hasn't just replied for the sake of being argumentative either. https://mobile.twitter.com/Mark_Sheppard/status/871462706141741056 Between this and his liking of Misha's instagram posts there doesn't seem to be any amnosity from Mark towards Misha. Perhaps as @DittyDotDot said it was a mutual agreement. Since both are quite active maybe they agreed to unfollow the other due to a lack of interest in the topics the other likes to put up on Twitter. That seems more likely than it being some sort of pointe move due to the social media interaction I've mentioned. Edited June 5, 2017 by Wayward Son Link to comment
MysteryGuest June 5, 2017 Share June 5, 2017 Mark actually re-tweets Misha's comments quite a bit. I'm really not buying that there's any dissension between the cast members. I think it was a management decision, and while his cast mates may have strong feelings about the decision, there isn't really much they can do about it. They're not about to leave their jobs over it. It sucks, but they've had to say goodbye to a good number of people they've liked on this show. It is rather bizarre how it all played out though. Misha supposedly knew he wasn't dying a few weeks before the finale, and Mark said that he did know Crowley was done (whether he actually knew or just had a feeling isn't quite clear) and Ruth isn't saying a word either way about Rowena. I suppose it's possible they haven't made a final decision about her status, but it does seem strange. And if they were really going for the big dramatic who's alive and who's dead ending, they didn't really succeed. Both Misha and Mark spilled the beans pretty soon after the episode aired. I wonder if Jared and Misha got in any sort of trouble for saying what they did? Link to comment

As he still follows the rest of the cast and crew (the Js, Jim M etc) that seems a pointed action. Of course Twitter has been known to randomly unfollow people for no apparent reason so it could just be a glitch. Mark also unfollowed Jensen, Rob and Rich on Twitter. He also doesn´t follow Dabb or Berens. Link to comment

I have no idea but assume you are correct that he used to follow and actually went to the length of unfollowing - he does still follow Danneel though - go figure cos I can't. I find it odd that he still follows Jim M but not Jensen, guess we probably will never find out the ins and outs. Link to comment
Wayward Son June 5, 2017 Share June 5, 2017 Has he definitely unfollowed Jensen then? My phone won't load the full list, I assume due to signal issues, but I know he was still following Jensen when I checked a week or two ago. Interesting that he chose to unfollow Jensen, but has continued to follow Jared. Link to comment

I haven't checked re the others but it is absolutely not true that Mark unfollowed Jensen. He still follows him and Jared. I checked. 48 minutes ago, Wayward Son said: Has he definitely unfollowed Jensen then? No. See above I have screenshots to prove this but they are too big to attach. So here is a link to when I Tweeted them https://twitter.com/Geordiegirl1967/status/869845737449848832 Edited June 5, 2017 by Geordiegirl1967 Link to comment
catrox14 June 5, 2017 Share June 5, 2017 From what I can see Mark follows Jared, Genevieve, Danneel, Darius Marder(Misha's best friend), Jim Michaels (who he had actual Twitter words with), Jason Manns (Jensens' longtime friend and musician). If I didn't know better I would think he's now trolling fandom. LOL Jensen follows Mark. There is no way that I know of without some apps to see when they unfollowed. Link to comment
