catrox14 October 16, 2017 Share October 16, 2017 Samantha Highfill for EW Misha Collins, Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki The stars were given zero direction when it came to the skeletons. These poses were their idea. . Samantha Highfill for EW Misha Collins, Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki Yes, the song playing during this portion of the shoot was Michael Jackson's "Thriller." Misha Collins, Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki Fun fact: Ackles knew more of the "Thriller" dance than either of his costars. Samantha Highfill for EW Jensen Ackles Ackles was the first to arrive on the shoot. This is one of the very first shots.

Samantha Highfill for EW Misha Collins, Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki The kittens weren't exactly easy to deal with, but thankfully they were cute enough that it didn't matter.

I get his tweets sent to my phone, so even if they are deleted, they still show up on my phone feed. Absolutely not saying it didn't happen, but I never saw it. The uproar doesn't surprise me at all though - Jensen seems to be a pretty big target for all sides in the shipping wars between the Destielers and the Tinhatters. As the common link between the two, it's ironic that instead of getting twice the love, he gets twice the hate. 4 Link to comment

For instance if it was something like "Jared Padalecki is lame" "Jared Padalecki is a terrible actor" or "Jared Padalecki completely overreacted when he tweeted that persons" name then I don't think Shatner's tweet was justified and the fact it led to his followers and Jared stans attacking this person is even worse. That person is entitled to their own opinion even if it isn't one I agree with. On the other hand, if their tweets were as damaging as some of the ones I've seen against Misha such as "he's irresponsible and needs his kids taken off him" "he's abusive to children" "he's clearly the type to sexually molest costars and fan"* then Shatner's response was justified because that fan crossed the border from expressing an opinion to out and out spreading falsehood and defamation of character. He's entitled to defend his friend from comment, which if taken seriously, could lead to problems in his professional and personal life. * Sadly, I have seen these comments made in a matter of fact tone by some of the most profilc Misha / Cas haters in the fandom.

Maybe it's not quite as dire as yelling "Fire" in a theater, or letting a dog you know is dangerous off its leash in a public place, but knowing what the likely outcome of such actions will be and doing it anyway is irresponsible at best.

I haven’t and I’m curious about the wording because there’s so many versions of what happened. I’ve been nosying on Shatner’s timeline and this is what I’ve been able to gather. A twitter user called Poptivist commented on Jared’s recent angry tweet. According to those who have sided with her the tweet was simply a condemnation. Something similar to people on here commenting they don’t agree with Jared’s tweet. According to Shatner and the Jared Stans defending him the original tweet was much more malicious and referred to Jared as “heartless” and “off his meds”. So basically Shatner and Jared stans have been bickering all day with those defending Poptivist. I’d honestly never heard of Poptivist before, but apparently they’re a Destiel shipper. So now Shatner etc are claiming it’s all a big Destiel fan conspiracy to try and get the producers to fire Jared. Im curious about the wording because it would definitely affect my opinion. If it was just a “he shouldn’t have personally named someone” Shatner was out of line. But if they really did Say stuff like “he must be off his meds” then I don’t blame Shatner for defending his friend especially since that could be interpreted as a dig about Jared’s past issues with depression and mental health.

Aeryn13 October 17, 2017 Share October 17, 2017 (edited) At least there wasn`t a picture this time, was it? That makes it only marginally better but baby steps. I think Shatner is being hypocritical here. If you offer up someone by name like a sacrifical lamb to your millions of followers on social media - for the very act of that person being dog-piled, lets be realistic here - then anyone whining about you getting dog-piled? Behold the irony, dude. And we`re talking about one person here who manages their own social media vs. a celebrity who can have people in place anytime to do it for them. That`s like if Goliath had stepped on David before David could do so much as pick up a stone for the slingshot. Quote But with most of the tweets where is has named individuals we haven't been told what they did. Which is a big problem for me, too, in context. Maybe it was horrible, maybe it was something a lot of people would say "dude, get real, that is no reason to get bent out of shape". Just saying the service person sucked is quite frankly manipulative in my eyes. At least give an honest assessment for others to make their minds up about.

This seems like he's blaming Lua for where other people took her, IMO perfectly valid, comment to Jared. Lordy, if Jared isn't responsible for what his fans do, then how is this girl responsible for nasty tweets being tagged onto hers? She did nothing wrong. And she's a 'troll' for criticizing his friend. Seems to me that Shatner has no problem with Jared's tweet at all. Interesting. Edited October 17, 2017 by gonzosgirrl 2 Link to comment

I think “heartless” is twisting Lua’s “have a heart” and making it sound more insulting than what she said. While the “take his pills” was said by someone else entirely and not her fault. He’s also chosen to turn it into a conspiracy theory where no one can have legitimate reasons for criticising Jared’s brash action because if they do they are a part of a secret group with the mission to get Jared fired. @catrox14 I thought to say earlier, but I highly doubt Shatner and Misha are friends since he claims he’s all about defending friends and half the people he’s chosen to respond to are open Misha haters.

I think he is, in effect, whining about his friend being dog-piled because apparently that one person`s tweet started an avalanche or something. Which is hilariously hypocritical for him to take offense with because it is exactly that action of Jared`s that the poster took offense with also. So basically, according to Shatner, it is fine when his friend is doing it but it is horrible when another person does. And said other person was a lot more mature in calling out certain behaviour compared to "so-and-so is the most horrible person ever". And Shatner is being equally immature about it, now one person on twitter is an army of like-minded drones. We are the Borg Destiel-shippers. Edited October 17, 2017 by Aeryn13 8 Link to comment

MysteryGuest October 17, 2017 Share October 17, 2017 Whatever Shatner's motivations are, he's unfortunately just keeping it going by battling with this handful of people for days now. I don't see this really helping anyone, and it's just giving the attention seekers what they want. We've had this discussion a few times now about Jared calling out individuals by name on social media. I'm not sure why he continues to do it, but I do think it's completely wrong. Bitch about the service you received, relate the incident from your perspective, contact management to try to get them fired, etc., but do not name names on Twitter or any other social network. I'm not a celebrity with millions of followers and even I would never call anyone out by name on my Twitter account (hypothetical, since I don't have one). It's irresponsible. 6 Link to comment
