People are Crazy

These guys are not your therapist!

Stop dumping your shit on Jared and/or Jensen. Stop telling them your life story during a panel (or M&G). Stop getting weirdly personal and trying to continue a conversation with them past them answering your question. Stop trauma dumping. Just ask your fucking question and sit down.

I’m so sick of this shit. First, it’s got to be so uncomfortable and awkward for J2 to stand there listening, and then trying to come up with something placating to say to a stranger. Second, it’s uncomfortable for the rest of the audience who also don’t know you, and they don’t need or want your intimate details of your life. Finally, you’re being rude and taking away other people’s opportunities to ask questions as well when you drone on forever. You’re also bringing down the mood.

If you feel the need to thank them, write them a letter and give it during autos. If you don’t have autos and get picked to ask a question, keep it brief for the love of God. Example: “I’ve gone through a lot of tough stuff over the last x-amount of years, and watching SPN and you 2 have really helped me through it.” That’s enough. That’s pleamtly! And this way you aren’t making everyone uncomfortable with your over sharing, or giving J2 heavy shit to think about while they are just trying to do their jobs.

What do you think is important to know about this version of Bobby going into “Good Intentions”?

We get a hint of what his feelings were for the Mary who existed in his world that may be a little different from Bobby in the regular world because Bobby in the regular world didn’t know Mary. That’s interesting. It’s just sort of hinted at. And then we see a pretty strong reaction to Jack.

Jack does seem like the kind of being apocalypse-world Bobby would just kill, no questions asked. How much internal conflict do we see him go through to decide to help them?

Let’s just say that his first reaction is very close to what you just described. But even Bobby is capable of having his eyes opened, so I would say that things take a turn after they meet. Bobby’s first impulses don’t rule the day.

How is his help towards Mary and Jack different from how we’ve seen him help the Winchesters in the past?

First of all, it’s grudgingly. While Bobby, regardless of which world he’s in, is cautious to the point of suspicious, he’s maybe a little more suspicious in this situation. It takes a lot of convincing.

Is there freedom, though, in a new version where you’re not beholden to playing him the same way you have for 12 prior seasons?

Maybe I’m just not as optimistic or open-minded as I should be, but I tend to look at playing this Bobby as being filled with restrictions that I didn’t have as Bobby in the more familiar universe. But I’ve only played him in two episodes now, and only briefly in one of those, so it’s a little hard to say how it would feel in the long run. My own personal wish is to somehow have Bobby reunited with the boys and go on like before in some fashion, but how realistic that is, I don’t know. The biggest difference right now is really that I don’t get to work with Jared and Jensen, so just from an actor’s point of view, that’s a downside. But I do get to work with the crew, and I had a lovely, wonderful time working with Sam Smith, who I never really had a scene with before.

Where do these restrictions on this new Bobby come from?
