Another anonymous source sent me some sweet meet & greet tidbits, this time from Jared's at the Denver convention, about Walker, the finale, and J2.

Transcript (Walker):

Earlier: a fan asked about what Jared had learned and taken from the SPN set. Jared answered that he'd learned that 14 hour days weren't necessary, and said that they'd only had a handful of days where they'd worked more than 10-12 hours straight. He mentioned that it's nice to be the EP, because when an actor complains about another shot, it's just whining but as an EP everyone's just like "yes sir" and they move on.

He also talked about the atmosphere on set, and how he wants it to be lighthearted and fun, because everyone should be doing something that they love. Some people are reluctant to include him in jokes and pranks because he's not only the lead but the EP, and he is working hard to make sure everyone knows he's someone they can joke around with and prank and treat as a fellow coworker rather than just the boss.

Transcript (the finale and the Samulet):

This was towards the end, so Jared's answer was a little quicker than I feel like it might have been otherwise (he refused to leave before everyone had a chance to speak to him, even though his handler tried to pull him away twice).

A fan asked about the amulet, and why Dean wasn't wearing it on the bridge. Jared replied that there were a lot of things that they wished they could have included, but that would have made for a 20 hour episode. They DID talk about having Dean wear the amulet, but in the end they decided that it's meaning had changed because of it's new purpose and so left it out. He was also then quick to add that he did still have it at his house in Austin, which made me feel that he wanted us to know that it still had it's original meaning for HIM.
