Jensen Ackles To Make Guest Appearance In ‘Big Sky’ Season 2 Finale
EXCLUSIVE: Jensen Ackles will help bring Big Sky‘s sophomore season to a close. The Supernatural alum is set for a guest star spot during the ABC series’ season ender on Thursday, May 19. He will appear opposite stars Kylie Bunbury and Katheryn Winnick.
In the finale, titled “Catch a Few Fish,” Ackles will play Beau Arlen, who’s described as “a confident and charming good ol’ boy from Texas who steps in as temporary Sheriff (and Jenny Hoyt’s new boss) as a favor to his friend Sheriff Tubb (Patrick Gallagher).”
Here’s ABC description of the season 2 finale: “In a struggle between head and heart, final resolutions are made as Jenny works to find Travis before he reaches a dangerous point of no return; meanwhile, Ren and Jag find a new familial bond and decide together how to handle their father now that he’s crossed a serious line. After receiving a startling surprise from Scarlett, Cassie changes the course of her quest for justice forever. Later, with Tubb out of commission for the time being, a new sheriff comes to town; and after getting fully acquainted with Cassie and Jenny, it seems like he may just stick around for a while.”
Ackles, known for his long run as Dean Winchester in The CW’s Supernatural, has joined the cast of The Boys Season 3 as Soldier Boy. He is also the Principal of Chaos Machine, a First Look production company under Warner Brothers, which just picked up the Supernatural prequel series The Winchesters to series for The CW. Ackles is also developing an Untitled DC Project with Greg Berlanti and recently directed an episode of The CW’s Walker. He is repped by Gersh, Management 360, and attorney P.J. Shapiro.
Big Sky is produced by 20th Television and A+E Studios. Elwood Reid serves as showrunner, executive producing alongside creator David E. Kelley.

Writing Is Hard - The Ultimate FanFic Podcast: The Beginner's Guide: Editing Your Fic
Listen to the episode here.
Summary: Bee and Mads talk about editing your fic and the difference between Alpha, Beta and Omega readers!
(gif credit)
Episodes Masterlist
A rundown of some of the points discussed is below the cut!
In this episode, Bee and Mads talk about the different types of editors out there in the fanfic world.
Alpha readers - There from conception of the idea through publication
Brainstorming
Continuity
Characterization
Challenging you to write better in all ways
Some will even help you find appropriate art or gifs for posting
Check out the Alpha Reader Program at the @spnfanficpond if you're interested in either becoming an alpha reader or working with one!
Beta Readers - Generally only brought in after the first draft is written
Proofreading for typos, grammar, and punctuation
[Note: Although spellcheckers are great, they do not catch if you replace one word with another valid word, such as replacing 'in' with 'inn'. Word, Grammarly, and other grammar-checking programs can help a lot, but also are not perfect!]
Can sometimes help with giving you overall impressions of the story, such as if a cliffhanger or plot twist works
The @spnfanficpond also has a list of beta readers for their members
You can also check their tag #betas make everything betta
Omega Readers - Only brought in after the beta readers and before publication
Used for feedback only, like a focus group
Should tell you if a plot twist or cliffhanger works since they don't know as much about the story as an alpha or beta reader
Do not make changes to the fic.
That's it for this episode! Give it a listen and let us know what you think!

Nothing better than Dean calling Sam “Sammy”. Sam may have found it to be an annoying nickname growing up but I think after everything they’ve been through the years, it’s almost a welcome relief for Sam to hear Dean calling him that. Because it’s one of the ways Dean shows his love for Sam. The person he bought up and looked after his whole life, his whole world.

i know we have said this 1 million times before but how does a character as psychologically complex as dean winchester exist on a cw show…how does a character like that exist anywhere besides a dostoevsky novel. his delicacy literally makes me feel like i’m shattering into pieces
#he was an accident #a freak of nature #i’ll give some credit to kripke but most of the credit should go to jensen #he’s the one who fell in love with dean and wanted to give him the world - @laurelwinchester
That’s not even a lie, Kripke gave an interview where he specifically said it was what Jensen Ackles brought out in his potrayal of Dean Winchester that started to inspire their writing of the character. He specially mentioned how he brought to life the “screwed to hell psyche” that would inform that kind of character. It was something they didn’t expect at all. This isn’t the original one, which was done about mid-way through Season 1, but he saying something similar here in this 2008 interview.(Shame the current writers decided to make sure they erased that and do their damnedest to bring Dean back the stereotype he never really ended up being in the first place)
“For Dean, we were looking for Han Solo. We were looking for devil-may-care, charismatic, a little rough around the edges, a little edgy, says things that are not always the kindest thing, as long as they’re funny. And that was really what we started out with……
….For Jensen, the level of emotion and totally flawed, screwed-to-hell psyche that he brings to Dean, we really are enamored with. This idea that on the surface here’s this Han Solo devil-may-care persona, but when you really scratch beneath the surface, you see that anyone who has that persona has it because they are just so messed up, and that you would have to be so screwed up and damaged to be the person who always jumps first off a cliff.
So, he really brought Dean to life in a really three-dimensional way…
What I love is the way Jensen brought so much truth and importance to the role, I mean it’s in the writing that Dean has been through hell since childhood, but with Jensen he made sure all of that was put under the microscope. Everything that Dean goes through matters, becomes important, because Jensen makes it so through his acting, it’s in Dean’s body language, in this facial expressions, as well as the way he expresses himself. Nothing is throw away, nothing is brushed off, instead everything Dean does via Jensen is laced with meaning, and it’s been like that right from the start.
In the pilot episode, when Sam tells Dean he can go hunting alone, and Dean says back “yeah well, I don’t want to” that right there is when Dean is immediately more than just the cocky older brother. It’s a throw away line, and yet it’s quoted in posts all across tumblr and is a defining Dean moment thanks to Jensen’s delivery. It contains all these layers that were yet to be pulled back, it forces you to ask questions and want to know him more, what did he mean by that? What’s beneath the surface?
It’s also why often the show was so frustrating, because all of this extra meaning was not always picked up by the writers, sp we were often left hanging, wanting more.
For all his good looks and leading man qualities, Jensen didn’t just turn up and look pretty, instead he plays/played Dean as a character actor would, focusing heavily on the character inside and out, his mentality, his likes, dislikes, dress sense, everything and made him real.
Dean Winchester ought to be a joy to write, if you are a capable writer, and in the early days you had the likes of Ben Edlund and Raelle Tucker just relishing the opportunity to explore the character, it’s a shame the current set of writers don’t see it that way at all.
#there’s really just something About dean that elevates him #he’s beyond all other characters on spn and most on other shows too and like. it makes no sense and it’s not intuitive but it Is #and that’s why a show like spn is treating him so badly. they don’t know what the hell to do with a character like that #the reason the writers hate him is that they dont understand him. and probably bc theyre all classist #same goes for fandom #and theyre doing their hardest to stomp out that Spark but they can’t really. they can try but they can’t erase the seasons #that cemented him. made him. that made him so important to me and so many people #the dean they created semi by accident and by jensen’s influence can’t be taken from us no matter how badly they’re writing now #because we know him. because he’s touched us #and yes this is turning sappy but i mean it #this whole thing is depressing as hell but the comfort is that as the audience we can do what we like with what we’ve been given #and what we’ve been Given is one of the most wonderful heart-wrenching and evocative characters IMHO of all time #for all that he was intended to be kind of the opposite of that #it’s poetic really #i don’t think they could have created dean winchester if they had tried to #text #meta: dean #(sort of. as usual) - @tenderdean
So much all of this. Even the “been through hell since childhood”, a lot of what they ended up writing in those early seasons I think was inspired by Jensen’s performance first. I don’t think they’d actually given that much thought to the details besides John Winchester was a kind of abusive hardass. I think a lot of the Dean the caretaker they got from Jensen’s performance itself, even in the pilot you get a sense of it, at least I did, from the scene on the bridge. he’s angry, he pushes Sam against the bridge, but then he’s very quiet and almost kind of sad when he talks and immediately I was hit with the idea that Dean is used to taking care of Sam and he understands and is sad that Sam didn’t know their mother, even though he is angry to hear her seemingly dismissed.
The way Jensen would play some of those scenes about being Dad’s golden boy(as Sam called him I think in Bugs) or his response to Sam’s comment in uh…the one with Max, was it Nightmare?…Max’s father is abusive and at the end Sam says maybe there dad wasn’t so bad afterall, a little more tequila and a little less hunting they might have had Jack’s childhood and Dean gives this meaningful pause before he says “All things considered” and these things really gave the idea that it actually wasn’t a GOOD thing to be Dad’s “right hand man” so to speak and that maybe there were things that happened that Sam didn’t know about, because Dean protected him from them. That was just season one of course as things got more fleshed out there was even more of that.
I don’t know if Jensen was actually thinking specifically of what may have happened but he obviously instinctively knew that these are the sort of experiences that made Dean, Dean. Jensen knew how to give a lot of weight to what was NOT written and to fill silences with meaning.
