Just a few things.
First Jared did announce at his first Meet and Greet that he's not doing Asylum Birmingham or Manchester or Germany. He was a little taken aback when people in the room said that he was on the con websites and listed as attending. He stated quite clearly that he never signed on for any of those cons after committing to Rome and Brazil. He knew they (he and Gen) were pregnant and knew that he'd want to be spending his break from filming with the baby and his wife. He had already signed for Rome and Brazil before the pregnancy was confirmed so he honored his commitments there. Which frankly after hearing his story in the Meet and Greet about how he flew in late to Rome because (and he swore Thomas planned it just like this), he was driving to the airport and Thomas was with them and he was smiling and watching Jared whenever he talked and he wasn't crying or pooping so Jared turned the car right around and rescheduled his flight for 24 hours later so he could have these moments with his son. Seriously - ADORABLE MUCH JARED? MAKE ME CRY I DARE YOU! So I was a little surprised (and subsequently quite grateful to him) he didn't cancel on Rome and Brazil after that story. But Jared never signed contracts for UK or Germany cons.
Secondly no one booed Misha - seriously. (If my eyes roll back any further in my head I'll rival Sam's skills). Jensen on his own, on stage today, asked the question about would we want to see Castiel come back - just off hand jokingly and he got a mixed response. That is all. He was a little surprised as he thought the Castiel love was unanimous. He got some nos! thrown in there with the yeahs! I don't know what the mix was (to be honest didn't really care - people are allowed an opinion fandom!) And just because they don't want Castiel back doesn't mean they are haters or hate Misha. It just means they have an opinion. For my part I am entirely neutral and just happy to see what way the show goes. I think Castiel has definitely added to the show but really any well cast guest star who recurs could have just as positive impact. Felicia Day could totally rock that recurring guest star role. Pretty sure, that whilst surprised, Jensen didn't feel that Misha was being disparaged in any way shape or form. Pretty sure Misha was sleeping whenever he wasn't doing anything...which is what Jason mentioned that morning in his Q&A...so I'm quite sure his fragile and delicate ego will survive this unconscionable attack on his self esteem.
There were a few things Jared said in his Meet and Greet that had my ears tuned quite intently to his words though, as they were not expected. But like I said I'll relate those at a later point when I've had a chance to transcribe my mental notes.
Oh and I have to say I rather enjoyed the ego check for Sebastian in the Richard/Mark/Sebastian panel when Richard did an impromptu scream-o-meter reading on the popularity status of the three angels, Balthazar, Gabriel and Lucifer. Balti was definitly third out of three much to Sebastian's surprise. Lucifer won by a landslide and Gabriel was second. Sebastion looked a little put out by this, and announced that this was a humbling moment for him and that his dick had just shrunk by about 10cm as a result. Mark Pellegrino just looked appropriately and serenely smug.
Right I'll start wading through and editing my pictures now. To be honest I was a little disappointed Jensen kept me from missing the start of the Jared/Misha panel damn him and his mesmerising voice and intelligent answers and stupid pretty face. It does mean my Sunday pictures are VERY Jensen heavy. Very few pics of Jared today.
