A Speculation: Misha's involvement in The Winchesters—based on a video of his solo panel at HousCon 2016
(for @sweetonsugden)
Almost a year ago in May, I reblogged @jenmishamiga's post about this ask:
... and I added a few things,
💬 0 🔁 5 ❤️ 12 · ‘The Winchesters’ Adds ‘Jane the Virgin’ Alum Bridget Regan in Recurring Role (Exclusive) · I was in the 'highly suspected
... the problem was that the only source I had, the YouTube video for Misha's panel, was deleted, and I was left with Kreespa's video, which did not include that section of Misha talking about his pitch, which was taken out of said video.
Then a current @/sweetonsugden's post here reminded me of an older one, post below:
💬 7 🔁 1 ❤️ 4 · Reddit - The heart of the internet · I just went down a rabbit hole of cringey J2 photo ops, antis being mean to Misha, J2
.... that I had kept in my draft folder because ... from said Reddit post, further down the threads in that post, I had found a link to another full YouTube video of the same solo panel, yay! ...
... and the drama was also talked about here on tumblr ...
Full panel:
The talked-about question starts at 33.25, and the pitch starts at 38.36.
... below is the trimmed video that shows the section about Misha's pitch to answer the con-goer who wasn't a Misha/Cas fan, and she certainly made sure that Misha knew that she wasn't one.
Misha was hilariously funny, sassy, and sarcastic but gentle. I'm proud of how he treated that fan. He stood up for himself and countered that fan's snarkiness with humor, self-confidence, and a bit of trolling and teasing her; imo, he wasn't bullying or anything.
The full transcript by Emily Rose,
... but the above-said transcript was without Misha's pitch.
I pulled the transcript for that section only, and again, the pitch starts at 38.36. Transcript:
What were we talking about? Oh, my pitch. So here's this, so it's the idea was, um, there's something going on in this town; people are killing each other. Nobody knows why, and then they figure out that there's this sort of, like, demonic kind of, um, uh, AM radio station host who's brainwashing people with some magic. And he's about to get syndicated nationally. And so the boys have to head it off before he takes over the whole country with this syndicated brain wave manipulation.

tldr;
... so @sweetonsugden, thanks for posting about that particular Reddit post, yeah; from it, I had found another YouTube video of Misha's solo panel which included what had been highly speculated by fans to be about a plot arc in The Winchesters, a spin-off of Supernatural — a pitch by Misha originally intended for the Supernatural mothership! ...
