I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

ugh. WTF is wrong with the posters at TWoP? apparently people have been complaining about Bobby being in too many episodes and how ridiculous it was that he spoke Japanese. well...Jim Beaver has been lurking and posted the following:

I'm only posting this to address a couple of things I saw in the forum conversation. Someone said I've been in 14 episodes in two seasons. That's not correct. I've done 16 of the 77 episodes that have been shot so far, or about 1 out of 5. I've never done more than 7 episodes in a 22-episode season. But if it helps any, as I said, I'm cutting back. :-)

The script to "Yellow Fever" didn't have Bobby speaking Japanese. It just had a Japanese spirit infecting Dean. I mentioned to Eric Kripke that I speak Japanese myself, and suggested it might be fun to have Bobby say something in the language. To those who wonder what possible reason Bobby would have for knowing Japanese, I'd say it's probably the same reason I have for speaking it: I love languages and about 12 years ago I decided to study Japanese. Maybe Bobby loves languages, too. So blame me, not Bobby or Kripke.

Because books.

Oh, wow. How much do I want to hug Jim Beaver right now?

Also, how much do I want to go hide in a corner at the idea of any of the cast reading those boards? Yikes.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

My complaint is that Bobby isn't in enough episodes. My response to the Japanese was the same as my response to the anti-demon bunker: Cool.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Goes to sit in Ginger's corner.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Didn't he and John originally know each other as a result of being in the service? Not exactly farfetched that an American G.I. stationed overseas might learn a foreign language...

See, that's what I assumed! As an explanation character-wise, anyway. I just assumed Jim knew Japanese. Hell, the guy was writing (has written?) a comprehensive biography of George Reeves. He's got plenty of other interests.

My cousin was stationed in Japan and, yes, he did learn Japanese. Just like I learned Spanish while I was stationed in Spain. Not that I learned a lot, I have a crap ear for languages anymore, but I could hold up one end of a basic converation.

Didn't need to say it twice.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

That just makes me really sad. And suddenly I remember why I stopped reading the site until Cindy said she was writing the recap. I couldn't read it during Angel either, despite thinking Strega was extremely funny. With some of the complaints in the forums, I want to say, "stop fucking watching if it bothers you that much." Jim Beaver is in too many episodes? Yeah, he has been pretty distracting in his few minutes here and few minutes there.

I still would like to know what Bobby said.

Bobby is awesome, and any haters need to step off.
