No, I agree with what you're saying. I would not be able to handle the intrusion AT ALL. I'm afraid Misha, what with his twittering and all, is going to be on the receiving end of that type of fan hysteria as well.

Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
Certainly at the moment he seems to be basking in it, which is nice, but, yeah - I do get this whole sense of impending doom. Seriously, mate - do not feed the fangirls. I'm half expecting someone to throw fake pony blood at him, a la Carrie. Or turn up on his doorstep, the way they did with Hewlett. It does feel a bit like an accident waiting to happen. (And, God help me, I am totally sucked into the Twitter thing.)
otoh, I should think that the Js are probably relieved to have some of the attention shifting off them.

I finally discovered the immense value of Twittering in breathtakingly painful business meetings. Extremely therapeutic.

It is more socially acceptable than lunging across the table and beating someone into blessed silence.
But is it more satisfying?

No. Too bad it's not acceptable to list "did not kill anyone" as an accomplishment for my trimester review.
I was watching a televised Simon and Garfunkel concert in Central Park, and a fan came flying up onstage. I have never seen a look of fear like Paul Simon had on his face as she barreled toward him. She only wanted a hug, but realistically, she could have had a knife, or been psychotic on drugs.
Speaking of not acceptable, I'm still boggled that people would think that jumping on the object of their fannish attention is in any way okay. I wonder if it's that some otherwise sane people's emotional investment in characters/actors/what-have-you gets strong enough so that on some deep, lizard-brain level, they expect that their intentions and feelings must be acknowledged. Some fans seem to react to requests for privacy the same way I might react if a friend tried to shut me out of his or her life.

This!

Particularly if you listed it as an objective and didn't exactly "meet" expectations. ;-)
They just sweetened the pot. [link]
Fans will be offered guided tours of the Supernatural standing sets where they will witness the exceptional quality of detail, workmanship and artistry spread over three enormous sound stages. Tour guides will be members of the Supernatural production team, escorting groups through sets as well as production areas including props, wardrobe, and workshops. Actual hero props including the Winchester Colt and Sam and Dean's shotguns will be on view.
Now here's the big one: fans will get a once in a lifetime chance to have a photo taken with The Winchesters' famed black Impala. This treasured keepsake will be provided as part of the tour and delivered to participants prior to the close of the convention.
Dude who cares about seeing the actors? Set tours and photo op with the Impala. I should go right? But I can't. But I want to. But I cant.
