White Collar 301

It was a good episode, but I liked 201 better...

Jim Beaver and Supernatural

I hate it very much when so-called fans sling mud at the writers/producers of SPN because of... basically everything. The latest bruhaha in the fandom? How disrespectful it is towards Jim Beaver that he hasn't been made a regular yet. Luckily, this article came out immediately and nipped this stupidity in the bud!

[Jim Beaver] tells us that he was once offered series regular status, but that the offer made wasn't substantial enough to offset the cost of relocating his family to Vancouver on a permanent basis, so he didn't accept.

"Every season since, we discuss it, but at present it seems that the existing situation is the best one we can agree on," Beaver tells Zap2it, assuring us that he's comfortable with his place in the "Supernatural" universe. "I'm not unhappy, and the show is spectacularly respectful of me and my needs, and I think they'd give me anything I ever needed if they had it to give."

The rally cries of support for Beaver don't go unheard or unappreciated; they're simply unnecessary. "I appreciate the fan support on this issue, but it's not true that I'm being disrespected or unfairly treated by being a guest star," he says. "Quite the contrary. Supernatural has been incredibly supportive and generous and kind to me, in every possible way, and our current contractual relationship suits me fine."

So, can those "OMG, he's so disrespected" nutjobs finally shut their collective trap? Or will we now hear about how he was forced to say it to keep his job? *hands*
