[raloria]

After seeing the following spoiler show up online...

Question: I need me some Supernatural scoop. —Natalie
Ausiello: Body swap alert! Sam and Dean switch bodies in episode 12!

I immediately thought of when it was mentioned at VanCon. Actually, Jensen was the one to bring it up!

My own rough transcription from lilbearblue's YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeJe1iLylYM

Jensen: Have we ever traded roles?
Various no's uttered in the audience.
Jensen: We haven't have we? Why did I bring that up?
Jared: Have we not, at all? (asking Jensen)
Jensen: No, I'm surprised.
Calls of "body switch" coming from the audience.
Jared: Was that an episode? (asking the audience)
No's coming from the audience.
Jensen: Terrible idea. Awful idea.

Jensen had stated earlier that Kripke & the writers are usually 5 or 6 episodes ahead of what they're filming.
So I checked my SPN Season 5 Titles & Filming Dates post and they were filming 5x06 "I Believe The Children Are Our Future" during the convention. What is the 6th episode after that? Why 5x12 "Swap Meat", of course! :D

So did word get to Kripke about this body swap idea being brought up at the convention? Did it prompt this aspect of the episode???? Seems like quite a coincidence to me. ;)

Edit: Just remembered that a lot of the SPN crew were in the audience that day, even some of the producers. I'm thinking this further backs up my theory. ;)

Edit (again): I realize the body swap idea has been brought up before at other conventions, but the timing of the crew being in the crowd at VanCon 09 is crucial IMO. I don't honestly believe the guys remember from con to con what they're asked by the fans and I highly doubt that Kripke is trolling youtube to check out convention videos. Producers from the show were in the audience that day. Maybe Jensen bringing it up & the crowd's enthusiasm sparked them into mentioning it to EKrip. The writers were working on that eppy, 5x12, at the time (or were about to start it) and they thought they'd stick a body swap in there. I'm not saying this is what did happen, I'm just saying this is what might have happened with the crew being right there to witness it being brought up.

I can almost hear Jensen going "Dammit, Kripke!" now. Heehee! :P

Seriously, if this spoiler is true? I can't wait to see how this body switching idea plays out. *squee* :D
