Dean's Missing Ring Question Answered

[raloria]

Yay!!!! So somebody did ask about the ring at the breakfast this morning at LA Con! Sweet!

Thanks to a_way_of_sin for typing up the answer from the audio. :)

What happened to Dean's ring? "There was an opportunity at the beginning of the season to kind of lose the jewelry. He lost his watch, he lost his uuhh...his necklace obviously went to Cas. Here's the thing with the ring, the ring was a really, for me, it was Dean's beer bottle opener. Whenever Dean opened a bottle it would just scrape off the ring, it got beat up." He also cut himself apparently. "So once they were losing the watch and I was like, you know what, let's get rid of the ring. This is the Apocalypse. So I just lost it, it was like let's get rid of this we've had it on for 5 years" They got rid of it after episode 4 The End.

Well, okay. First of all, I don't see where he lost his watch. Maybe he's confusing it with the bracelet? Kinda sounds like a flimsy excuse ("This is the Apocalypse") and I wish they'd at least given some reason on the show for it being gone. However, I can understand if Jensen was simply tired of wearing it, especially if it was getting all beat up and cutting him. Ow. You'd think the props dept. would have extras. Anyway...*sigh* it's an answer.

I still miss the ring, probably always will. It was as much a trademark of Dean as his leather jacket.

I sense an "Ode to Dean's Ring" picspam cropping up in the near future.

Btw, big thanks to whoever it was at the Con who asked the question. *hugs* :D
