Ben's personal Twitter Sessions; May include mild s4 spoilers
Topic Started: Mar 28 2013, 04:45 PM (76,698 Views)

First of all, I think its incredibly kind of Ben to make such an effort for us, especially since its his hiatus, his break from the world of Rookie Blue and on a more practical sense, its not like there is something to promote right now. I doubt there is anyone asking him to do this for PR sake or whatnot. Its purely that he feels the need to. In one of his tweets to someone last Thursday he said that he has just as much fun as we do. For as much as I think the scales are largely tipped in our favor, it does seem like he enjoys the banter. I adore his openness and playfulness and dorkiness too.

NOW.... I did tweet to the Rookie Blue Support people before last Thursday's session how great it would be if fans thought to ask a question with their Hello vs. send a bunch of Hi's which his silly self feels the need to reply too. I tweeted it to the @RB_Anon folks expecting that they would Retweet and at at least the core fans would see it and hopefully take the suggestion on board.

LAWoman, I saw that you had done the same and didn't realize that you got any negative flack for that.

It just makes sense.. we have an hour or an hour and a half with him depending on when twitter jail locks him up or when he has to go. Lets make it count... lol!

Perhaps if we can get the message across to the core group of people that always join for Ben's chats, then at least that's some progress.

I feel like the issue is that it's not necessarily anyone's job to police or moderate fans' interaction with the stars. If Ben doesn't want to say hi to a hundred people, eventually he'll stop. And suggesting is one thing, but some of those fans would rather just get a "hi", and I don't think they should have to limit their preferences or desires for the whole. Especially since a large percentage of these fans do NOT participate on this board and might not understand a group approach to this thing.

Twitter is a place for fans to Interact with their favorite actors and I think they should have the freedom to do that however they choose, as long as they aren't hurting anyone.

My thoughts were not an effort to police anyone actions or control how people communicate. Wasn't attempting to tell people what to do. Just thought a suggestion that would allow more people a chance to be heard and get a response might be something we all would want to afford fellow fans.

I actually didn't tweet him at all this last chat because I wanted to give others a chance.

One thing that annoys me is people asking him specific questions that he can't answer about s4. I think it probably gets tiring trying to find ways to not tell people things he's not allowed to say.

But I agree twitter's a free place so people can say whatever they want.

Figuring out exactly which questions to ask him can be tough. In the past I've seen people ask very general questions and he's asked them to get more specific. But if you get too specific, it's impossible to answer because it would give away too much. So, fans just have to hope to come up with a question that's not too general or too specific.

I had no idea he asks people to be specific. And I wasn't even referring to any one person in this haha. I just mean in general.

Oh yeah, I know you weren't talking about any one person. I just wanted to share why some people might be asking more specific questions.

It was back early in filming S4, maybe before S3 ended when he was on twitter. People were asking very general questions and he asked them to be more specific so he could answer them - I can't remember the exact questions though. :)

I still haven't forgot that theory. You described it perfectly. I always think of your theory when I think about that look on his face.

Sorry if people thought this was something new from Ben's twitter but I don't have twitter and maybe more people would like to know about the scene in episode 3.11. The scene where Sam asks the keys of his truck back from Andy.

This is a quote from Sheriberi a different thread and I thought it could be a question for Ben if he decides to do another twittersession:

"I know that giving Andy a key to his truck seemed like a small thing but I thought it was a HUGE gesture coming from Sam. I think that was like giving her a key to his heart. Which was why is was so painful when he asked for it back. It wasn't just about returning the key. It was more like a symbol that he didn't love her anymore, which really wasn't the case. I think he wanted to talk to Andy but chickened out and then couldn't think of anything else to say. So he said the first thing that came to his mind, which was to ask for the keys back, which was stupid and hurtful."

What did Sam want from Andy in that scene because I did get the feeling he didn't really want to ask for his keys back.

Edit: Would just like to know what Ben's thoughts are about that scene because he gave a pretty sweet answer to a similar question about a scene with Sam looking worried when he's sitting on the couch with Andy.

Ben did confirm that that wasn't what Sam wanted to ask/say. I'm pretty sure he just wanted to TALK to her, or ask to talk about THEM, but chickened out. It would be great to get his perspective for sure though :yes:

LAwoman, are you one of the people who has asked questions to Ben and Tassie among others on twitter? If so, would you ask Ben the question I posted above if he does come back on twitter? That would be really great? :flower:

I tried, but I got on late, and I think he got tired and called a halt before he got to it. Maybe he'll answer tomorrow?

I'm gonna post a little plea, that might not really be a plea so much as educating/informing people who aren't used to twitter. :flower:

I noticed a bunch of people tweeting Ben the same questions over and over. I got the feeling they thought he was ignoring them (some even then tweeted him saying that), but at the time he was still working on replying to tweets like 20 minutes earlier.

From what I can tell based looking at all the tweets to him (you can do that by searching @BenBassOfficial to get a hint of what he faces when we all throw questions at him :D ), he responds to each and every tweet, even if that person just says hi. So, he's not ignoring people, it just takes a long time to reply to all those people.

So, I hope people can be patient. Tweet your question and hope he answers, but don't tweet it over and over and over. It's really luck of the draw in how many tweets he's able to reply to based on how many people tweet him and how long he's online and if twitter is cooperating. And if he doesn't ask during one tweetfest, ask the question during another. :D

ETA: I realize that not everyone on twitter is on here, but just thought I'd at least reach everyone here. :)

I don't know which part I like more; the part where he says he thinks so or the part where he says Sam hopes so!
