Yep. Did they totally not get fandom's reaction? Maybe we all just think that the show caters to us and really they forget that we are here.

eta: Darn, now I'm going to have to be extra lenient with the episode because I'll just assume I've got it in my mind to hate it.

On the other hand the DID give us semi-naked Dean, so they do have some idea of what we want to see.

If everyone with writing credits on a bad episode was not allowed to write another, there'd be no TV left out there. Remember, people who didn't write it (like Kripke) also brought it to screen.

I'm not a fan of Kripke so I'm good with that knowledge. I still think that anything that worked with the show was either due to other people or a lucky mistake on his part. What? The guy just bugs.

If one guy had five years of lucky breaks, i want to rub his head before I buy lottery tickets. Everything that comes out of the writer's room is a joint effort, and has his smell all over it.

I'm not interested in reading interviews with him, or anything, like I used to follow Joss. But my current favourite show is his baby, and I can't not give him cred. He's to praise and to blame in some degree for everything I like about it, and everything I hate.

Even now! Well, maybe less so in S7, but all those people trying to run Sera out of town on rails neglected to acknowledge Kripke still had an influential role in the direction of the show. Yes, it's all on her, as showrunner, but it's not all all on her. There were other producers supporting her too. So to vilify her and still exalt Eric is just dumb,

Sorry. I have writer/creator issues. I needed to get that off my chest.

So to vilify her and still exalt Eric is just dumb,

I promise you that I will never do this. Heh.

With Eric, it is a irrational thing. I know he came up with great ideas for the show. But then he would do an interview and I would think, "seriously, his PA is writing his scripts, right?" I will forever be grateful to him for the show. He did, after all, write the line about the Impala being the most important thing in the universe.

Nicholas Lea will be playing Elliot Ness on Supernatural so - more time travel.

Ringer casts Misha Collins. Sounds like it could mean more than a one-time role, too.

Dude, that's totally Lite.

Should I move it? I thought if it described the role, it wasn't Lite anymore. But I'm new to spoiler world! I think this year is the first time I've peeked into either thread.
