I'm just now watching the second ep... what is the thing that they've stated? Are they just never going to deal with what's causing his weirdness, or have they stated it? I'm good either way. In fact, it would be fine to not focus on what's going on if I know there's nothing to focus on. If that makes sense.

In the article I linked to upthread the creators state that one world is a dream, one is reality, and it's not important which is which.

Someone is currently trying to sell me on it as being genre because it's a thought experiment, but I don't feel they're actually experimenting with anything other than expressions of grief. Nothing to do with constructs of reality, so no, it's not speculative fiction to any significant degree.

Oh, I see. I'll check out the article. I must have skipped because I hadn't decided whether I was going to watch.

So, in Awake, as currently established, Britten is resisting trying to work out what's real and what's not. He doesn't want to believe one's a dream and one's not. He wants to maybe believe something else, but definitely doesn't want to get a definite answer, in case it's the wrong one.

Fair estimation?

Would you say that's a fair representation of a decent amount of the fandom? Like, a number of people who've read articles like the one above who keep saying "But that doesn't matter. They could change their minds. It could still be something else. It's not canon? Because I'm sure coming across a lot of people whose rejection of the creator's words sound very much like the protagonist and his therapists'.

It looks like Babs!Batgirl, Cassie!Wonder Girl, Jaimie!Blue Beetle, and Changeling/Beast Boy.

If this picture is legitimate, then the Robin in the pictures I posted above is Tim, not Dick.

Ridiculously vague, but Jared says this about next year:

"You'll see why tomorrow, but we're going to have a wonderful opportunity to see the brothers apart, and I hope, I hope, I hope we take advantage of it."

So I'll be clutching and weeping all day.

Oh, and the S8 press release which isn't spoilery probably at all, but I'll wait til after 10 today to post it in thread (inbetween my inevitable sobs):

The thrilling and terrifying journey of the Winchester brothers continues as SUPERNATURAL enters its eighth season. Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) have spent their lives on the road, battling every kind of supernatural threat. Over the years, after dozens of bloody adventures, they have faced everything from the yellow-eyed demon that killed their mother to vampires, ghosts, shapeshifters, angels and fallen gods. They even came face to face with Lucifer and the Four Horsemen in averting the Apocalypse. With the help of allies - both human and supernatural - they've discovered that every threat they vanquish opens a new door for evil to enter in. In the show's seventh season, their hunt for the dreaded Leviathans - monstrous creatures escaped from Purgatory - has cost them dearly. Claiming the life of their best friend and father-figure, Bobby Singer, and shattering their protector, the fallen angel Castiel, Sam and Dean's battle to somehow defeat the age-old Leviathan threat will take everything they've got. As dawn arrives after their endless struggle and sacrifice to defeat the world's evils, they know that, come nightfall, something otherworldly - something supernatural - will claw its way out of the shadows, demanding their attention.

"You'll see why tomorrow, but we're going to have a wonderful opportunity to see the brothers apart, and I hope, I hope, I hope we take advantage of it."

That makes me wonder if Chronos might pop back up (prior to his death, subjectively) and end up taking one of the brothers to another time. He did mention that the future looked like black oil...
