Well, that's why I don't think it's supposed to be. Maybe it's just like any description of fanfiction in the wider media -- no matter how well-intentioned and balanced, it always feels like you've opened up the soft underbelly for everyone to see. Again with the mixing of metaphors. Sorry.

Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
Space promo for 4.19. Don't forget that the Canadian promos tend to be more spoilery than the CW promos.
While I was somewhat thrown out of the story by the meta elements, I thought they handled them with a gentle hand. I didn't think it was too mean or too overwhelming.
By comparison, the Stargate episode mentioned earlier was a MEGA-META, delivered with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer to the gut.
I thought the Stargate ep was way more mean, and unfunny.
Aw, Toddson COMM'd me! On my birthday! Hee.
I certainly did the "wide eyes, oh my god, they did NOT just say that," during the opening meta bits, but at the same time, I laughed like crazy.
It makes me wonder how many people watch this show who would have been completely appalled and had no idea such a thing as Dean/Sam slash exists. And then I think, for all that the show's ratings have dramatically improved, most people I talk to have no idea what it is.
I stole it for a tag, too. Happy birthday?
::mwah::
I was gonna do that!
Oh well.
We can trade off? Alternate weeks?
Hee.
That's okay. I am pretty sure it fits you better than me anyway. (because I didn't have much of that shame thing to start with, I mean)

45 long, wincing minutes of TPTB's self-congratulations, inside jokes and not-so-subtle cheap shots. I barely remember the A-story.
