I love Misha, but he's no fashion icon, people

What's scaring me is that the hideous blue sweater is getting more and more appealing. Maybe I could make it look good...

I want to dress like Jensen. Or, more precisely, get that leather jacket he wears all the time. And then Steven Williams' shoes.

At least they aren't copying his "I heart Justin Bieber" T-shirt.

You didn't read the whole page, then.

I like that article! I think they get the demographic wrong, but I like how they described the show. They made it sound very interesting, and they dig the ambiguity and the brotherly bond.

I did not realise SPN was the second most discussed show on TWOP. They're mostly crazy anyway. Maybe it's best the article didn't really reflect the demographic...then again, I don't know anyone who watches it who doesn't know what fanfiction is. I mean the show pretty much educates you on it.

The piece feels a little bit like something somebody got assigned to fill space, but I'm not unbiased. As we know.

And saying "In a sense all they have is each other" is really disingenuous. Not in a sense, LITERALLY. They have each other and the Impala, and that's it.

I didn't realize SPN got that much traffic on TWoP, either. I bet that's where the assignment for the piece came from.

Not in a sense, LITERALLY. They have each other and the Impala, and that's it.

They have Cas! And Bobby! Don't diss the side players.

It was written by someone who seemed only mildly bemused by fandom, and not bemused at all by the show.

I don't ask for much.

But Bobby could die! And Cas could disappear into heaven! But yes, they do count. Just ... not as much as each other and the Impala.

The series, now in its sixth season on the CW network, remains an invisibly pervasive cultural phenomenon: enormously popular and yet unknown even to many of those of us who take pride in dabbling in the literature and television of young adults.

"Dabbing in the literature and television of young adults?" So she goes slumming occasionally? Also, how invisible can a show that's on a broadcast network be? What makes her think the commenters on TWoP are all 15?

Really very. Barely anybody tunes into it. Everytime I see ratings for shows on the big three, even Fox, I'm astounded. And I get zero recognition when I mention it to people who aren't fans.

The author says fifteen or fanfiction-resonant. I know it's overstatement, but I figure it's sloppy shorthand for fandom adjacent. And I know one person outside of fandom that watches the show.

Why am I even defending them?

And I get zero recognition when I mention it to people who aren't fans.

Even my parents barely know what it is, and I TALK ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME. But they also only seem vaguely aware of the CW in general.

Hey, at least we're more visible than Hellcats. Has anyone heard of that?

Reading the 5,000+ daily posts there about how Sera Gamble is ruining the show—RUINING I say!—by unfairly featuring [insert least favorite brother's name here] at the expense of [insert favorite brother's name here] would be my guess.

Sera Gamble? Surely you mean Becky Gamble and her Sam fetish. God, I hate those people.
