You guys are much more sane than I who went to a D/S place thinking maybe if the "beta watcher" is very very good, hir Alpha will let hir have watchies.

I get wanting someone to vet if you have issues with gore, violence, or scary stuff. But to wait the whole season? And also Supernatural might not be the show for you.
Now I'm wondering if there is anyone out there offering services to sanitize Supernatural. I know there was a company editing films to make the PG so people who don't watch PG 13 or R stuff could watch them. Again, I don't get this if you don't watch it don't watch it.

It'd certainly make for faster watching - what, 15 minutes per episode?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
We used to have the Atlantic Canadians, who vetted Buffy the night before US broadcast so Betsy knew whether or not to let her kids watch with the grownups. But that was just one night ahead, not a whole season.
Amy, have you--or anybody else--heard from ita? ETA: She popped up in Lit.

But you're not asking someone to watch an entire season before you'll start on it.
Well, the thing that got me to read her meta in the first place, besides being a glutton for punishment, is that she wrote the entire criticism on their portrayal of gayness and Dean's reactions to it without even seeing one episode of the season. Maybe she's one of those people who went through college and wrote papers based on Cliff Notes and things she overheard in the cafeteria?

that's the other thing - how can you base your criticism when it's all filtered through someone else's experiences.
It reminds me of this movie I saw, Metropolitan - and there's a character who doesn't read literature, he just reads literary criticism so then he doesn't have to read the books too.

On some of the boards I keep running across the term "soap angel" to refer to Castiel. From the context I can tell it's derogatory, but wtf? Where does this particular nickname come from?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Castile soap, if memory serves.
