What is it called when you want to use pieces from both universes? Like, Sam and Dean would be Sam and Dean as we known them pre-series, until the flu hits, but some SPN characters I might transplant into the Stand 'verse (Cas, notably). Is that still a crossover?
Just curious, really.
It's been a long time since I posted in here. Season 2 went sort of slowly for me and it took me forever to finish it but I'm very close to being done with Season 4 (just finished The Rapture) and S3 and S4 flew by.
I wish I had something genius to say about the show, but I'm just loving it. There have been so many moments (like the ep with the newly-found brother) that sort of held a mirror up to the show and let you see how truly fucked-ed the boys have become. Or their lives. And I have to admit that I love it. The show really brings the pain, doesn't it.
I'm curious how fandom reacted the Prophet Chuck episode and Sam and Dean finding out about slash and so on. Personally, I thought it was delicious, but I seem to remember some kerfuffle about the writers not respecting the fans wrt SPN. Or maybe that was something about a con?
Anyway, in summary: love show.
"The Monster at the End of This Book" is one of my favorite episodes but I seem to recall some people taking issue with the broken fourth wall-ishness of it. I get 95% of my Supernatural fandom right here so I tend to miss the kerfuffles.
Some people regarded it as a breach of the unspoken "thou shalt not mention Wincest" contract between showrunner and fan. There was a roundly mocked cartoon made up of the woe of a woman being outed to her husband as a slasher, and the problems it would cause her relationship.
Annalee, tsk, tsk. The French Mistake is not the future or an angel creation. It is an alternate dimension.
For sure not angel created? So there is a reality where Supernatural is a TV show that is not the reality we call RL?
It's an alternate reality.
that bugs me. I want that dimension to have been created for the boys and to have disappeared when they were gone. Maybe I haven't embraced the meta-ness of recent seasons as much as I thought.
I think it has something to do with how I feel about RPF. As if it's OK for to find out our fictional characters are written about by other fictional characters, but then to have the actors playing the actors who play the fictional characters... it must be an emotional thing because I'm having a hard time finding a rational argument.
