That looks like even more of a detectable change than Gamble. Sadly I can predict some people's response--happy to get a Destiel shipper out of the writers room. Also, he's cracky and they'll be glad to see his tone gone.

I like Edlund. I see Sera's absence as more an overall tone shift, but Ben leaving that we won't get any more of *those* episodes. I find it hard to project his general influence, but he certainly has a distinctive voice.

Oh, excellent! They had too many Bens as it was. Balance redressed.

I'm glad, too. I got the impression (right or wrong) that fandom frightened Acker and Blacker, and then they only wrote the one episode. Not a great fit, probably.

Edlund, on the other hand, is a treasure.

I guess I won't miss them - they wrote the one episode I haven't seen, which hasn't been rerun as far as i can tell.

I didn't mind The Mentalists, but it's definitely not a favorite.

Ben Blacker tweeted that the Edlund rumor wasn't true.

That's what Amy links to.

I set myself a challenge at the start of each month--try and work out how to find the picture for that month in the SPN calendar by a google search (as opposed to finding the right screencap by other methods).

No go this month. It's Sam and Dean walking through the dragon's lair and stumbling upon the gold on the ground. So, yeah, if I go look through "Like A Virgin" screencaps I'll find it. But that doesn't count. June's a bust.

Also, looking at future months is cheating.

I am admittedly bad about quitting while the going's good, but I do think it's clear that the story with this in it isn't going to do anything for me. In any way.

Sam Winchester, who had been raised a hunter was copulating with a demon, who knows, probably fucking her too

That makes me very curious as to what exactly the author thinks copulating means...
