Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I hate when it's people on a show I like shipping a ship I enjoy, and I need to run screaming.

I already left the entire Teen Wolf fandom because I could not deal. This is my fandom. Stop ruining it!

I mean, when we can all sit around and agree to enjoy things like this, why get stupidly partisan about shipping fer gods sake?

Because books.

Oh, that was freaky but I love that he knew she was seeing something horrifying.

The Dean who stops to fuck when he's waiting on a hellhound is not a Dean I can get behind, honestly. And he was clearly exasperated, like not now! There's this thing I have to kill, but later, oh yeah, we're totally doing it.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I can't believe no one has mentioned the miraculous moment of Dean suggesting that someone should eat a salad. (Dean must know about scurvy).

Well, he'd only recently discovered the many wonders of the tomato.

When he mentioned th 60,000 different tomatoes, I very much sympathized, as I am trying to put in my seed order for the veggie garden and it is ridiculous what my choices are, and I know that five, ten years ago, the choices were even more ridiculous.

Apparently those of us who were enjoying the sight of Dean nesting and the boys creating a home for themselves have been interpreting things entirely wrong:

I've never missed a live episode since the Pilot, and the last time I was this disgusted with the show was at the end of Swan Song. I hung in there, though, through the SG years, because of Jensen. I waited and waited to see some reason, some purpose, for Dean to be in the show. He is, after all, a co-lead. Finally, I planned to give up on the show at the end of S7, and would have had the showrunner not been replaced. After last night's episode, I'm done. There is nothing in this show for me and even JA's fine acting isn't enough anymore. Seriously? Dean Winchester has been reduced to cleaning, decorating the new digs, cooking lunch for Sam, and even doing the grocery shopping for support characters. I haven't watched this show religiously for eight years to see Dean Winchester be turned into June Cleaver. What a bunch of crap and what a complete fool I have been.

All these people who for whatever reason declare dramatically that "I'm done!" Do they ever actually go away? Does it ever actually impact ratings? Because I think I saw somewhere that ratings were up 15% or so this season.

It also cracks me up that someone who has apparently hated the show since the end of S5 decides to take two more seasons before walking away. And then DOESN'T.

Anyone who doesn't understand Dean's "purpose" in this show is not smart enough to be watching it in the first place.

Also, way to define gender roles, and demean anything traditionally female.

THIS IS WHY I STAY HERE.

Just because you stay here doesn't mean that those of us that get our feet dirty where the crazy is aren't going to track it back in here.

WE HAVE TO.

Interestingly enough, the people I'm encountering don't really seem to feel that Dean is getting short shrift--in fact, the word "nesting" is more clear evidence that he's about to bang an angel.

Because the writers are explicitly teasing them now, and everything is an obvious indication--not just that Dean is bi, but that he's going to shag Castiel. And now, if they don't do that, they're not just bad writers, they're bad people.

You know what disappointed me when Dean was cooking? That Sam was completely clueless that he knew his way around a kitchen. I preferred the fanon that had him putting basic dinners in front of a young Sammy. We know they weren't in motels the whole time--sure, they weren't in houses long enough to feel the rooms are theirs (I have a smidgen of experience of house to house bouncing, but no motels inbetween), but there are still 365 dinners a year.

While I appreciate the impact of the scene on now, I don't think it helps me understand then. And I want that too.

And, seriously, if Mommy!Dean bothers you, YOU'RE LATE.

Oh, I know. And I do like to point and stare at it occasionally.

Also, they sort of slid right over all of S6 there. Sam wasn't there, I know, but he certainly understood that Dean was domestic for a while.

I'll give Sam the benefit of the doubt in that he has years' worth of memories of cheap take-out and diner food (not to mention however long in Hell) between him and any of Dean cooking stuff for him in a kitchen.
