And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

I vastly preferred Gabriel as a Trickster to being an Archangel. Have not gotten over how much I dislike the portrayal of Metatron (it's so wrong that he was taking dictation!SO WRONG!)

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

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to get past Mystery Spot, in all honesty.

How do you think Metatron was supposed to be portrayed?

As the Voice of God, not a scribe, basically. It just sticks in my craw.

So your stance is that he spoke for God, not repeated/transcribed what God said?

I can't see Show going to full fledged Word of God while the Chuck question is unanswered officially.

Repeated is fine, it's the writing down I object to.

Possibly pretty far from rational, but I can't always choose where I draw my lines.

Chuck, for example. I will never accept Chuck being God.

Kripke has said so in interview, but it doesn't count if it's not explicit onscreen.

I'd be surprised if they went there solidly before the end of the series.

Yeah, I know he said so, but it offends my sense of How Things Should Be too much. Even if it clearly becomes canon I cannot get on board with that.

I think it's hysterical that they wrote themselves as God and shipped them/God with the audience, but I admit that's irrelevant to worldbuilding protocol.

My problem with it is that it reads like a retcon, not anything inherent in the premise.

That is part of my problem with it. The retcon-ness, that is. You are absolutely right that the meta/ship is pretty funny. I can appreciate that.

I think it's interesting, but it's messy. But then again, I think Kripke was plenty messy and don't get the "Show ended with S5, the rest is fanfic" position. S1-5 were plenty messy too.

I wondered if this tumblr would be interesting, but mostly I think it's creepy: [link] -- I'm wincing at most of their hypotheticals.
