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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.

All throughout Season 8, I yelled "Flashback Face!" so many times. Dean or Sam would get that look, and then flashback (to either purgatory or Amanda). I went from finding it slightly annoying to hysterically funny.
I'm not sure that was the effect they were going for.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I have to say that I deeply liked Benny as a character. Or maybe I just found the actor portraying him appealing.
Metatron I hate because he is deeply annoying, and there is no joy to be had in hating him. There is only hate. And annoyance. I do not love to hate him. I despise his very existence, and his continued existence and usage. Maybe I'm shallow and wouldn't mind him so much if the actor were attractive, or maybe I'd still hate him then too. I can't quantify how much or why I hate him as I do, as a character and a story arc. Other than, as an angel and the voice of God, he still doesn't make sense to me. He's far too petty and human in his motivations.

Your Metatron is my Crowley. I'm so over Mark Sheppard in general (outside Leverage), and Crowley in specific.

What's the ep where Jo plays bait and is dressed in a black dress?
It's Season 5: Abandon All Hope

I think the Chuck-as-God question was answered in ep 200. Canon set up that Chuck had to be dead for Kevin to have been "activated" as a prophet. But with Chuck's surprise reappearance after fading away in Swan Song, I took it as a canon confirmation of Chuck!God.

Really? I thought it was the apartment building episode.
Will rewatch tomorrow.

Shit, I think I've had Up On Cripple Creek's chorus stuck in my head for more than a month now.
Thanks SHOW.
