Supernatural is in a way more memorable than Neil Gaiman because, as I just said, they are trying to do justice to these great big Neil Gaiman concepts but don't really know what they're doing and flail a lot

Gaiman has this quiet (not always deserved) confidence, like he's letting you in on a secret about the deep truths of the universe, little brush strokes that reveal grand truths This seems more like a paintball gun

Yeah, that's kind of what makes it so great Chuck isn't even as cool as Neil Gaiman, he's the guy from your undergrad creative writing workshop that wants really badly to be Neil Gaiman

My favorite SPN episode -- from before they finally made the decision that God was indeed a bad guy -- was the S11 episode "Don't Call Me Shurley", which introduced a lot of cool ideas that the rest of the season had no idea what to do with

But it's the one episode we get where we actually see the show mostly from Chuck's perspective Trying to get us to sympathize with this deadbeat dad who literally creates a bar to sit in and watch the end of the world on TV because he just refuses to take responsibility

Addressing all this fan shit about speculating whether Chuck was really God in a very blithe way People saying Chuck couldn't be God because Sam had the magic amulet that was supposed to glow in God's presence (and had never glowed in thousands of years)

Chuck just shrugs "Yeah, I turned it off I mean, I'm God Look, see, I can turn it back on" *snaps fingers, amulet glows bright as the sun*

It turns out Dad didn't "disappear" so much as just block your number on his cell

The end of that episode was this huge tearjerker, at least if you'd watched the show a long time Just once, for seemingly no reason (because of the unseen drama between God and Metatron in God's secret heaven, which is a sports bar), out of nowhere, God finally answers a prayer

The one thing we'd been waiting and waiting and waiting for The sun comes out and everything is suddenly just okay, the supernatural threat just vanishes Everyone who was killed in the episode is alive and well like nothing happened He just *fixes* it, because he always could

And Chuck just walks out of nowhere and quietly offers to explain everything

Of course, because they continued the show for four season past this, it was not to last As often happens with dads who appear out of nowhere to cover your emergency bills and take you out to a nice restaurant and offer an explanation for your terrible childhood
