[more explicit spoilers] Like also that might be a fakeout the -other- way but “all the dead come back anyway here’s the three main characters dealing with that. this has been episode summary” is not exactly subtle so I’m wondering if they gambled wrong re: people… looking ahead

(specifically I’m wondering if it’s too much of a leap to suspect the showrunners tried to ~learn from The Magicians’ ~mistake regarding how much suspense was valid/desirable and overestimated whether this audience would also assume there was good news behind the curtain)

I'm not too deep in the Supernatural fandom, but it distinctly seems like a show that's gone so far back up inside itself and its own fandom, it's hard to take any of their choices as being made in the sort of ordinary course.

Apparently (without knowing enough to really SAY, but just from the outside). Everything has a layer of meta and audience interaction with it, the queerbaiting & frustration thereof is just part of its thing, as much as a like, artistic choice.

Yeah, I tried to watch it with a roommate once who was super into it (she was a few seasons in) and there was so many layers of like, 'in jokes' and meta stuff that I had a hard time figuring out if it was serious or a comedy or what the fuck was happening at times?

It feels like the sort of setup that almost requires the obnoxious trope conclusion.

So the queerbaiting isn't the usual kind, that hint at same sex relationships to appeal to fans, but with deniability because you (or your network) is homophobic. Instead, it's basically parodying the fans themselves, which is mean but they all kept watching so idek.

They LITERALLY DIRECTLY PARODIED THE FANS THEMSELVES, in the Season 10 episode "Fan Fiction", where the Winchesters stumble upon a mystery involving a clique of obnoxious college theatre girls putting on their own production of a "typical" Supernatural episode
