[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?

This is what happens when the show was supposed to end at Season 5 and they just keep on renewing it until Season 15

Their big announcement that they were finally canceling it straight up said "This isn't like canceling any other TV show -- this isn't a show, this is a *community*" So, yes, entirely up its own ass, "lunatics running the asylum", etc.

Wow I’ve definitely never heard that before (I hate… ~*~community~*~) (should probably give them credit for being relatively early to the punch on that as opposed to coming in once it was thoroughly normal, groaning aside)

Love that irl institutions have a better track record with patient-run cooperative efforts (very small sample for the probably obvious reasons) than fans with the trope named after it and yet guess which one gets lauded as a goal really

It's true to a very literal extent though, like I really don't think there are many other TV series where the actors doing the convention circuit becomes this whole huge second job for all of them while the actual show is still being aired

There are people who seriously had a career based on *having been on Supernatural* but their character being cut out, *while Supernatural was still on TV*
