Hahaha, then I'm glad I waited until, like, the third viewing for the glittering feelings to wear off a bit (not that I don't still bite my fist in joy whenever I even think about them being back, mind) before I tried higher brain functions.
Huh, I hadn't thought of that. But yeah, it must be utterly puzzling for the uneducated. Maybe they've given up on trying to recruit more viewers to their lines, or something. With the working theory of season five being the very last and the cw being as much of an ass as usual, maybe they've resigned themselves to us and no one else. Or maybe they've realized that most new viewers come through fandom first anyway (the friend of someone, a fic reader stumbling upon Sam'n'Dean fanfictional hijinks, etc.), or maybe I like to theorize a wee bit much...
(hahaha, Castiel is totally the little spoon, dood... and I'm totally fourteen) That does sound interesting, and it would parallel the whole Ruby-Sam situation rather nicely, too. But then, poor, poor Dean, man. Like, his brother betrayed him, and his new (and probably only, ever) friend was never really his friend. It would be nice storytelling-wise, with the paralleling and the whole you can only trust family shtick, but Dean would never recover, I think. Still, I'd like to see it on some level. ::does not theorize on the possibilities::
Mmmmm indeed. I can't believe I finally made a Spn post where I didn't include some drooling. I'm not sure I'm proud of it. It feels like heresy, yanno?
