SERA GOT THEM BOTH but you are so right, she SOOO gets Dean. That's so funny that fandom was saying that. Well, not FUNNY, but, you know, cringey.

(I'm going to whisper here that I didn't trust Kripke at all and with a couple of exceptions his scripts weren't so good BUT HEY, THE SHOWRUNNER DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A GREAT WRITER, JUST A GREAT SHOWRUNNER AND HE WAS.)

I would be interested to hear what these dumb things were that she said. Carver says dumb things, too, and Singer; I think maybe behind-the-camera people get overexcited and blurt out something when they don't know what to say or something. Except Edlund. Dude talks like he thinks in uber-intellectual poetics.

Kripke nailed horror, and I will always respect him for that, but if SPN were stranded on a desert island I would send Sera to save it. XD

Ahaha omg, Sera. Well, the summer between S5 and S6 I wasn't spoiler-free yet, and I swear to god she just kept talking. XD I'm reasonably certain we knew the plot to over half of S6 before July was out. But she'd say things like, oh man, Dean's that guy who just likes to have fun!

And I'd be like, Sera. We're halfway through S7. Sam is Great Wall of Sam-ing it, Castiel was Godstiel and is now (however temporarily Deadstiel), Bobby's dead, they're wanted by the FBI, they have no Impala, people have expressed concern over Dean's mental health in every single episode so far, and he's expressed suicidal ideations in like, half of those--up to and including threats of murder-suicide. THIS IS PROBABLY SO FAR FROM THE OPPOSITE OF FUN IT WOULD BE STUPID TO EVEN THINK ABOUT "LIKING TO JUST HAVE FUN." XP I KNOW YOU DON'T BELIEVE THAT.

Ahhh, Sera. <3 Oh yeah, Carver totally stays dumb things, and Singer possibly the dumbest, though he often opts not to say anything at all, which I respect, baha. I have complicated, wary feelings about Edlund. XP
