You make the show sound so intelligent and deeply thought out.
Hey Varkelton.
Hmmm, my take on it is that there are many ways of knowing the world, some of which involve describing what is seen and some of which involve showing what is seen. In these kinds of analyses, we're describing what we know, but in art we're showing what we know. Each way of knowing the world has its own language and expertise, and accumulation of depth of knowledge with the development of the person doing it. Many different ways of coming at the same truth. I think, then, that the SPN writing staff (or for that matter, fanfic writers) have sharpened their craft to the degree that they capture the human experience as storytellers - which has just as much truth to tell as any other way of understanding the world as being able to articulate the whys and wherefores behind what makes the story a human experience.
Hmmm... not sure I explained that well. *is tired* I hope I made sense.
I hope you still intend to write more meta
Dunno. With that kind encouragement, I just might.
Thanks for all your reading and commenting, Ms. V.
