Like we need more places to read about SPN, heh...

...and I need another thing to do, but I've volunteered to write the odd article about Show for a site called SPNHunters. My motives are a little biased, I'll admit. I've noticed a distinct lack of quality attention paid to our boy Sam, from both fandom, show, and social media outlets. I could whinge about it endlessly, but I decided to put my

Going back to Sam's smarts - without re-watching the episode, why did they need to kill that demon's vessel? Or did they know Eunice was already dead so it was the only way to be sure of killing the demon?

For your future topics, do you have to coordinate with other writers on subject matter? There seem to be a lot of articles, it's hard to pick something...
Some possibilities:
- Something about what motivates Sam and how is it different from what motivates Dean? And how those motivators might have changed over the seasons.
- Rock paper scissors!
- Dean's relationship with Crowley
- Possession and all it's baggage (angel and demon)

Dean told Mrs. Tran they figured Eunice was already dead, per the show. Not sure there was any concrete proof of this, save past experience, but yeah, you got it.

I don't have to coordinate topics, but there's a spread sheet so we all know what's in the works. Many are the standard episode reviews. I kinda wanna get more meta than that.

Thanks for the topic ideas! I'll put 'em on the list.

Yes they look to be lacking in thought provoking meta. I read one piece about a plot hole that made it sound like there had never been on before! LOLx100k at that.

The articles are supposed to follow certain protocol, which includes short, snappy paragraphs and reiterating your key words over and over. Which isn't my style. I won't get overly deep in the articles--the site style doesn't suit tons of reading--but to operate as though fandom hasn't thought about plot holes before? I don't think they guy who wrote it is actually IN fandom.

I kind of got that impression myself. I understand that people think that audiences can't concentrate long enough to read a long article, but to think that someone reading needs stuff repeated is bollocks. That's a ploy used on television (in documentaries mostly) where they are assuming people will be interrupted by adverts every five minutes so need constant reminders of what the bloody show is talking about.
