Bardic-- what a fantastic meta! I totally and utterly agree with you about everything. I do find it sad that people will always bicker about it until the show ends. It is one of the reasons why I chose to stop watching SPN because I didn't see my Rainbow Sam and Dean anymore. In addition to the fact that the wars were way too much. Even now, when I throw in a general comment about the future of the show-- I get my head bit off for having my own personal POV :( (All I said was that I don't know what the fate of the show will be passed S10 which is a lock unless something drastic happen.)
I don't visit many fansites and stay outside most discussion; apart from my little corner here, which I share with The Winchester Family Business, I avoid the bulk of what passes for discussion these days. I refuse to let others diminish my joy in the show!
I'm really glad that you have your little corner and are able to enjoy the show :) I think that you are one of the very few who really does enjoy the show for both of the boys to varying degrees :D I applaud you for that. Even those who claim that they like both boys, always find fault in one or the other.
Thanks but I'll probably be lurking here and there lol because for some reason I still have a fondness for how SPN used to be. And I love your meta!
Very interesting. I do see that people bring their own perceptions of what the show should be into conversation. I also see it in reviews for stories--I've had that same "What show were you watching" feeling reading reviews of a fic.
I agree that arguing is pointless, but it is interesting to see what people's various takes are and sometimes it adds to my enjoyment of the character. Someone else has an opinion that makes sense, and so it gets added to head canon. Of course, when it's not an opinion I agree with, I can happily ignore it. :)
I agree that discussion is fun and often enlightening; I've learned a lot from the viewpoints of other fans. Even if I didn't agree with them, they made me think more deeply, and that is always a good thing in my eyes. I just don't deal well with the "I'm right!" "No, I'M right!" variety of "discussion". *wry grin*
Thanks, ellie! It's fascinating how much we can learn about each other from what we say about something supposedly so removed from our lives, hey? So long as we're willing to listen with respect ...
Thank you for coming by and commenting! And praise makes me blush ... *grin*
Very interesting article! I haven't given much thought to how we see the characters can be shaped by our own life experiences (maybe I can think about my life and how that relates to my opinions of the show - like how I almost always favored Dean more, for example). But they are both gorgeous indeed! :D
