Well. Clearly, this is exactly how these conversations went. Because yes, now Misha gets to use facial expressions, and yes, they got to talk about God without actually talking about God, but only for about half an episode.

What I find most interesting is that apparently the logical conclusion to the pure expression of free will is a god complex.

ETA: And hey, now Sam and Cas have chemistry. The Sam/Cas shippers must have loved this episode (up to the last five minutes).

heee. I totally think Sam and Castiel have chemistry, though I have been sad in the past about how few interactions there are between the two.

What I find most interesting is that apparently the logical conclusion to the pure expression of free will is a god complex.

Well, for some people? Yes, that's Castiel's schtick, but isn't it Dean's too? I think that the point is when you give people free will, they create gods and monsters. Which is possibly why God Himself created monsters--or why humanity created God. DUDE THE SHOW IS DEEP. WHY DO PEOPLE NOT TALK ABOUT THE DEPTH OF THIS SHOW?

Oh, wow, thanks. I'm pretty new to SPN; I've hardly ever written rpf; I didn't even know if anyone would ever read this, so thanks.

“Here’s the thing with Supernatural,” said Sera. “You don’t know because you’re new. But here’s the thing: a point is best made subtly. But if you can’t make it subtly, you might as well beat it over the head until it bleeds. Then at least everyone will be amused.”

“Everyone loves Robo Sam. They love Robo Sam after they figure it out. After you explain it. That’s the thing. You can’t go for seven episodes without explaining it. It gets boring.”

How did you manage to sum it all up so simply? Is it because you're CRAZY?! lol must be to be able to produce this piece of genius. I was cracking up the entire time reading this. And I absolutely loved the last bit with Jared, Jensen, and Misha aka God XD. Now it's 330 in the morning and I can't get the image of manic Eric chugging coffee with O.o type eyes yelling 'Collins is crazy!' out of my head. This is hilarious and yet somehow manages to sum up everything I think all of the fans are thinking. Bravo!!

I'm totally crazy! I actually loved everything about the way they did Robo!Sam, and was really surprised to learn so many people had a problem with S6. But I just started watching SPN like three months ago, which means I got to watch S6 all in a row. That means I didn't have to wait that long to find out why Sam was acting that way--I think having to wait would've been torture.

Thanks so much for your comment :o)
