I think you said it perfectly (despite the codeine!). And even if Kripke and Co. are poking a little fun at the fans, lighten up people! I was blown away by the course the episode took. I thought it WAS going to be a monster of the week. I was SOOOO wrong and glad I was. I absolutely loved how this ep fit into the mythos.
I also agree they were very specific in Dean's comments. Joking about his own full frontal was priceless. You were also right in that they did not belabor the point. To me it was a hilarious bit of exposition by showing how naive Dean was in that Sam had to explain what Slash was to him. All of which made for a wonderfully uncomfortable moment for them both. I also loved how the "porny" subtext circled back around when Dean practically ordered Sam to watch Casa-Eroctica III and calls it "normal."
Some of my favorite parts were Chuck admitting the suckiness of his own writing even as he's thinking what happens to Sam and Dean is of his own doing/creating. So, any Naysayers (is that even a word) need to shut the F up. Kripke and his gang were poking fun at themselves just as much as anything, if not MORE so. I mean, the publisher went bankrupt!
yep, we can't change the boys' fates and apparently, neither can they! A very scary bit of foreshadowing at the end!
I'm also looking forward to things as we gear up for the end of the season. What are the repercussions going to be for Sam since he realized he wasn't strong enough to do what he thought he could do. Did you notice that this is the second time in a short while where Sam is left sitting there looking a bit shell-shocked after the climax (Sex and Violence) and then in the closer scene is trying a little too hard to explain things? I think there's still a lost little brother in there. Here's hoping Dean can get that little brother back again!
