I wonder if Dabb as a person has a really wry tone of humour that comes off badly?
idk, I try to give the benefit of the doubt in such cases, but every time I've seen him on video his jokes all feel razored to me. I know the main cast roasts each other all the time, but that has a foundation of affection that is imo missing here. You know how sometimes you'll be around a couple and one member will make 'jokes' at the other's expense that are clearly part of an ongoing argument, and you just think 'yikes' and back away slowly? It felt kind of like that. :-/
would Destiel have happened all the way if Carver had stuck around???!!!
I have wondered this often!! I mean, still probably not, but I would love to know if perhaps Carver wanted to make things gayer. He was notoriously the one who told Misha to play those human!Cas gas station scenes in S9 like Dean and Cas were 'jilted lovers.' But I have also tortured myself often with the idea of how much better the last few seasons would likely have been if almost anyone other than Dabb (except Buckleming) had been promoted to showrunner. Robbie Thompson was my fave writer, but Berens was on staff then too, and they both loved Cas (and probably shipped it tbh). Anyway, Kripke's tenure was also good since that was OG SPN. imo S4-5 and 8-9 are the best stretches the show has. S7 is still the worst, though the series finale alone is probably enough to make S15 the runner-up.
IS THERE NOT SUCH A THESIS ALREADY?
I feel like there must be, but have not yet managed to lay eyeballs on it; perhaps it just finds you when it's most needed.
I have literally never even heard of this Walker show before this last week... Hope it tanks!
lol well he's rebooting Walker, Texas Ranger on the CW, so it probably will.
However, that contradicts Jensen's own statement that there WAS more to Dean's reaction that was cut.
I should've been more precise; Misha said that there was no earlier version of the script where Dean had said 'me too,' not that there wasn't a longer cut of the scene somewhere. (Like on Jensen's phone, which I hope he has backed up in multiple places.) So fandom is still upset over the finale, Misha tried to fix it and is now sad as well, and unsurprisingly, no one who was actually at fault for any of this seems to give a f*ck. Happy holidays to everyone who actually cared about the show, on both sides of the camera, basically.
Happy (belated) Thanksgiving if you celebrate! Only 5 more weeks of 2020 to go, haha sob.
