I am considering (considering) opening a topic for discussion on whether destiel will become canon in the show sometime soon.

What do you think?

Hey hun,

It's an interesting point isn't it? And you're pretty much pondering a lot of what I have been pondering.

It's IS tricky to navigate around what might be considered offensive and insensitive when discussing - hence being worried about posting such a discussion in the first place.

And I don't know where that all sits. I'd like to say it's just fun - I think most of it is. (Man, the innuendo that flies around at my rehearsals is full on - completely hilarious and we are all sharing in on the "teasing" - (a mix of straight and gay in the cast). I see the gag reels in this vein also), but I think there's some that's borderline and is perhaps crossing a fine line.

It just struck me that Richard's remark was rather interesting after what had been requested of the audience before the questions start. I know he said it for a laugh (and it got one). I dunno.

And it's there again in the show. I don't come from a background to answer or to know how insulting it is for them to continue to do that. Frustrating for D/C shippers I imagine (all the suggestions without any action), annoying for the non shippers (get on with the story and do something concrete with this relationship) and probably not even noticed by many of the audience.

It's a deeper discussion for sure and I'd be interested in hearing different perspectives on it (I haven't read all the discussion here yet, so it might have been talked about).

I also made the same point about writing such a story sensitively and convincingly to my friend. The show really isn't a romantic genre show so going in that direction would take a lot of writing/creative energy. A writer might say..."I thought we were writing about monsters, not about Dean's sexuality". Doesn't mean they couldn't introduce that element, I just don't think it's on the table with everything else they are trying to deal with story wise. At the moment I'd be thrilled if we get a solid, fabulous conclusion next episode!

Thanks for the thinky. :))
