Kripke and Gamble could by and large dance around the issue by feigning ignorance
It's a good point. With the advent of twitter the communication between fans and the producers (etc) has changed. I think they are probably still coming to grips with it and working out what should and probably shouldn't be said. Perhaps learning by experience. I think fandom has certainly been acknowledged (many times now) - I think they need to work out just how involved they should be.
I liked a lot of early Supernatural but... a progressive show it ain't.
Oh yeah. I know that - and I think there's a lot of fans who are very aware of that. It does surprise me when I read things that suggest (or confirm) that this show will somehow pave something different from normal network television. I love the show, but I know it's limitations (and er, troublesome representation at times).
and SPN has never been a romance
It's been one of my main arguments (I have had a lengthy discussion previously about whether destiel will become canon). I really want them to stick to MoTW, mystery format and not dwell on the romance side of things. It's not why I tune in. I love my genre shows being...well, the genre I love. :)
