Supernatural: 7x06: Slash Fiction

[certainthings]

Things I Enjoyed:
+ The Guest Stars

Things I Didn't Really Enjoy:
+ The word "idjit"

Things That Were Alright:
+ Double Sam and Dean and Bobby

I really enjoyed the snark of the guest stars. I liked that the demon chained up in the basement was smart and snarky. And I loved the guy Bobby sent them to. "Ha.Ha. Is he always this stupid?" ... Yes, guy who probably has a name, he is.

And I sort of enjoyed seeing 'Dean' and 'Sam' murderin' folks all willy nilly. But. Their "we are bad and naughty and slightly evil" faces got a bit old after awhile. I know. Jared and Jensen are human and only have so many facial expressions. But, I have a headache and pms. So there.

I'm not sure if I liked the Doubles oh so casually talking out loud about Sam and Dean's flaws. On the one hand it was a bit amusing. On the other it wasn't that necessary.

I like that Sam found out about Amy. I did not care for his reaction.

I think that it was in character and the whole. "I can't even with you! I'm going to stomp and huff off now. Please secretly follow me and make it better."

However. What I would like to have seen is. Sam punching Dean in the face and saying something along the lines of, 'Stop, fucking lying to me. This isn't going to work if we can't talk.'

Oh! Crowley and the guy at the end (ps. where do I know him from?) I really enjoyed them together. I'd like to see more of them together.

This is the second time Dean's had to kill 'himself', right? Or has there been a third time I'm not remembering?

Aaaaaaaaaaaand. Bobby's an alcoholic? Really? I don't think so. Yes, he does drink but ... didn't he stop for awhile? I'm pretty sure he did. And I don't know if an alcholic can just STOP whenever they feel like it.

Even though there were a handful of things I disliked or that annoyed me, I really sort of enjoyed this episode.

Okay. The main point of this post is ... Why did they name this episode Slash Fiction?

Guy gave Sam and Dean the alias of "Mr. and Mr. Smith.

Of which there will be a handful of "Well, we are newlywed, Sam. Let's go have our honeymoon." fictions written. (and if there isn't, that'll be disappointing)

And then. Double the amount of Winchesters for multiple pairings and such.

Just.

Was the title meant as a free pass for all the stories that will be written.

Did they mean slash in another way?

I don't get it. Though, to be fair. I'm really glad this is the episode that went with that title because I saw the title awhile back and was terrified that it was going to be another breaking the 4th wall episode.
