One of the things about the racist truck episode that gets me is they could have done just a regular ghost truck that runs people off the road. America is not short on ghost stories about phantom vehicles that try to run drivers off abandoned country roads in the middle of the night. There was literally no reason why it had to specifically be a racist truck.

hey ummmmm FUCK bucklemming for killing eileen in the grossest, most unceremonious way

sorry to dredge this up from 2014 but I just got so pissed off with buckner/ross-lemming's season 7 return to spn on a rewatch and I need to keep this for reference.

how do you know how which writer writes Cas? like "this writer writes cas like ____". I feel this is necessary information I must know for the future. Deets! (to be honest, Edlund was my favorite writer and Cas writer hbu)

{opinions are stated here. you’ve been properly warned.}

edlund: ahh man i love edlund’s cas. he seems to understand like…the poetic balance of his character? like he understands both the peaceful and the rebellious side of cas and usually focuses on his struggles with agency and how he’s fundamentally different from other angels. he usually gets the perfect balance of writing cas with gravitas (as a character with inherent importance) and enough slightly-off humor to make him endearing. uwu.

berens: kind of similar to edlund. understands cas on a fundamental level and writes him with his own motivations; understands cas’ love and connection to humanity and also his obligation and love for his own family. his cas eps i thought were the strongest of this season (9.06 and 9.14) where we were actually given some interiority into cas’ struggles as a human and his struggles with morality in trying to organize the angels.

thompson: i’ve talked with some people about this and like, i really really like robbie thompson as a person and a writer and i think he really likes cas but i don’t think he really understands cas. usually he writes him as a little too quirky for my taste? but i think he fundamentally understands cas’ love and affection for the winchesters but i usually find the humor to be a little light and off. (8.17 cas calling his head a “noodle,” or comparing humanity to a peanut butter sandwich in 9.11. i think some people might like that but i find it a little ooc)

dabb: dabb is like kind of shitty in some regards (women. i mean women.) but he’s actually a relatively strong writer for cas? like he almost always focuses on cas’ loyalty and protectiveness of dean in his episodes. dabb is one of the most deancas-centric cas writers i think? he also understands that cas is his own person with his own history and motivations (like when he got pissed at gadreel in 9.10, etc) which is always good.

buckner/ross-lemming: the worst. the fucking worst. don’t understand cas at all, make him into a dudebro with dudebro humor when they can, or they forego correct characterization for the sake of moving forward plot (asking dean to torture just to have an episode conflict will like forever be on my shitlist for multiple reasons). literal no conception of who cas actually is. retconning x10. -20/10. the fucking worst.

carver: generally pretty good cas writer? usually writes him with his own motivations and treats him like an actual character and not a plot device. 5.03 is one of my favorite eps and i think he really nails cas in that one. ;u;

glass: has written one episode with cas and i think he generally doesn’t give a shit about him

klein: has also written one episode with cas and focused on cas watching porn for humor so i don’t trust her (i lied she’s written 2 with cas and in both focused on cas/porn for humor. double nope.)

Before my life is over, I want to live it.

So right!!!!!! Dean is a nerd and he READS!!!!

[ardentpoop]

prophet and loss could’ve been a good episode if literally anyone else wrote it.

"LOTUS is a good title actually" it means Lucifer of the United States.

[segernatural]

like how am i supposed to take this

[hellerism]

bobo: i have canonized this years long love story and if we stick the landing with the last two episodes we could go down in history as having done something really beautiful and poignant

buckleming: lucifer calls michael a cuck

my husband is a certified buckleming hater 😎 and I quote: "they write everyone out of character and make shit up just to see what sticks"

Rowena has changed so much. Her emotions are so much closer to the surface in later seasons and—

:-D

:-D

extremely conflicted with taash because i want soo badly for the potentially trans companion to be my favourite but trick is probably my second least favourite writer on dai. and that's basically the very bottom considering how bad kristjansen is.

[imjuststiney]

I need to know who wrote Buckleming's episodes in S8.

There's no way they ACTUALLY did bcuz 3 of the 4 had some of the most memorable Destiel scenes/lines AND outside of that were really good.

BUT of course they blew it w/ the racist, sexist, disgusting 'Man's Best Friend w/ Benefits' that no one would ever question the authenticity, bcuz they CLEARLY wrote it. 🤢

I MEAN FOR REAL!?

We're supposed to believe that all of this happened in a "Buckleming ep"!?

Dean may have gaslit himself to deal with losing Cas; but that DEF won't work on me!!!

AND THIS FREAKING EXCHANGE IN TAXI DRIVER.

NO FUCKING WAY DID BUCKLEMING DO THIS!!

😭😭😭😭😭 11 years and I have still not recovered from witnessing the exact moment Dean's heart shattered into a billion pieces at Naomi's bullshit words. His face was literally the epitome of that one Ralphie Wiggum from the Simpsons scene.
