The poll so far: The front half of season 15

[caranfindel]

Well, friends, it's a new year. Is getting back to the episode polls one of my resolutions? Perhaps. Is it doomed to fail? Likely. But how about a poll on the front half of season 15?


[Poll #2098024]

> Dean's well-established canonical inability to sing

This isn't well-established canon, merely well established fandom myth. Fandom is apparently unable to judge whether a person is on pitch when there's no backing track. #whatswrongwiththis?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZOEfYvA7Fw

> How do we feel about Cas and Dean's wee tiff?

I'm mortally afraid it's setting up future Destiel fan service : /

[percysowner.livejournal.com]

I too fear that Destiel fan service awaits. I hope not, because that would really sour me on the series. I could almost take Cass admitting to UNREQUITED feelings for Dean, but anything other than that would make me really mad. Just say NO to Destiel.

I hope this posts in the right spot this time.

They have been saying NO to Destiel, but now it's the last season and they don't have to worry about keeping the Republican sponsors happy anymore : /

[percysowner.livejournal.com]

I'm counting on wanting to keep Jensen happy. He has born the brunt of the demands for Destiel and the brunt of being called homophobic because he keeps saying Dean is straight. I'm hoping that he keeps resisting the demands, but I do worry that he will be overruled.

We . . . ell . . . he did say he wasn't happy about the ending . . . but, hopefully, that was about something else O_O

[percysowner.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping it's about something else, anything else. I also know he said he talked to Eric Kripke and Kripke talked him around to the ending. I don't think Kripke was into Destiel. I don't think Destiel actually took over fandom until after season 5 at least not with the insane (IMHO) passion that it has grown into. But I will live in dread that I am wrong and that they are going to cave to a small segment of fans. I hope not. I already hate How I Met Your Mother for their ending and I want to feel good about loving Supernatural for all these years.

I still love the first 5 seasons, and I give 6 a pass. I deal with the rest by considering it uncanonical: just professional fanfiction of varying qualities. For me, that preserves the genius of the original canon in tact.

[caranfindel.livejournal.com]

Surely that’s not an issue. This show isn’t exactly full of “family values” even without Destiel.

[caranfindel.livejournal.com]

If the Dean & Cas make up sex option doesn't make it obvious, I should point out that my poll options are often based on what I see people talking about on LJ/Tumblr, and not my own personal opinion. I've always thought Dean's bad singing as a demon was done intentionally.

[fanspired]

Agreed. But the "Dean can't sing" myth was circulating fandom for years before D!D's drunk karaoke session, and I've never understood it. :S

[caranfindel.livejournal.com]

I thought Jensen himself said he decided to make Dean not a good singer. And honestly, in that scene from the video, he’s not what I’d call a good singer. Just your average guy who can sing along with the radio.

[fanspired]

Well, to me, it sounds exactly the same as the way he sings in concert, and everyone loves that, so . . . I dunno.
