I loved seeing Jody again, and really enjoyed her scenes with Sam. She even got to slay the monster! Awesome

psst, hey colls, I was wondering...something you said maybe, or I don't know, I just got a feeling, but I went back and re-read the threads, because I was wondering if you'd abandoned captaining this show because you were bummed about feeling isolated in your feelings about the eps?

And I noticed that this is where it drops off (908). I'm sorry if I contributed to your feeling like your thoughts were not welcome. That's certainly not my intention.

Looking it over, I can see how my critiques could seem a bit rough on show. I think it comes from a sense of ownership over the canon; I definitely don't critique any other show this much. Perhaps it's part of the pleasure for me.

But, none of that excuses your feeling excluded, if that's the cause. I apologize. I know I for sure can get a little rowdy in my reactions, but I definitely care more about your enjoyment of this homebase more than I do about critiquing the show.

I guess what I'm saying is: You don't know me as well as you know the canon, and same goes for me, and in these tentative spaces, it can be tempting to err on the side of 'politeness' and step back from discussions, if they seem like they're getting heated, you know? Like being at a cocktail party, and suddenly all the people sitting next to start hooting and hollering, and so you casually get up and go into a different room?

If that's the feeling we gave you, I wanted to assuage you that we--well, I can only speak for myself--would never step on your toes in our rowdiness. Not in this homebase, and nobody better do it to you in any homebase for that matter. If they do, tell me! I want everyone to feel welcome, basically, and if my own behavior is contributing to someone feeling uncomfortable, then I have no problem being called on it.

And also it's cool if I'm totally imagining this and you are just busy or what have you :)

I un-volunteered myself absolutely because I'm not current with the episodes (I think I'm 2 behind at this point). I really should've bowed out when Tash first volunteered me - LOL - but SPN !!!!! ♥

I think people just come at the show from different points or are fans of different aspects. It makes interacting with fandom a richer experience but I didn't want my lack of engagement along with my lack of staying current impact discussions here so thought it best I un-captain and merely participate.

Thanks for checking though! I think you're probably touching more on why I don't stay currents with the show in the first place rather than anything specific to this community. :)

As for timing, I thought the mid season hiatus made sense as there was discussion at some point of making fresh posts anyway.

Yes, I think I fumbled the midseason refresh of posts, as I was just coming on as a co-mod and was trying to do too many things at once. :/

Ok, bb, I'm glad it's all good :) I like discussing SPN with you a lot.
