When I first heard there would be an episode where Sam and Dean find out someone's writing their lives as books, I thought this was going to be seriously dumb. They'd finally run out of ideas, they were doing too many cracky eps, the whole thing was just gonna SUCK. But then I saw the episode, and lo and behold, it was the best ep so far of the season, one of the most pivotal storyarc eps of the series, and introduced a new fan-favourite minor character. The word AWESOME didn't seem to cut it. I officially stopped ever doubting the genius of this show and its writers.

Randomness -
*The name of the diner was Kripke's Hollow Diner. Kripke's Hollow must have been the name of the town, heehee!
*"Did Phil put you up to this?" - I'm guessing that was a nod to Phil Sgriccia, editor of gag reels and lover of good pranks.
*Carver Edlund, of course, was a reference to two of the show's main writers - Jeremy Carver and Ben Edlund.
*Bugs and Red Sky At Morning were mentioned as two of the worst written stories, heh. Route 666 was also mocked. I love my show. ;)
*Dean is a closet Vonnegut fan. That...actually doesn't surprise me.
*The actress who played the publisher also played Karen Giles in The Usual Suspects.
*Mention of Dr. Sexy M.D. being a book/series that people read instead of the Supernatural series (aka Grey's Anatomy, which airs in the same timeslot as SPN). That's the "book" Dean says the show is based on when Sam catches him watching it in Changing Channels.
Quotes -
Dean: *reading Route 666* Everything is in here. I mean, everything. From the racist truck to me having sex... I'm full-frontal in here, dude!
Sam: *grossed out*
Dean: Oh, check it out, there's actually fans. There's not many of them, but still. Did you read this?
Sam: Yeah.
Dean: Although, for fans, they sure do complain a lot.
Dean: *grins* There are Sam-girls and Dean-girls, and... what's a slash fan?
Sam: As in Sam-slash-Dean. Together.
*pause*
Dean: Like, "together" together?
Sam: Yeah.
Dean: *horrified* They do know we're brothers, right?!
Sam: Doesn't seem to matter.
Dean: Oh, come on, that... that's just sick. *slams laptop shut, pushes it away*
Publisher: The best parts are when they cry!
