Screencaptures: SPN S04E10 ‘Heaven and Hell’

You know, I wouldn’t discount the fan input. I know that the writers are taking the pulse of the fan community. Supernatural is one of the biggest shows in the world for fan conventions, so we go to those events and have face to face contact with the fans so we have that sort of direct feedback in that venue. I know that the writers and producers are paying attention to the fans. They are a very vocal minority of the viewers but they are listened to for sure.
