"Damon Lindelof was right"
So Castiel had sex with a lady in the last episode of Supernatural, and the fandom lost its mind, which is predictable ... but it lost its collective mind at at WB exec who had apparently just signed up for Twitter. The Fandom DeBunker (sort of like Snopes for the SPN fandom and widely appreciated as impartial) has some screencaps, unfortunately out of order, but you can get the idea. In short, upon being prodded by fans, Chad Kennedy said that it wasn't their intention for Castiel and Dean Winchester to be bi. Kennedy then valiantly took arms against a sea of troubles before ominously tweeting "Damon Lindelof was right" (which I suppose is a reference to this) and bahleeting his Twitter account.

To be clear, nobody is really certain what this guy's role at WB is, what his involvement in the show is, and nobody knew who the hell he was until like ten days ago.

Another fan has the same Twitter screencaps with helpful commentary: "The writers are fuck cowards right now. They know what they did. And they know what they started."

One tumblr user with the screenname Octoswan is not only a SPN fan, but also a housemate of Osric Chau, a young talented actor who works on Supernatural. She writes, "Haha so it’s pretty clear that Chad Kennedy doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Poor guy walked into the belly of the beast and poked the bear with a big pointy stick. He said some dumb, uninformed things about a sensitive subject in a fandom he’s admitted to only just becoming aware of. Methinks he didn’t get the memo. Totally his fault for not doing his homework, but gosh, what a silly gaffe! //sigh" And then suggests that fandom go listen to some nice music or read a good book.

Octoswan texts Osric Chau about the kerfuffle, and he writes a note on Twitlonger trying to help fans feel better, including bits about puppies, kittens, and hot chocolate. It appears to work. Writer Adam Glass also takes to Twitter to remind people that Chad Kennedy doesn't actually write the show, and then he adds a hint: "If u asks @PaulMcCartney what does a song he wrote mean, he'd tell you he had some ideas but would be more interested in what you think. BTW."

The newest Mystery Dungeon was really disappointing. That's probably my favorite of the Pokemon spinoff series, but the new one was way too short and there didn't have half the postgame the others do. I'd second Explorers of the Sky for anyone wanting to check it out.

As far as the other side games go: the Pokemon Ranger games are pretty fun but if you get sore wrists at all playing the DS don't buy them because it will not go well (you catch and battle by drawing circles with your stylus, which is harder than it sounds). Rumble Blast was all right but kinda short. Conquest is really different and I liked it a lot, but it can be pretty difficult especially once you hit the post-game missions. Pokemon Dash is an abomination and deserves to be set on fire.

I tried Pokemon Conquest and at first I was enjoying it but after a while it just seemed repetitive so I traded it in.

Though I think maybe I just don't like that style of game, because it's not the first one I've traded back in.

I got Guardian Signs for my birthday a few years back and loved it to bits. I describe it to people as "Like the main games, except you catch Pokemon with hugs instead of fighting." I got Shadows of Almia secondhand a while back, but haven't tried it out yet.

Agreed on the new Mystery Dungeon. The plot and characters were decent and there was a lot of potential for greatness there, but it ended way too early and there was nothing left to do after the main plot. Kind of a letdown after the awesomeness that was Explorers of Sky.
