something about the way, in the first 5 seasons of “supernatural”, while chuck is in the picture as merely a prophet, “supernatural” is just an in-universe book series. sure, there are nods to real world fandom things, like sam girls and dean girls, notorious episodes like “bugs” (though they’re referenced as books, not episodes), etc.
but suddenly, from season 6 onwards (bless the spn wiki for this list), there are references to “supernatural” as a tv show. we have “the french mistake”. we have crowley saying things like ‘castiel, haven’t seen you all season’ (“caged heat”) and ‘exit stage crowley’ (“the man who knew too much”). we have castiel looking directly at the camera and addressing the audience when he says ‘let me tell you everything’ (“the man who would be king”). we have the alpha vampire saying to dean ‘see you next season’ and dean saying ‘look forward to it’ (“there will be blood”). we have dean asking castiel ‘what show you been watching?’ (“sacrifice”). we have “meta fiction”. we have dean referring to the ‘girl of the week’ (“somewhere between heaven and hell”). we have chuck saying sam and dean are ‘his favourite show’ (“moriah”). we have chuck watching tv screens with scenes we, the audience, have seen in episodes and referring to ‘cancelling shows’ (“galaxy brain”). we have chuck saying he’s ‘cancelling their show’ (“inherit the earth”).
there’s something in the fact that, as soon as chuck revealed himself as god to the audience at the end of “swan song”, while the book series “supernatural” still existed in-universe, it also became a self-aware tv show, breaking the fourth wall with dialogue, shots, references, and even episode titles. there’s something about the fact that, as soon as god went from being an invisible and incorporeal force to a physical character, “supernatural” went from making a few ‘wink wink nudge nudge’ references to its audience via the in-universe book series to a fourth-wall-breaking self-aware show.
before the end of season 5, when chuck was still acting out the part of a prophet, there were meta episodes and references, but once chuck went from a prophet to god, the characters either showed moments of awareness that they were, in fact, fictional tv show characters, or there were whole episodes dedicated to the nature of the show itself. there’s just something in that.
