I don't mind they are doing episodes that have nothing to do with the Apocalypse. What I did mind was the treatment of the female fans in this episode. First of all, the Con was mostly men. In what reality would that happen? Especially since they flat out said there was to be a panel on homoerotic subtext. Were they trying to tell me the men are listening to that? Really? And then they go and make the first hero fans men, too, of course. Whereas the lone talking female fan was the crazy person with the inappropriate touching who writes slash.
By the end of the episode I was getting pissed off at Kripke and the rest of TPTB. And I usually do not get pissed off at the the show. But this was... just horribly bad and offending.
