I must admit that I had some concerns when I first heard that an episode of the fifth season would be held at a “Supernatural” convention. I thought the writers were perhaps going a little too “meta” in the process. I’m still not convinced that it wasn’t a very bad idea, but it certainly had its charms.
Eric Kripke and the production staff love the fans, and they like to show it by gently mocking some of the sacred cows of the fandom. Just the fact that they tolerate the creepy Wincest fans is a testimony to their inclusivity. I think the writers did the fans justice by addressing, on a certain level, some of the common insults tossed at the super-fanatic. And I would hope that the fans enjoyed the recognition for what it was.
That said, I thought the episode was trying a little too hard to push its theme and moral underpinnings at the expense of the story. The entire ghost story aspect felt generic, and when even the main characters are wondering why they are getting sidetracked from their main mission, it’s telling.

Actor Roark Critchlow talks about Jensen Ackles in an interview with TV Guide Magazine:

You were on Days with Jensen Ackles, who like you has jumped to sci-fi TV. He’s shooting Supernatural up in Vancouver where V shoots.
Jensen is one of the better people I’ve known. And I watch him on Supernatural. He’s so funny. We used to hook up for a beer every now and then. But I will hunt him down when production on V starts up again in January.
