*walks in on sam getting some action*

And the obvious implication of course is that this is them in actuality, without the network-TV filter applied, a meta-message to the audience.

Do you ever think about how when Chuck talked to Sam in season 4, how he said he hadn’t written the blood drinking into the books because it would make Sam look unsympathetic? The little curiosity this instills because we as the audience have only actually (finally) seen that two episodes prior, with the intervening episode being the angels’ little alternate universe office au.

And the implication of course being that Chuck has known all along, but hasn’t disclosed it in the books, the way the writers of the show have known all season but hadn’t disclosed it to the audience for so long.

Do you ever think about how Kripke was grabbing us by the shoulders and telling us that the version of Sam and Dean that we see is the network’s sanitized for the censors version, is Chuck’s sympathetic version (not unlike the self-aggrandizing bullshit Metatron later calls him out for writing), and that we actually should question the unreliable narration?

And the thing is, when he came back to his studio, he’s not allowed to have crowds there either because of New York’s restrictions.

But without fail, every other joke, you can hear this one, single woman laughing in the background.

That’s his wife.

Covid restrictions don’t apply to his spouse, and everyone else in the studio has a job, and has to work, so she’s become the only person in the room left laughing at his jokes.

She doesn’t laugh every time. You can tell she’s not doing it on cue, because there are some bits she clearly likes better than others. Some bits where she is laughing her ass off, and some where she just chuckles.

But my god, every time she laughs, Colbert’s face lights up like the sun.

Like, even if every other person on earth was dead and gone, if he was on his deathbed and breathing his last breath, he’d still make a jokes, just to make her laugh again.
