DA

OK, I get where you're coming from on this, but on the other hand, show runners are not obligated to aim for the dumbest possible audience. I know a lot of casual viewers who picked up on the subtext just fine, because it's not particularly subtle, especially since the actors have said they played it that way and the composer intentionally put romantic motifs into the score (particularly in the scene where Crowley saves Aziraphale's books in the WWII bit). There is no shortage of viewers who are NOT in fic-reading fandom circles who saw it.

Does everything need to be aimed at the viewers who need their hands held constantly?

"Does everything need to be aimed at the viewers who need their hands held constantly?"

No. And I never once said that such hand-holding was necessary. I said absolutely nothing about showrunners or writers being obligated to do anything, much less be much more explicit about m/m romance. I also did not say that no casual viewers picked up on the subtext.

You seem to be rebutting a whole lot of things I didn't actually say. Are you talking to someone else, maybe?
