In Season 2, it was [[2.18 Hollywood Babylon]] that started kicking hard at the [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FourthWall Fourth Wall] in an episode about movie making by writer [[Ben Edlund]]. The episode centres around a stolen script for a horror movie: [[Hell Hazers II: The Reckoning]]. The episode incorporated actual notes from the network that Kripke had received for Supernatural, pokes fun at Kripke’s movie Boogeyman, as well as using incorporated images from Supernatural episodes into movie posters. To top it off the movie producer in the episode is [[McG]] – and the real McG (Supernatural’s producer) appears in a crowd scene, as do many of the Supernatural crew.
Season 3 was interrupted by the [[Writers Guild of America Strike]] which began at the end of 2007 and ran until February 2008. [[3.13 Ghostfacers]] was the first episode written and filmed after the strike ended. Presented as a low budget, unscripted show, it is the type of programming that was predicted to replace scripted dramas like Supernatural if the strike had continued.
[[4.18 The Monster At The End Of This Book]] marks the episode where Supernatural decided fourth walls were redundant as Sam and Dean discover a [[The Supernatural Books| series of books]] - named after episodes of the Show – that are based on their life. The author of the books is [[Chuck Shurley]] – an avatar for Eric Kripke. Both the writers, and for the first time the fandom of the TV Show, are sent up. At [[Comic Con 2009]] Kripke said he has a "tempestuous, loving, conflicting" relationship with the online Supernatural fan community, and that the meta episode "The Monster at the End of This Book" gave him a chance to lovingly make fun of them.

Supernatural fan – [[Becky]] – appears in [[5.01 Sympathy For The Devil]] and later puts on a [[:Category:Conventions|Convention]] in [[5.09 The Real Ghostbusters]].
