Interesting to note that Edlund left in S8 and Jenny Klein in S11 (same as Robbie Thompson). So I guess Edlund knows Berens through Jenny. Also, Kripke and Berens standing together is a nice touch, I'm sure certain people are seething about it.
it's a little more than that. Edlund didn't stay entirely divorced from SPN either. He didn't really stay fingers in like some others BTS, but he still chatted with a lot of folks you know
I will admit I do not know much about Jenny beyond, yeah, she was part of the group that bounced in S11, consider it the Charlie Dumped In A Bathtub Because Singer Is An Asshole And Our Contracts Lapsed exodus.
Berens this fandom truly does not understand how both loved and respected he was internally, and how much power he had beyond what any title gave him, but especially once he was actually full exec. He was all things anti Singer, he had all power almost handed to him by Dabb with permission to basically forge showrunners notes and shit. The actors knew what they were doing to try to outrun singer before covid dropped, everybody knew.
Berens is the tie that binds: old friendship with Thompson that is unparalleled; aged into Dabb and conquered that room. Berens picked up Thompson's old plots, carried them through and spoke them into his gnostic philosophy lens, and now full circle it's rounding back to Thompson. Berens just gets to hand his buddy back their old work.
I've never heard of Kripke and Berens talking but I am negative surprised that they do, because again. Berens. Just. People don't get it. This fandom will never get or accept the fucking labor that man put in fighting for the same things they wanted, and the revolution in the writing crew, or just where the story of the absent god that didn't care but wanted to control the story came from. And how rude it was for him to visibly laugh as that entire plan was smashed in Dean's face at the end.
You'll notice Singer's gone. Jensen fingersnapped him out of existence, not brought him back. He's not at anybody's weddings. He's not being invited to birthday parties. And I can tell you, literally, quite personally, whether you believe me or not, he and eugenie aren't even welcome at Thanksgiving.
But yeah. That group. Berens is really the tie that binds across.

“wah wah they stole eugenie’s thunder!”
no they didn’t. eugenie gave birth on the 9th. today is the 14th. that’s 5 whole days. that’s one (1) working week. eugenie isn’t relevant enough to get the media’s attention for more than 24 hours. this isn’t me being mean to eugenie but it’s the truth. anyone who thinks eugenie would ever get the attention that the cambridges and sussexes get is delusional. and trust me, as a brit, most people don’t know who eugenie is. meghan stole nobody’s thunder.
