Thanks for the link. That was pretty...startling. Like I said, I've never heard Jensen criticize the show itself. As circumspect as he is, if this is what he was willing to actually come out and say, then he must have been really pissed off...and I'd wager that he probably persuaded the writers to rework some of what they'd written for this season. That's the fortunate thing about Jensen -- he clearly takes his job seriously enough to question what the writers are doing, or at least to find a way to take what they give him and work with it so that it makes sense. I'm not being a gushing fangirl when I say that I think he's rescued scene after scene that would have been completely ludicrous if another actor had to try and pull them off. He's the bedrock of this show. And he's so pretty (that's the gushing fangirl talking!).
