Yeah, I cannot imagine how unhappy Jensen had to have been with the scripts to speak out. Also good for Misha for refusing to "calm the internet" and for Mark Sheppard to point out that he was brought back because of fan reaction and not because of any previous plan.
It does seem like at least some of the actors are doing whatever they can to get the show back on track and to save their characters from assassinated by bad writing literally and/or metaphorically.
Here is the thing though, if they are feeling the need to go public and encouraging the fans to write and post on certain boards, etc., then that suggests to me that TPTB are completely deaf to their concerns. Which, where Jensen is concerned especially, is utterly stupid because he knows Dean better than anyone and seems to have a better sense of the show as a hole the either Kripke or Gamble who can barely articulate what it is they are trying to do on a good day. Kripke's comments about Dean needing to learn to love Sam unconditionally from SDCC last year.
