Warning this will only make you more bitter. We get to watch Dean "adjust" to everyone living in the bunker Kaia Sue Wayard really did take out Michael Surprise Dabb is excited about a Jack episode.

This is also a learned behavior for Dean, so its not surprising he does it to other people. I would like something like this too

I didn’t like Dabb’s words about how Sam will drill Dean down about everything. Sounds like Sam is going to expect Dean to deal with this in a certain way.

Leaders aren't perfect. They shouldnt' be. But I'm sure it will be an opportunity to remind Sam of that and talk about how good he is at it and how strong he is

I swear Dabb and BRL have two different plans for this season and have no clue what the other is doing. This completely contradicts everything ERL said in her other article. But it does sound as if Michael has truly left Dean. Sounds like Sam will make a mistake as leader. But I expect that will be just end with more Sam pimping. Dean's in a dark place in episode 4 but shakes it off because of a hunt, sounds like another dropped plot point.

This is what I'm expecting as well.

He also said the director of the episode go no tips or direction notes either.

IMO, you can follow a goal, idea or ideal just as blindly as you can a person. You can blindly follow yourself off the edge of cliff if your stubborn enough. This is what we saw with Ruby. Its more then just demon blood. Sam might have said "im done with that," but he really wasn't and when Ruby entered the picture Sam hoped right back aboard that train even if he was no longer drinking the blood. When things started spiraling, Sam ignored all the evidence and and people who were saying what he wasn't doing was a good thing. He used the first excuse he had to start drinking again. He used Dean's hell confession against him, labelled him weak and ran right back to Ruby. Saying it and doing it are two different things. If something doesnt' go his own way, Sam will rewrite his own history too. Like when he told Dean the whole powers thing didnt' end badly for him. He's still following the idea this his powers are good. Or that Ruby made him feel in control. Sam has never acknowledged that control was an illusion. He did the same thing with Lucifer. He has this idea that God was telling him to go into the cage. He wanted to believe that God reached out to him so he found someone to tell him what he wanted to hear. He repeated his again with the Men of Letters. This is why I find Sam to more of blind follower.

Jared also said the writers know the canon and the lore and they pay attention to it.

Agreed. I'm picturing a re-do of that scene in two minutes to midnight with Bobby.

The interview I posted in the media thread proves Dabb is an even bigger train wreck then we thought. He didn't give any notes or tips the the director of the episode either. Further confirmation that the Michael story was never going to be Dabb's priority. That belongs to Nick, Jack and Sam. What little filming we did get of Michael was cut even further. His sceen with Danneel was supposed to be longer. Jensen said it best when he said he was an island with regards to Michael. Everyone was. Screw Dabb.

They uploaded the whole EW panel. I posted it over in the media thread. Sounds like Dean mocks Sam for the whole chief/sir thing but I can't help but feel that will ultimately end up being a lesson for Dean. It also sounds like Dean will have issues with the AU people. Good that is far more organic then them dumping Bobby and Mary and suddenly shifting the alliances to Sam. I want Michael to take them out. I dont like them in Dean's home.

Sam can be a blind follower, especially when he gets a goal in his mind. He's like John that way. Even when he rebelled and ran away he still followed John's rules. We saw him get mad at Dean for telling Cassie while he didn't tell Jessica. He blindly followed his goal of a normal life. When strange things started happening Sam ignored them rather than upsetting the life he had. He blindly followed Ruby. She kept telling him what he wanted to here and only made him think he was in control. When he really wasn't. She played him like a fiddle. When there were signs that maybe something wasn't right, he ignored them continued to follow Ruby. There was Lucifer and the visions. He got it in his head that he was God's chosen and he should go to the cage. When Dean wouldn't' encourage it he found someone who did. The minute Sully told him how awesome and special he was he ran into the cage. Even allowing Rowena to manipulate him. He once again ignored all the reasons why it was a bad idea. So, IMO, following the British Men of Letters made perfect sense. Sam saw the end goal. Getting rid of all monsters. He's never really hunted for the sake of hunting. He saw an opportunity and he took it. Ignoring the signs that something is wrong isn't out of character for Sam. This is why Sam, for me, is more of a follower than a leader.

There were several articles. They got the majority of them in the off season actually. It said that the characters would be in multiple eps, and we would see Donna again and that he (Dabb) had found a way to incorporate the waywards into the Winchester story rather than the other way around.

Jensen starts talking about Dean 33 minutes in. I love his words.

I just love listening to Jensen talk about Dean.

I think Dean is Dean. If (big if) Michael is still possessing then I think he gave Dean control back and is dormant, and observing. Mostly because while, I would like to see Jensen be given the opportunity to pay Dean and not Dean at the same time, its not going to send a good message that none of Dean's family cant' tell the difference. The show would have to basically throw every other character under the bus. I don't see them doing that.

From the spoiler thread but no spoilers From @Jakes This is not a spoiler, and just spec. It's about far more than just how long Dean's possessed. It's about everything. The first two episodes focused on everything but Michael. The important things, like the search for Dean and Michael leaving Dean took place off screen. Jack and his little hurt feelings got more airtime than Jensen did. (or that' what it felt like). I didn't expect Michael to possess Dean the whole season but Jensen asked for time to develop the character. We were told that it would last longer then expected. 2 episodes isn't longer. The one mirror scene we didn't'' even last 30 seconds. The writers couldn't' have made it any clearer that their interest in the Michael story is less than zero if they actually said it. They had just filmed the first day of episode 2 at comic con. So they knew the outcome. Its just like Demon Dean. They filmed episode 3 first because of Jensen directing so they all knew at comic con that Demon Dean was done and they all lied. So they' e not about it. So yes I believe Michael story is done. We might get some vague off screen references and or Michael being disposed of but I would bet money being anticlimatic

Will respond in Bitch/Jerk

http://supernatural.wikia.com/wiki/Kaia_Nieves_(The_Bad_Place) Here is a picture of Kaia with the spear. I can't find a picture of the top. There is an episode coming up called The Spear. So it seems like Dabb dropped the Michael plot for what probably would have been the first season of WayWard Sues.

I wouldn't be surprised if Michael found Kaia a superior vessel and Michael moved on.

This fits with the spoiler that says that they end up on the same case as Jody while searching for what happens to Dean. My guess is Jody found a body with the exact same scar. Kaia is in this ep so it wouldn't' surprise me if we find out that Michael came across Kaia and she killed or seriously disabled him and got him out of Dean and then marked him (Dean), as a future victim.
