I don't remember the show specifically comparing Dean to Michael in "Houses of the Holy," but they were certainly more accurate in their description, and much more in keeping with Dean's general awesomeness. At that point, the claim was no angels would be making an appearance.
I know that fans have been comparing Dean to Michael for ages. (SPN: Where wing!fic is canon. O.o)
I don't think I want to read or hear anything he says again.
As I explained to someone else, I make it a habit of not listening to or reading interviews with the writers until after the fact (if I read or listen at all). I want the work to speak for itself. Also, the writers write something, then the actors get a hold of it, and the director, who then also edits it, and it turns out differently than the writer originally intended. (Especially, I think, when Jensen gets a hold of something. Hasn't Sera said that sometimes she gets a bit lazy with her writing, knowing that Jensen will make it awesome? Seems I heard that somewhere.) Anyway, my point is that what the writers say and what actually ends up on screen are two different things. And I'm more interested in the final product. Which is why I'm more interested in what the actors have to say, because they're interpreting the writing.
Does that make sense?
So I'd suggest that people who are getting freaked out and angry with Kripke stop listening to him and wait until we see what actually happens, and draw our own conclusions. Because as you say, we're not necessarily watching the show Kripke thinks he's writing. :-)
