And that's how they worked it so Jensen could play (a variation of) Sam, and Jared could play (a variation of) Dean.
We'll see, I guess. But I wish I didn't know that the actor who does play Dean wasn't publicly vocal, for the first time in six years, about being unhappy with the writing for his character almost fully half-way into the season's shooting. And I can see some of what he's talking about already, and it does concern me that they're trying to take a lot of what should be inherent to Dean's characterization regardless of life-long experience and misery away from him. There's growth, and then there's outright robbing Peter to pay Paul.
I hope the remaining first half episodes play out better for the character of Dean than Jensen's outright frustration indicated two weeks ago, for his sake as much as the fans'.
