A Message To SUPERNATURAL Fans From Creator Eric Kripke
Posted by: Ducky in Ducky Does TV, Jensen Ackles, Supernatural
Hopefully Kripke wasn’t reading my blog today and that’s what spurned his response to the fans that I’ve printed below.
In response to fan reactions to the “Yellow Fever” mystery of the week, SUPERNATURAL creator Eric Kripke wants to clear some things up… about Dean’s dick… or rather Dean being a dick. Hey we can all dream.
“So I’ve never before responded directly to the fandom’s comments about an episode, and I don’t plan to make a habit of it, but I couldn’t resist dropping in a thought about the episode “Yellow Fever.”
Which is this:
Dean is not a dick.
None of the writers, or anyone on the creative team of Supernatural, think Dean’s ever been a dick, past, present, or future. He’s a hero. Dean did NOT contract the ghost sickness because he’s a dick. Victims contract the illness because they use “fear as a weapon.” Dean asks Lilith at the episode’s end, “why did I get infected?” And she cryptically responds, “you know why. Listen to your heart.” We, as the writers, probably should have emphasized this mystery more, I take responsibility for that omission. But the point is: the reason he was infected is because of a SECRET he’s keeping. A dark secret that will be revealed in Episode 10. And not at all because of any dickishness, implied or otherwise.
Thanks, gang.”
It’s kinda great that he used bloggers to get the word out to the people, no? Love that guy.

I never thought Dean was a dick. Although I love when they use that word a zillion times an episode! Maybe we will finally get to know why Dean’s eyes bled in Bloody Mary?
