Eh. I think it's very possible to come across moments in canon that just don't jive or fit with the rest of stated canon. Yeah, they're still technically *canon* but that doesn't mean it's canon that everyone finds enjoyable or even as fitting with previously established canon characterization.

You can't watch an episode and then say that the character was out of character. The actor and the director, writers, and producers are the ones who get to make that decision.

Heh. Sure you can, anon. Trust me. Just because something is canon doesn't mean it's always IC, especially when you've got a lot of different people playing around with the characters and working on them. Just ask anyone who has been in comics fandom for any length of time. :D Canon doesn't always equal "in character" when whatever the character is doing doesn't fit in with the rest of expressed characterization. Entire arcs can be shuffled under the rug with awkward embarrassment by creators because afterward they're judged as not fitting in with the rest of the series, to be quietly retconned away if they're ever brought up again. SPN is hardly unique with this.

I disagree. Jensen is Dean, he knows Dean better than anyone watching the show, and whatever Dean does is in character.

But Jensen doesn't have final say in what Dean does. He doesn't even have first say in what Dean is going to do. The writers and directors do.

This isn't particular to Supernatural, but since TV shows are usually written by a team (and episodes are sometimes directed by different people), characterization isn't always consistent. Not to mention, TV shows are written over the course of several years and the writers often have no idea what's going to be introduced in the future, making it challenging to lay down consistent characterization from the start.

I'm not a big enough Supernatural fan to know if you're right about Jensen, but in general, I think it's absolutely fair to criticize a TV show's consistency when it comes to characterization.
