Omg, just saw your reply! Thanks btw. I know that Manners is only a director, not a writer, but I think he was singularly good at capturing the nuances of Dean (off the scripts) that Jensen was able to provide. I truly miss the old days when Manners was an important member of the show.
It seemed like Manners was genuinely invested in the show & how it turned out too. Not saying none of the writers or directors have that anymore, but the old days with Manners, there was less crew & things were more tight nit. Not that I don’t like a lot from S6 on up but in a way I’ll always be disappointed it didn’t end with the 5 yr plan Kripke had.
