It's not really that, it's more like the effect it'd have on past canon for me... I don't know if I'm explaining right. Kind of like, in S4 when they introduced Mary as a hunter, I liked it because it was expanding on an unknown aspect of canon. To me, this would be more like rewriting something that was a solid, indisputable fact for years now. It'd be like if they decided to make it that Sam or Dean wasn't really John's son or something. Not enhancing history, but rewriting what we knew to be true.

It'd probably bother me less if they made a distinction between the knife and the Colt that way, but it'd still irk me in the way that them doing things like introducing the demon bone-burning death or demonic invisicreeping did. Where I just sit there thinking "Oh, well that's random and convenient."

It's funny, because it feels exactly like the reveal of Mary to me. It isn't contradicted by previous canon and it slots into place to make sense. Plus Alistair! Casey! Ruby! So many unresolved plot points and emotional storylines, so little time! It's a golden opportunity, it's just one that I don't think the writers will actually take advantage of.

Besides, there are other monsters who have played a major role here. Would bringing Madison back be any different than bringing Ruby back, in terms of "we killed it completely and now it's back again"?

The bone-burning death thing annoyed me right until it came out that it doesn't work after all. Or at least, that's the impression I got, since Crowley survived it. Demonic invisicreeping makes sense to me since some demons can teleport, too.

I hope if they do go that way, they don't bring YED back. Much as I love him (he's my favorite demon!), having the difference between the knife/Sam's powers and the Colt makes sense to me.
