I don't think it's just TWOP, as I have seen the same attitude toward Owen in other places (like Writer's blog, EW blog or IMDB board). The timeline issues re: confrontation with Teddy and the kiss were raised on TWOP though and I think Shonda or someone from the writing staff is aware of that as it's a very influential place and I recall Shonda admitting once, that this's one of the places she checks to gauge the fans's reaction.
I don't think Owen is an "eeeevil ass" but he definitly lost most of his appeal to me so I can see why people are turning against him, as sad as it's. His lack of support of Cristina, after everything she did for him, is disturbing. He's been coming across as personality-free and clueless for the most part of this season and as much as I hate to say this, KmK doesn't seem to feel this role anymore (not that I blame him, given what they are doing to his character). I blame the writers though and still hope to see the passionate, earnest and upstanding Owen from season 5 though.
"I wonder if this is damage control is it because Owen may do something in the next few episodes and they want to redeem him now and not add to the hate later on?"
In promo he seems to get kicked out of Cristina's OR, both Teddy and Cristina look upset on promo pics and we know that Owen will accuse Teddy of some shady motives, so I assume he will get a tad paranoid and piss both women off.
