I adore John too, so you're not alone there. And you know, this panel was a bunch of very reasonable fans, who were willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, but the negative issues just kept aclimbing and aclimbing. I was considering all this on my drive home today, that our intent was to examine the issues, and that we did. The conclusions people draw is up to them, and surely there was tons we forgot.
And then there's this...you know, he's hunting that demon for 22 years, the thing that killed Mom, and he's pretty driven. He drags his sons behind him, and guess what? He didn't have to kill every evil thing that crossed his path, but he did. Yeah, he rather sacrificed his sons for his revenge, yet at the same time, he saved a LOT of people a lot of pain. Even if it was only one a year, that's 22 people saved who wouldn't have been, plus exponentially, the number of people also saved because John got rid of the bad thing. No doubt single handedly. He was brave, he was fearless, he was clever, self reliant, he was a whole HOST of good qualities. So I love John too.
It's just that when I see him slamming Dean or putting yet more responsibility on his shoulders, it gets me all riled up. I'll just disagree and say that I think he should have waited. Lord, at least till Sam was ten.
