So, I lovd to be annoyed by John, and I would certainly miss that. He is, after all, the grown-up and I'm not so much intersted in the younger guys without him.
But I did think it was a lovely episode with an absolutely pitch perfect playing out of the relationships at the top of the emotional scale. I have this terrible thought, though, that dad could have prepared for a temporary death only to have his sons make it permanent with their own perfectly well meant rituals to protect him from being reanimated by demons. Oops.
But then, I am a truly sick puppy.
Of course, that could be what he told Dean. "Dig me up--don't make me scramble out of the grave on my own like poor Buffy had to do!" Which, if I was Dean, would seriously annoy me. Because it really was a hairbrained scheme with more chance of disaster than success.
And, it would annoy ME, because I thought he loved his son enough to die for him. Would be disappointing to discover it was just, "Loved his son enough to try to trick a demon, which he does pretty much every day."
