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.
Well, I'm clearly pretty sick as well, because that really cracked me up, too. oops! Although presumably that would be what he told them -- for god's sakes, don't burn the body!
But I sincerely doubt we'll see any kind of reanimation. Sincerely.
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."
Whereas I think this scenario has a lot of dramatic possibility, because presumably the boys would be pretty damn pissed off about it once they put all the pieces together. And then they really would have something to fight about! And I like the idea of John multi-tasking, here.
Not convinced that any of this will happen, of course. But right now I'm enjoying the shady banks of Denial.
