Without even appearing in the episode, John Winchester made a huge impression on last night’s episode of Supernatural. Unlike Grey’s Anatomy, Supernatural doesn’t need Jeffrey Dean Morgan to appear as a ghost to get its point across. Even though Dean was right about John’s long lost son Adam Milligan being a trap, he was also wrong, because it turns out John really did have another kid. Not only did we learn a lot more about John’s secret past, but we learned more about his relationships with his sons. He showered Adam with affection and baseball games not because he loved him more, but because John wanted some level of normalcy, and he knew he could never have that with Sam and Dean after what happened to their mother. John Winchester was fiercely protective, trying to shield Adam from the truth, but in the end, that failed. Adam was killed by a lowly Ghoul because he wasn’t prepared for the world of demons. Sam and Dean, as much as they may resent the life they’ve been given, are only alive because of what John taught them.
More importantly, the episode ended with an interesting conundrum. Dean admitted that even though he tries his hardest to look and act like their dad, it’s Sam whois actually the apple of his father’s eye. Sam wasn’t sure whether being compared to John was a compliment, and it’s a question fans are now asking themselves. On the one hand, John Winchester was brave and fearless, an expert hunter who cared deeply for his family. He also proved his bravery after his death, as Alastair told Dean that John refused to stop the pain of Hell by making the same deal Dean made. John sacrificed his own well-being for the greater good, something Dean wasn’t able to do. Sam, however, lives by this same code. All season long he’s been drinking demon blood, slowly giving up a piece of his humanity, in order to become strong enough to defeat demons. Hunting was something he never wanted to do, but now it’s his life and Sam will do whatever it takes to do it. Supernatural has always been about the sacrifices people make. Dean was willing to give up his soul to bring his brother back to life, but that isn’t the kind of sacrifice men like John and Sam believe in. Sam is giving up his humanity not to save the life of someone he loves, but for good. He’s willing to go over to the dark side and drink up the demon power in order to do what must be done. On Supernatural, even though Dean looks and acts like the tough guy, he’s the whiny liberal while Sam is Jack Bauer. Dean would give up his own life to save someone he loves. But would he give up his life to save a total stranger? Or would he kill someone in order to save others? Sam would in the blink of en eye, which is why he’s more like John Winchester than Dean could ever hope to be. Source: buddytv.com DISCUSS LAST NIGHTS EPISODE: |

I took the comparison of John and Sam not as a compliment like Sam did. That is why Dean told him he could take it anyway he wanted to.
For Dean Family has always been first and foremost the most important thing in his life. For Dean life without his family is no life at all. So if Dean had to choose between saving a stranger or his brother or saving the planet or his Father, well for Dean there is no hesitation in his choice: Family comes first.
Sam doesn’t feel that way. And whereas he would definitely give up his own life to save his brother he would also give it up to save the world. And sometimes I do believe that Sam would be willing to sacrifice his brother’s life as well as his own to save the world.
That’s not Dean. That’s not me either.
So you can say Sam is more like his Father than Dean and you can call Sam more like Jack Bauer than Dean will ever be and that is fine by me.
Because that is not the kind of character or person I love.
My family comes before anyone or anything else in my life and always will. And that is why I relate much more to Dean than I do to Sam. I love both brothers but Dean will be the one I am following whatever path he chooses in the end.

Wow, damn me for reading the spoilers but i honestly always did think there was a possibility of John having a son out there, and despite some fans against it, I think from this it seems brilliant! The writers always know what they are doing, we are entitled to our opinions obviously cause we’re all strong loyal fans but God! I feel so much for Dean, you can tell it’s all an act now and he and Sam have changed roles, I hate Sam like this. Although he can kick arse, I don;t think it is for the good. It’s Ruby, she’s manipulated him. Bring back John in person, get the boys back on track properly! Can’t wait for this episode! C:
