Thanks! From what I've seen so far, losing Dad really messed Dean up. Sam had college and was trying to build a life, but all Dean ever had was his family. To think that his Dad died because of him (because frankly, it's so obvious that even Dean can spot it a mile away) would really wreck a guy.

Then, of course, Sam. My opinion of him is that Dean's speech about family at the end of last season really pushed Sam to grow up a little. He's what, 23? You think your family's going to live forever then, but losing John would have knocked that out of Sam's hands.

Man, I'm deep today (j/k)
