Yep, I should have phrased it as “had doubts about” or “what didn’t click,” or something along those lines. I don’t see the bait thing either. ;-)
The germ of the idea for this story was him shooting the vampire. I’m all, “Dude! Antique! Head!” John didn’t even consider that it might not work. Which may have been fine, because it would have killed Sam no matter what, but then John didn’t even glance at him. Dean was worried about whether Sam was okay, and he’s used to seeing him get choked. John just stood there with that creepy, obsessive satisfaction on his face.
And I went and looked it up (poor time management skills), and sights on early revolvers weren’t any good. Maybe if you know guns you don’t need to use the sights, so maybe there wasn’t a risk. But if so, you get to thinking, if the man will take that risk, what else might he do?
That, and changing his mind on sticking together made no sense at all. Talk about inconsistency. Jeez.
Thank you for the thoughtful comments-they’re always useful.
