:D I was kind of wondering when in the pre/post mortem of John he spoke to Karl. I love the idea of John trying to give the boys (esp. Dean) some kind of comfort and promise esp. after dropping that bomb in his lap right before. And because he had to know they would figure it out and that it would tear Dean apart to think that John went to Hell -and with that Demon to boot- rather than let him die.

I think being dead would mean Karl would have insight into the fact that John had also died. I was wondering about that, which of course just leads to the conclusion that Johnny isn't dead and that what the boys burned wasn't their Dad... I mean remember what the reaper chick said - it's her sandbox. So John either has a plan (and he's always got a plan) to bust out of Hell (I'm not sure how he gets his body back, but certainly easily managed by John Winchester), or he isn't acutally dead, but in the process of paying off or double crossing the Demon before he comes back to his boys. (At which point they both ought to hit him really really hard and then hug and make up - because 1. he deserves the beating and 2. he looks hot all poofy faced and they look hot hitting stuff).

Oh, I think he's absolutely dead, but I also think he absolutely has a plan that means he isn't dead-dead so much as just dead-but-not-for-long.

Kripke? Are you listening, dammit?!?
