It could have certainly added another interesting twist if John, as suggested in some fanfics, had been the done to tip Sam off about Roy, via Joshua. With full knowledge about the situation. I could see that happening.
Oh, absolutely. I mean, John is a lot of things, and cunning, devious, and slightly cold regarding Dean's welfare are certainly three of them. I think, if he knew about the Reaper, he could totally have offered Roy's name up to Joshua, knowing what that might mean for Dean and knowing that Dean would take care of the problem.
Which, you know, makes him a cold bastard, but not at all out of character. *sigh*
Thing is, while understandable it is also selfish. Putting your own fears before being there for your dying child and cowardly letting the other child handle the tough stuff. It would be hard to look them in the eye again later on.
I think John's screwed up enough that he'd rationalize it all to hell and be able to look Sam in the eye easily. He's really just that fucked up. And even if Possibility One is the truth, I never said he was selfless, just that he's not the antichrist of daddies. *g*

Yeah, I can see that. I swear the man gives me whiplash sometimes from shaking my head. :)

Well, I never believed that. I mean, even the show itself gave us a negative example in the Dad in Nighmare with a big honkin "Look, it CAN get worse" sign. Even before I knew that it could have been so much worse. For all their screwed-upness Dean or Sam neither struck me as victims of physical or sexual abuse. They`d be worlds different.
