Lucifer is on the loose and there's gonna be some serious shit going down next season. \o/
Oh Show, I love you so.
(now to comment on John, which you knew I would) I once read this novel where some angels or whatever were really on this guy about being the righteous man that they wanted for whatever plan they had. And he kept saying to them that he wasn't who they were looking for, that he'd made a lot of mistakes, been faced with a lot of really awful stuff, and had to make some really painful choices. Then the angel told him that a righteous man is not the same as an innocent man. A righteous man is a man who has been tested, and has chosen right over wrong, despite the cost to himself or those he loved.
I think this describes John pretty accurately. He was probably not a good father, or a good friend, or even necessarily a good man. But he was a righteous man in that he always chose to do the right thing, even if that meant sacrificing everything, including his family, to the cause.
