Remember when Dean said...

[certainthings]

Dean: You know, when we were little-- you couldn't been more than 5 -- you just started asking questions. How come we didn't have a mom? Why do we always have to move around? Where'd Dad go when he'd take off for days at a time? I remember I begged you-- "Quit asking, Sammy. Man, you don't want to know." [chuckles softly] I just wanted you to be a kid...Just for a little while longer. I always tried to protect you...Keep you safe...Dad didn't even need to tell me. It was just always my responsibility, you know? It's like I had one job... I had one job... [voice breaking] And I screwed it up. I blew it. And for that, I'm sorry. [wiping away the tears] I guess that's what I do. I let down the people I love. I let Dad down. And now I guess I'm just supposed to let you down, too. How can I? How am I supposed to live with that? [crying] What am I supposed to do? Sammy. God. [sniffles] What am I supposed to do? [inhales sharply] What am I supposed to do?!

you know, im pretty sure dean always wanted to protect sam. as an older sister myself, its just part of your self to want to protect your younger sibling. its a big part of who i am.

but john telling him every 47 seconds to watch out for sammy prolly just made him feel like he wasn't doing a good enough job.

Maybe. But sometimes it just seems like Show is trying to force "John, is a no good terrible father." down our throats, and I disagree. Not to say that John should've won Best Father of Decade award but yeah.
