Exactly. As long as it happens, I'm happy with whatever timeline they choose. (Though, of course, I'd prefer sooner rather than later).
Exactly. There's a quote about Richard I of England that basically says, "He was a bad son, a bad husband, and a bad king, but a gallant and splended solider," that could very much be cut and pasted onto John Winchester. More or less. He was a good man, but a CARELESS father. That's probably the best word for it. He loved his sons, but he loved his wife so much that, when she died, something in him broke and he was never able to love - or show his love - in quite the same way ever again. The fear of losing his sons prevented him from showing them how much he loved them. And his desire for revenge... Well, you know.
But the episode had it's issues. That wasn't one of them though.
I'd prefer a strong and lasting relationship too rather than simple fanservice. Which is why I'm willing to wait. Cas needs to heal (and appear in like most of S9/the rest of S8) before it can really happen, but we're on the right road. Hopefully.
