This ep has the potential go very sideways unless "John's Mom" remarried and that's the "Dad" the older man referred in the diner in ITB was John's stepdad, the mechanic. "Hey, Winchester,say hi your dad for me".
This episode has the potential to go very sideways in a lot of things. The biggest of which is Jeremy Carver's complete lack of respect for canon this entire season.
Well didn't Dean end up having to tell Sam about monsters and his father didn't do it? Could be something like this. Only Henry doesn't seem to be a hunter by the way he talks about them.
The more I hear Carver talking, the less I am impressed with him and with his lack of respect for what has gone before.
He just comes along and throws whatever he wants into the story-lines. X
Young John had a good relationship with his dad as we were told in "In The Begining" and now we're informed that Henry ran out on him, and from the way Sam comments on it, it would seem that he ran out, period, not he ran out and came back.
But all will be revealed tonight for better or for worse.
Yeah.. remind me on when the boys discussed *not ever looking for each other again* something happened to other one? Pftt!
I did come up with an alternate to the "step dad, the mechanic" thought.
What if Henry w was a single dad to young John because John's mom had died (maybe even was supernaturally killed) and when Henry "fell *up* the rabbit hole" and never "came back", 7 year old John went into foster care or was adopted by by other relatives (either strangers or a "family of mechanics") who knew nothing about the "Supernatural". This way John would be raised by either strangers or other (dead) family members who knew nothing about "monsters". (That way there would no radical contradiction when young John was courting young Mary and said something about "Sampa" not approving of a "boy" for his "little" girl that came from a "family of mechanics" - even if other family members "lied" to young John growing up I can't imagine they would feel the need to keep up the subterfuge/dual identities as "elite" anti-demon enemies once John came home from Vietnam).
From the Pilot I always suspected that neither John nor Mary had any living, close blood kin and from "John's Journal" (the one seen and used on the show, not the "novelized" Journal that was published several years ago) young father John did not reach out to any relatives for help.
I did consider that John's parents were divorced (in the stepdad thought) but young parent John didn't seem to contact his mom and "stepdad" either.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
"Hunters are Apes"... rude much, Henry o-0?

Pretty much, Dahne.

IA. I came with an "alternate Henry theory" below in my reply to Daphne.
ReplyDeleteNew, never before introduced angels and now (per the the Zap2it article yesterday -

and new, more powerful demons (Abaddon) and NO signs of either during the "Apocalypse that came and went) ?
