Hey, I'd be all over Sassy but Dean's too jealous to share this season.
OK, yeah, you're right about John and normal--I was missing your point.
I think this is one of those retcons that I'll accept (re: John) because honestly the happy puppyish John of In the Beginning never worked for me. I mean, wasn't he supposed to be a war vet at that point? Getting from him to the John Winchester we see is such an epic characterization leap that it crosses the line from "tragic story" to "a little unbelieveable". Getting there from a more cautious, more independent John Winchester who never felt quite like he fit in (loving Twitter stepfather aside) makes a little more sense to me.
That being said, I still don't like how black and white-ly they handled it re: the boys' reaction, AND it broke continuity like whoa. Your postcard made me LOL.
The most tragic thing is that any number of us fans would provide these analytic services for FREE--they could improve their characterizations/continuity so easily with essentially slave labor. We are slaves to our love.
