I'd like to thank taylor swift

Were the show runners trying to make us like John? Genuinely curious cuz like I don't know if they wanted the audience's feelings about him to mirror sam and dean's feelings about him as the show progresses but we know by episode 4 I believe (phantom traveler?) that John knew he would be difficult to reach and never told dean (or Sam obviously) and instead of picking up the phone to give them any kind of heads up he just changes his voicemail to tell people to call Dean instead (placing more responsibility on him) and then Faith happens and Dean almost dies for real and John doesn't know or maybe got Sam's messages and doesn't care (?)... Really that's enough for me like I actually hate him so much by the time Faith rolls around and that's just the tip of a very big iceberg and then I feel like they want us to just forgive him by s2e1 when he trades his life for Dean's which like ya cool but that doesn't erase what happened 12 episodes ago........... And then a lot of season 2 has like Sam being like "y'know dad wasn't too bad" but like girl no!
