There's a great interview with Supernatural writers Cathryn Humphris and Ben Edlund HERE.

A few interesting quotes:

Ben Edlund: For playing with form and genre, I must say I like Ghostfacers, although I will concede that it does very little to satisfy folks who watch this show for the brother-on-brother action.

I'm amused at his choice in phrasing. ;)

Cathryn Humphris: We often say that Supernatural is, at heart, a love story between Sam and Dean.
(So Sera's not the only one who realizes this. :D)

Morgan's Maniacs: There isn’t a more hotly contested issue in the Supernatural world than John Winchester. Even though John sacrificed his soul, and his only chance to ever be with Mary again to save Dean’s life, some fans still think he was a bad father: That his sacrifice was ‘too little, too late’. Others contend that he was in fact a good father. What is your view of Papa Winchester?

Cathryn Humphris: That he’s human, I guess. A shitty dad in some ways, but a dad who loved his kids and tried to do right by them, and was forever affected by his wife’s horrible death, and was obsessed both with avenging that death and keeping his children safe from the same fate...He taught his kids to shoot, to recognize and fight back against monsters… but he was absent emotionally in so many ways. And he put an immense about of pressure on Dean, and kind of denied him a childhood in some ways… probably because he had no idea who else to turn to. I think he was a flawed, often lousy father with the best of intentions.


So, despite the fact that the question has an obvious pro-John-as-great-father bias, Cathryn tells us flat-out that he was a shitty father who loved his kids. Which is exactly what I've always said.

Anyway, go read the interview.
