I feel like they're unfortunately trying to force the two of them to be parallel when it would be more interesting to not make them be that. Dean/Castiel, I mean. Yes, Dean can relate to how Castiel feels in losing faith in God. But he can do that without pretending that they have the exact same problem. Dean's relationship with John simply wasn't the same as Castiel's w/God and that's okay. We can still get the connection without forcing it to be double, guys.
Maybe it's also that it just doesn't seem like "deadbeat" is the issue with John. Deadbeats are weak father figures, aren't they?
Also, if that's what they're going for with Dean and Ben, it's a rather odd way to prove he's not a deadbeat, reminding us that he doesn't see the kid on a regular basis.
