I keep reading these things without having seen the episode (yet!) so I really have nothing intelligent to add. (SO procrastinating from fic.)
But! I read a fic once, and I have no idea what it was, who wrote it, or where I'd find it again, but there was a line about, "John was a slutty drunk, like his mother, and a mean drunk, like his father," and I totally fell in love with that line. Because I had this total image of an older father who married a much younger woman and had John later in his life and so he was fairly advanced in rank when John was young and away all the time, and his lonely wife drank a lot and fucked the young captains who came by the house all the time and maybe the sergeants assigned to a security detail if there was concern about that because Cold War and all, and especially if they were stationed in Germany or someplace. *pauses for breath* Which doesn't explain anything because John's not drunk and um, I totally am not going to write it because I have...y'know, STUFF to write and...and...anyway. *slinks away*
