User blog:Kajune/John Winchester and Nick

I just wanted to know if anyone noticed the surprising similarities between John Winchester and Nick.

As we know, John lost his wife, Mary, rather early in his marriage (judging by Sam and Dean's ages). Looking at Nick, he lost both his wife and child when the latter was still an infant. Also, Mary and Sarah appear in their white night gown, the outfit they both died in.

About the clothes, John and Nick wear the exact same clothes, don't they? Comparing John's outfit in the season 2 finale and Nick in the season 5 primiere pretty much confirms that.

Overall, both are husbands with a tragic past. Nick still slept in the house his family died in, and John spent the remainder of his life hunting down his wife's killer.

Broadly, one could say that both men made sacrifices that promoted the Apocalypse (John selling his soul enabled Dean to do the same later and thus break a seal, and Nick saying "yes" to Lucifer, allowing the archangel to walk the Earth).

I don't know how much of this is a coincidence. Some fans claim Nick is related to Mary but I don't know.

What do you guys think?
