I think the greatest comfort I took from this episode is that John found out about Adam AFTER Sam had left for college. It wasn't this secret he had been harboring for nearly 2 decades. While John had his flaws, after Sam left, he obviously felt that he had fucked up completely, and so seeing Adam, seeing what he had done to his children, John (not in an effort to replace Sam and Dean) saw this as an opportunity to do something right by ONE of his boys.
I liked how this episode was resolved. Sam and Dean needed to see (especially Sam) that all they have is each other. That Dean will be there for his brother to take care of him, and that Sam can still count on him. He got a feeling of being a big brother after all. I like that Adam died before Dean and Sam got to know him because they would not feel the obligation to visit him and make sure he was okay after meeting him.
I think it could've been so much worse, so I was satisfied but I certainly understand why people were disappointed by this episode. We needed a break before the massive happenings in the next three weeks.
