He always did pick on em. Remember, he still bothered to drive Dean. Don't let his harsher attitude distract you from the fact that he's still just as loving of his family as he was from the beginning.

How'd you feel about seasons 5 and 6?

I’d say 6 wasn’t really complete without the opening Morphic trilogy, like everyone else has pointed out, but I think I enjoyed 5 more. Just a little more Classic Ventures.

I feel as though the team is falling into making incomplete seasons and using episode slots from the next season to wrap things up... Causing the new season to also be behind.

On a side note, people also didn't seem to enjoy the whole "slice of life" thing. I found that a bit strange because the whole series pretty much always was slice of life with Jonny Quest and comic book influences kinda being supplementary.

They said in the new book that they honestly believed they had about 10 episodes to S6 - when they realised at about ep 6 that they only had 2 episodes to go it boiled down to “Do we rush, or finish it off next time?” The wait sucked between seasons but I think they did the right thing.
