Seriously. Dean flew transatlantic.
Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
If you were Dean, wouldn't you hang onto a finger bone, just in case?
We don't know that he didn't.
The thing is... I always assumed that burning remains sent the unquiet spirit on to its final reward. In the case of people who sold their souls to demons, wouldn't that just mean they go back to Hell where they belong?
We don't know that he didn't.
Looks like he didn't get a chance.

It would be the smart thing to do, and the perfect gift for Bobby.
Hah! Sam and Dean in a tiny tiny car!
Wait a minute. If a demon is just a twisted spirit, and burning the bones destroys ghosts and spirits, when the boys burned John's body his spirit in hell should have been destroyed. So Alistair couldn't have tortured John for a century of hell time. That would have been about 10 months on earth, and they sure wouldn't have waited that long to put John's body on the pyre.
I suppose it could be that only souls that have become demons are decayed enough to actually be destroyed by the process. The Colt and Ruby's knife apparently do them in permanently, but we have no indication that they destroy normal restless spirits or the souls of possesion victims.
I AM SO CHEESED OFF THAT DEAN FLEW OFFSCREEN. Like, disproportionately bothered. OMG, all the fanfic handwringing about documentation and shit...and they just fly, like that when we weren't looking?
But I liked the episode--Bobby rocked, Rufus rocked harder, Crowley was fun, nice to see the sheriff back. Jensen did a decent job.

We don't know that. Just that it releases them from our plane. When they burnt Tricia Helfer, for instance, the assumption was just that she went *somewhere*. They didn't know where. But it wasn't that she was destroyed.
The Bobby and Rufus show was AWESOME.
Oh, Rufus. I think I love you bestest.
Also, Bobby totally needs to get with the Hot Sheriff Lady.
