Plei, just out of morbid (heh) curiosity, what do you see as the main narrative need for Bobby's death?
If you buy into the notion that Supernatural is structured like a tragedy, which I do, and if we're entering the last act, which is the hypothetical plan, Bobby is more valuable dead than alive.
Ow.
Shades of Bill Harvelle and John,
there, Perkins.
Oh god, Perkins is evil, too.

So, he's the Mercutio of the piece, then? (Except instead of "a plague on both your houses," we get a heartfelt "idjits," I suppose.)
In other news, Perkins is evil. EVIL.
What? I didn't make you read the whitefont.

One of their Mercutio Chorus! Which, at this point, they kind of have enough for. The Winchesters burn through allies like whoa.

True. Pamela fits the role a little too well.
(Trying to think if there's a better Shakespearean counterpart for Bobby...)
On a different topic, I'm still mulling over Castiel's new attitude towards Dean. Given how paranoid he was about being overheard while in the relative privacy of Dean's dream*, were we really seeing the genuine result of some heavenly re-programming, or was that a case of Castiel trying to keep Dean at a safe distance?
* I found it heartbreaking that Dean was dreaming of peacefully doing not much of anything.
A flistie mentioned that Dean's dream of fishing came after finding out that John took Adam fishing. Fishing never seemed the kind of thing Dean would be interested in--unless it was The Deadliest Catch sort of thing.
Oh that is an awesome thought Bev. It would also be a way to show that they lost a brother they never knew they had and even though they naturally won't talk about it, it did have some effect.
Also...
Plei and Perkins are Evil and so is Anne for her alternative version. Jilli is the only one who speaks the truth.
Remember the Friends episode where Joey was reading Little Women and they would put the book in the freezer when it would get to a part that was upsetting him like Beth's death? I wonder if I can just tape the next two weeks and put the tivo in the freezer?
