God, I love Rufus.

I wasn't spoilt for this episode, but I had read the episode title and TV Guide summary. I pretty much didn't see *anything* coming. Good work, Gamble.

And Jim didn't spoil it in his Twitter? Huh. Good on him. I would have thought somehow something would have changed, and savvy people would be able to tell.

I need to go look up who wrote that.

Rufus was awesome. And his earring was priceless.

It's hard to imagine Bobby living with that weird combination of guilt and triumph after killing his dad, and just how much it fucked him up.

Saying that he "adopted" two boys and taking Dean to throw a ball around rather than practicing with the double barrel just killed me. Oh, and the phone call with John. As much as I hate to truly demonize John, I so wish Bobby had gone that one step further and really given it to him about who was doing more valuable parenting, him or John.

Jim commented a while back about "arguing with his dad", but that is the only spoilage I can think of from him recently.

Did you get the update? No news 'til APRIL/??

And his sign-off:

I'd like to gab with you further, but unfortunately, I've got 1,032 items to look at today, starting with Item #64 (a live bull taken to a boxing match in Mexico) which is strange, because I'm looking at a picture of a child's stuffed cow propped in front of a magazine advertisement of a boxing match from 1972.

Thank you for following the Rules of the hunt.

And that's why I love you,

Misha's description of his process of judging the items is also typically whimsical and hilarious.

He's got to be kidding, because I (if my team won, which they won't) would need longer than that to get a new passport.

He's crazy, but not a fool. Right?

Jared responding to this tweet:

"Do you ever make fun of Jensen for his bow-legs?"

"YES, but when you push his knees together, he's taller than I am!!!!"

I was skimming until I could watch last night's ep; that's why I double-posted.

I just finished....

OMG. OMG. OMFG! Noooooo!

It was really good though.

Oh, shit, it WILL be Hellatus, not Heckatus.

I'm torn between him staying and going. I really am. Because if he stays, you KNOW the boys will have to put him down. And where would he haunt? The hospital? Or his burnt out house?

Oh, SHOW!!!!

We have seen benevolent ghosts, like Mary and whoever Tricia Helfer was playing in that 2nd season vanishing hitchhiker episode. If Bobby doesn't go into the light immediately he's not necessarily going to be a salt and burn job for the Winchesters, he might just resolve the issues that prevent him from passing on in a positive manner.

Tricia wasn't benevolent. She just wasn't malevolent. Part of their job was to help her pass on. Why wouldn't they do as much for Bobby?

Also, even if Bobby decides to linger on, which I have a feeling he wouldn't, because he's practical, but that the boys would be sure to salt and burn his bones, so it's almost a moot point.

And, OH! practical!Sam, and Dean not wanting to give up or let go. Very "I'm not alright, but neither are you".

Loved Rufus' earing.

Oh Bobby Bobby Bobby. ILU. And I love the fact the his love for the boys was him breaking his own curse, his own prophesy of bad fatherhood.

Yeah, Bobby, you're a heartbreaker.

Mine.
