When the reaper first appeared, I'll admit to having a flash of Chuck. But it was only a momentary flash.

When Sam and Dean died and went to heaven, there was no reaper. But they did have to keep looking for the road to move through heaven. Like Bobby had to keep looking for a door. Yes, he wasn't in heaven but I like the parallel journeys they took.

Can you explain what you mean? I'm not following

Not being a Christian, I'll try my best. I see correlations in the idea of God in human form (as Bobby) as with the life of Jesus.

I don't profess to be a biblical scholar, they're just things I've been thinking about Bobby.

I'm rather intrigued by the idea that perhaps Bobby was an unknowing vessel for God.

I doubt it will ever be canon, but it would make on hell of a fic.

I have actually read that fic, but damned if I can remember who wrote it.

edit: - okay, I found it; it's just a short piece by taelynhawker, but it's wincest so I know it's not something most people here would be interested in.

Oh! I kind of see where you're going there.

I think the idea of Bobby as God is sort of cool, but I don't really buy it. Very interesting, though. And definitely excellent fic material.

Dean always has his other crutches -- sex,

I was thinking about this last night (don't mock) -- when's the last time Dean got laid? Lisa? Dean needs to get some, seriously.

Maybe he'd lay off the hootch a little if he...(god, I'm gonna be crude and say it, because I can't not)...got some cootch.

I had to do a double take because I thought Chuck (God) was playing the reaper. In my mind, I was already making excuses that they wanted someone to reap Bobby with whom Bobby would be familiar. Luckily that all happened in about 10 seconds and I was back to, "oh, he just looks like Chuck".

Henri Lubatti played the Reaper and he has been in many, many things. (I think he may have had a role in a recent Grimm.)

Often playing Eurotrash baddies.

I wonder if this means Bobby lived longer in the 2014 universe than this one.

Helping the boys. Always helping the boys. Everyone dies helping them or fighting them. Does no one die doing their own shit? Okay, not on their show. But still. Way to go to make them feel ultra toxic.

I wonder how long this will take to hit fic properly. Not just reaction codas, but day forward fic in which the guys don't take over from a living Bobby, or inherit his (standing) house, or send newly human Cas to live with Bobby while he gets a handle on mortality (whoa, two denials for the price of one). Or have them move in with him after they retire and set up a camp for baby hunters.

You know, stuff like that. He was supposed to be there for a little while longer.

Don't hit me, but I wanted him dead on the show. I wanted the boys to mourn him, I wanted them to be isolated, and to not be able to call anyone (or pray to anyone) for extra help, but to be two lone wolves operating mostly outside of whatever loose-knit "community" the hunters have.

I love them, but I want that pain and loneliness for them for a little.

Problem is, it makes it harder for me to imagine what I want for them in the end. Because living a town over from Bobby would have been great (in the same house, although they can date they can't live apart. Cas can move in to Dean's bedroom if he wants).

Okay, clearly I have no idea what I want from this show. Maybe this would make more sense if my head didn't hurt.

Still, stupid sexist racist show, so focussed on killing off the PoCs and the women. Bastards.

Hey, watch Bobby be back in January, if not revived (by Gabriel, who's just been playing dead this whole time), then as Casper the friendly ghost who poltergeists around them and helps them on cases by talking the other ghosts down.

THAT WOULD ROCK.

Oh, and so a thing got spoiled on Twitter. Don't read anyone's posts ever.

Is it a good thing?
