Bobby's is the only death that's going to pack that emotional punch. He's the only thing they have left, human-wise.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Bobby will die.
I'm not as upset about that as I was a few months ago, somehow.
I'd be impressed if they get the stakes for next season high enough that I feel one of them dying makes sense.
Yeah, me too. Unless they stretch the god apocalypse over into next season, which I hope they don't.

I know that Bobby has to die. I do get the narrative reasons for it. I just don't WANT it to happen.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Aaargh! TWOP people agreeing that Dean shouldn't have made the deal to raise Sam in AHBL2. ::closes window::
Way to miss the point of show.

Exactly, ita. How do you watch this show and not get that it's about both of them, about their relationship together, how they sacrifice for their brother?

Even when it's not working, it's about it not working. I don't get not getting it.
I mean, I could skim past the people saying that Castiel was Dean's one true friend, but even that was getting tricky. Keeping Sam dead means that it's just not Supernatural.
There's no version of Dean that would have made that decision, not even End!Dean, I'd wager.

Nope. That's, like, the central thesis of his character: "I take care of my little brother." Full stop.
Man, I need hiatus to be over.

I could skim past the people saying that Castiel was Dean's one true friend, but even that was getting tricky.
Not to mention that Castiel wasn't around during AHBL II, and as we've seen (during Croatoan, and during AHBL itself) Dean is prepared to kill himself rather than go on living without Sam. They just don't work without each other. As we keep repeating in various ways on this thread, that IS the point of this show. And it's why we love them, in all their fucked up, codependent glory.

You might not like it, but it is what you signed up for, so don't pretend it's not happening.
Not some "brotherly bond that never was and never shall be" crap. It's there. It's the light that's casting all the shadows.

I've never rewatched anything all the way through, episode by episode, and I am the type to let excitement over a new season override any issues with an episode.
Which is a long-winded way of saying that after the delicious meat of S2, The Magnificent Seven was a little like a vending machine snack. Sort of forced, in terms of Dean's jollity. The note that really rang wrong for me this time around was the "cough cough year to live" thing in the thrift shop with Sam.
