Any other way would just be damaging to the remaining integrity of the show. <br /><br />I also think Cas will bring the end to the leviathan after all it's his mess and he's the only one who can clean it up. With the help of Lucifer no doubt who is in fact still alive and it wasnt so much Sam hullucinating as it was Luci himself and with him now inside Cas and Meg grooming him, I think Cas will be possessed by Luci he will have the power to vanquish the big L, but since we saw that last year it's doubtful but with all the emphasis on Luci's "hey little brother" I like to think he's more than just a delusion.<br /><br />I remember her from Profiler and a guest spot on several CSI episodesDarrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466991405593763442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004885658234626174.post-42614130896535156302012-04-22T16:48:37.631-07:002012-04-22T16:48:37.631-07:00I know where I've seen her before!

She looks very different but was still familiar to me. <br /><br />One thought: the boys know how to let Bobby go for good now: destroy the flask. So it's in their power to decide and give him a send off at some point.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09534552292410355497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004885658234626174.post-27485624567236992442012-04-21T20:54:48.222-07:002012-04-21T20:54:48.222-07:00I see your point, and I do agree with it, mostly. ...I see your point, and I do agree with it, mostly. Sci-fi shows do show characters escape death or loved ones ressurect them either because of fan service demands and the writers caving, or because they can, or in the case of Buffy the show was renewed. However to kill off a character just to bring back a handful of episodes later really limits the effect death SHOULD have on a drama driven horror show. <br /><br />I dont know maybe I'm just tired of the show it's been on for 7 years and I guess like myself the writers are struggling to find ideas because they in turn are tired of writing material for the same characters over and over again. Writer's fatigue. Even die hard viewers are tuning out. I l still like the characters though I think this episode particularly shows just how dumb the writers think Sam and Dean are if they are forcing the idea Bobby still needs to help them. <br /><br />Sam and Dean have solved cases before Bobby in season 1 and season 2-3. Now they may have had dad's journal to help em, but you saw them research, and investigate, without resorting to a call to Bobby and I felt as the series went on they became more and more dependant on their friend. I can understand this from a family's point of view. He's their father and it's common for all sons to inquire help from daddy, but these guys are in their 30's now I think it's time for them to officially leave the nest.<br /><br />As for Bobby's sendoff we are gonna see another plotline recycled from season 2 then. When John escaped from Hell to save his boys from yellow eyes and then accended(?) are we gonna see that again with Bobby? Wow season 7 How far we've come.Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466991405593763442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004885658234626174.post-43210875069507387132012-04-21T18:25:22.704-07:002012-04-21T18:25:22.704-07:00Why did Annie feel familiar to me? I kinda felt li...Why did Annie feel familiar to me? I kinda felt like we'd met her before-- is it possible I'm thinking of some other show the actress was on?<br /><br />I'm cool with Bobby. Mainly because I saw it coming and prepared for it. Even when he died and that last scene was fading, I thought, "They intentionally never let us see the reaper get him... he'll be back." Also, if you're going to be a big fan of these kinds of shows, you kind of have to let the whole death thing go. There is no real respect for death on shows like Doctor Who, Buffy, Angel, Supernatural (especially the regular characters)-- and I'm kinda cool with that. <br /><br />Also, I thought it was a big hint that Bobby wasn't done mainly because he died before the season had ended. He'll probably get his send off with the season finale and it will actually <i>be</i> his send off. <br /><br />I LOVE ghosts and ghost storylines, creepier the better, so I LOVED this ep, if only for the way they staged all those ghosts. So well done! The stopped, silent, staring ghosts. And this episode set up that eventually (end of the season *spoiler alert*) Bobby has to move on or he goes mad like the rest of them. <br /><br />Also, wouldn't shock me if they explained the power drain later, that they purposely brought it in and left it as a question as part of Bobby's storyline-- it will probably come into play again as Bobby's ghost progresses. <br /><br />I usually have a gift for being able to tell where the writing is going.

However I did not like how Annie was protrayed at all!<br /><br />Annie is a hunter we've never heard of or seen and yet there's all this backstory. Why? No one outside of 14 years old is gonna at all feel invested in this character. I never did once feel sorrow, or well anything about this character throughout the episode, she was just a throwaway character to me. That changed a bit after she discovers her own body, and makes Bobby promise to put her at rest by burning her, yet WE DON'T SEE IT! Why?! <br /><br />The writers had a perfect opportunity to show compassion for Annie to see genuine release as she's put to rest, the emotions we could see Bobby and her as they say goodbye, yet they just throw her aside like a piece of trash much like all the female characters lil to none of them ever got treated with any respect, on or off the camera!<br /><br />I didn't buy any of that "I need ghosts to draw power off of" either. Why does he need power, to live forever, to somehow escape his house someday, being he's trapped! You can't even say he's bored and lonely so he accumulating souls to give him company, because he was a real turd in life, he killed everyone there while he was alive, and then more dead. Overall there was some interesting new ideas for the tired ghost story but there just wasn't a lot there to gel it. No sympathetic villian for the lonely bit to work and no explanation for the power drain it was a mess.Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466991405593763442noreply@blogger.com
