SPN 6.04 Weekend at Bobby's

[thegrrrl2002]

So. Much. Love. for this ep. Bobby is awesome, and I would tune in every week to watch the Bobby & Rufus show. Love that we get to see how Bobby really comes up with all the lore the boys need when they call him. Loved him working the phone bank. And I loved the flirty neighbor. Don't give up on Bobby just yet! He's really a sweet guy under all that gruff. And blood. And gore.

And it's no surprise that Crowley weaseled out of giving up his claim on Bobby's soul. Poor Crowley, having so much trouble running hell. He and Cas need to get together over a bottle of whiskey and have a good gripe session. I would totally tune in to watch that, too. Loved how Bobby got his soul back, loved all the Sam and Dean bits, and loved loved loved them going to Scotland. Even if it did involve a plane ride. Aw, Dean.

Interesting bit of information about the demons, that they can be destroyed by torching their remains.

I give JA two thumbs up on the directing. The only part that seemed to go over the top was the chipper with the blood--a bit heavy-handed, but still, it was funny.

I've always loved all the humorous SPN eps, and this one is no exception. Need to rewatch now.

LOL What's Supernatural without gooooore. I'm hoping the neighbor gives Bobby a second chance. Maybe as a token of her gratitude? Poor Bobby.

Some of the humorous episodes were too much for me, especially recently, but this managed to stay on track with the tone of the season and strike the right balance.
I'm a happy camper.

Hah, true, I guess it's not a Supernatural ep if we don't get the gore! And the adorable neighbor definitely needs to give Bobby a second chance. I have my fingers crossed for him. *g*

I just want the poor guy to finally get a piece of that cobbler! Loved this ep, I am with you on the Bobby and Rufus show. Major props to JA with the directing, I though he did a really nice job, especially on the little things like the clock flipping as Bobby stayed up all night. I have to confess I loved the woodchipper part, I am taking it as a homage to all those scary movies I grew up with. ;)

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Mmmm...peach cobbler! I was craving some by the end of it. I hope Jim got to have some, at least. *g*

Yes, the clock flipping as Bobby worked, I loved that. Plus I loved the clock itself, with the flip numbers. Had one of those for the longest time when I was a kid.

Good point about the woodchipper. I was a classic. I'll take it as a homage, too! Makes me feel better about it.

Poor Crowley, having so much trouble running hell. He and Cas need to get together over a bottle of whiskey and have a good gripe session.
LOL. Yes, PLEASE!!

Hee, I loved this episode. Bobby is full on awesome and so were the rest of the cast. The continuity was fabuluous, too: Dean who's afraid of flying, Bobby who knows Japan/Japanese ... I wonder if Bobby's ever been to Japan. That might make a great episode for the Bobby Singer spin-off. Because they're planning that right? Right??

[dark-cygnet.livejournal.com]

I totally think Bobby was in Japan at one time or another. Maybe when he was younger, like Wolverine! So who is going to write that? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

[murron.livejournal.com]

Oh yes WE NEED THAT STORY!!!!

What's with all the cool dudes and their history: Bobby & Rufus, Cas & Balthazar ... man, this is storywriter heaven :)!

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

The continuity made me so happy! And I think Bobby definitely needs to go to Japan. With Rufus. That would be totally awesome.

[murron.livejournal.com]

Maybe they were there when they were younger? When Bobby was still a hunter newbie and Rufus taught him the ropes and saved his ass?

Hee. I need a Bobby & Rufus icon!!

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, a Bobby and Rufus icon! I'm keeping an eye out for screencaps. *g*

And I love the idea that Rufus taught him how to hunt. In japan.

[murron.livejournal.com]

There have to be screencaps after this ep! Lots and lots and lots of them!!

Could be Bobby needed to get as far away from home as possible after what happened to his wife. And since he'd always been fascinated by Japan he figured the trip might distract him. But then it was all rainy and gloomy and full of monsters lurking in closets. He'd been halfway down the hunting lane when he met Rufus, who yelled at him for being such a greenhorn.

It's not like I have other stories to write, damn it :)

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you can fit this one in! Because I'd totally read it. I'm just sayin'. *g*

[wpadmirer.livejournal.com]

I'm with you. I really enjoyed this episode a lot!

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

It hit all the right notes, didn't it? I love the funny stuff.

[dark-cygnet.livejournal.com]

I also meant to say that when Sam and Dean were in the little car I immediately thought of this fic: Winchester, Like the Bishopric. See? Fanfic writers really are psychic!

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

I'll have to check that out!

[dark-cygnet.livejournal.com]

There is a link at my journal if you scroll down a little ways as I recced it. It made me laugh out loud. Enjoy!

I would tune in every week to watch the Bobby & Rufus show.

I know, right? Add in Crowley as the pain-in-the-ass sidekick and, ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner! *g*

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Oh, Crowley, absolutely. He'd add just the right amount of spice to it!

man, i LOVED Rufus. i really hope we see a lot more of him this season.

i absolutely love Jensen's directing style; he doesn't seem to enjoy lingering too long on any one shot, which i really love and i think it really suited an episode like this. c:

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Show definitely needs more Rufus!!

I agree about the directing, the pacing was wonderful, especially for a humorous ep, which can really fall flat if not done right. Kudos to JA!
