The "Road So Far" this time, set to Speedwagon, was one of the best in an age. I played it three times. Liked it better than the show itself.<br /><br />Except the final scene set to Traffic. The lyrics to that song are perfect for what the boys, especially Dean, are going through.<br /><br />Kudos to whomever chose the music this time around.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-85411741178114027022012-01-11T17:27:27.337-05:002012-01-11T17:27:27.337-05:00Great review as always, Billie.
I really REALLY w...Great review as always, Billie.<br /><br />I really REALLY wish they didn't kill off Bobby. The Winchesters are so lonely that it really hurts to see them so friggin alone all the time. And, yeah, I loved Bobby too. I think they followed up on his death pretty well, without making the episode too death-orientated, and still got the story forward. Looking forward to your next one!<br /><br />PS: Nicely spotted about the beer bottle in your comment, that never occurred to me at all.Pandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278058860653997977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-91171200248861706792012-01-09T12:48:45.643-05:002012-01-09T12:48:45.643-05:00I had assumed that Frank checked the other 9 possi...I had assumed that Frank checked the other 9 possibilities for coordinates and the 3 was the only one that cross-referenced to something owned by Dick Roman.

It occured to me that if only the last number was missing from Bobby's numbers, then there would be 10 possibilities for coordinates. 3 would not be the only viable end number, every other single digit would work too. I guess all the coordinates would be fairly close together, and along a single line of latitude so I guess it doesn't matter too much!Harrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-23920166864934674902012-01-08T12:19:18.245-05:002012-01-08T12:19:18.245-05:00It just occurred to me that maybe ghost Bobby empt...It just occurred to me that maybe ghost Bobby emptied Dean's beer bottle because he is trying to get Dean to stop drinking.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-52198729918267889032012-01-08T12:06:04.702-05:002012-01-08T12:06:04.702-05:00I liked this quite a bit as well.

Mourning John was it's own mini story arc - I think Bobby deserves at least a couple of episodes.<br /><br />I'm not normally a big fan of smart alecky kids but this one won me over (although her name didn't register. Didn't realize her name was Krissy until I read this review.) I wouldn't mind if they had her back, although that would mean she failed at getting out of the life. But that'll probably happen anyway so...<br /><br />Dean's "happy face" at the end was indeed gut-wrenching. JP and JA are such good actors they make you feel the Winchester's pain. It's really frustrating watching two people so close together yet suffering alone. Sadly realistic but frustrating.<br /><br />I think Bobby is still around. I don't know how they are going to pull it off but I would actually put real cash money on him being back before the end of the season.<br /><br />I'll give it 7.5 out of 10. That's a good score for me but they lose half a point for not enough Sam mourning on screen.<br /><br />RoseComposeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-82300082021403486632012-01-08T08:17:54.013-05:002012-01-08T08:17:54.013-05:00I liked this a lot and I feel it dealt nicely with...I liked this a lot and I feel it dealt nicely with Bobby´s passing.

It felt like a good old school monster episode (sans Bobby). I spent the whole episode trying to place the young girl. I think she may have been in <i>The Mentalist</i>.<br /><br />I thought the mysteriously emptying beer bottle was just an indication of how much Dean's drinking. He's knocking it back so fast he's losing track; an indication that his drinking (already out of control) is getting worse.Paul Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01979646022056755322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-64224769643585891312012-01-08T04:30:41.374-05:002012-01-08T04:30:41.374-05:00I agree with Jess -- whoever came up with the idea...I agree with Jess -- whoever came up with the idea of him doing weird little grimace smiles in the car rather than breaking down deserves a gold star.

It wasn't the best episode, but it had some really strong moments, and I felt like it fully carried the weight of Bobby's death and dealt with its impact well. Given the title, I went into this one prepared to be totally put off by the tone, and to possibly done with the series. But they handled things well enough that I'm not ready to hang it up just yet.<br /><br />The best moments for me were (1) Dean's confrontation with Frank, in which Frank told him he needed to get out or buck up and be a professional, and (2) the later payoff to that scene with Dean's final moments in the car. I almost started crying watching him trying to "do it with a smile" but not being quite able to. Heartbreaking.<br /><br />I think the "disappearing beer" was just supposed to be an indication of how obsessively focused Dean was becoming with the Dick Roman hunt, and how tired he was. I think he just drank it and didn't realize it. No ghostly funny business.Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-58455739955716732992012-01-07T22:22:42.510-05:002012-01-07T22:22:42.510-05:00That's right.

A hint that Bobby is around?!<br /><br />Kind of a spin-the-wheels episode. No new ground covered. Sam and Dean both reacted as expected. After the brilliance of the last episode I guess that is to be expected.<br /><br />Oh was the brunette Red (Riding Hood) in Once Upon a Time?<br /><br />I'd give it two and a 1/2 sweetie pops.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
