SPN: Death's Door

[superbadgirl]

Goddamnit.


I might ETA this tomorrow because there are things, but for the moment, that's all I got besides a lump in my gut and a pain in my head.

ETA:

Not only did they do that, but they did it in a way that strips everything. First they took his house, literally, and then they took everything that made him, him. I get the horrible beauty of what was happening and why, the disappearing memories, but it’s too damn much. They took him away, so even if there’s some miracle healing, Bobby’s not going to be Bobby anymore. Yay for drama? Not really. Sam and Dean against the world was fine in S1, when we thought they had no one. But to build up a support system and then just destroy it to “get back to basics” is what I like to call bullshit.

- why was Bobby's wife never once played by the same person?!

- oh, he adopted Sam and Dean because their terrible, abusive father wasn’t good enough for them. How many ways can we retcon John into as big a bastard as possible?

- abusive background was very sad. HATED the “that was when I figured out few would thank you for rescuing them” re: his mother’s reaction.

-oh, Dean. He doesn’t realize, in his own pain, that Sam’s gonna LOSE it, too. I know it’s always been Dean/Bobby slightly more than Sam/Bobby – but when Dean stormed off and Sam sat there trying to will the devil away by clutching at his hand… *wibble*

All in all, I think it was a very well made episode. It was paced phenomenally well (I swear, the first fifteen minutes had me gasping for breath). I don't like the outcome and THEY WILL FIX THIS OR ELSE, but it was very well done.

Now with ETA! ;)
