I really like this Cas time-bubble idea! Especially given what the preview for next week is. Much better than the alternate theory of Bobby's ghost, just because, augh.
That last scene. ;_______; I'm extremely fond of Dean's conversations with Frank, as well. I actually don't mind the random staring; I don't think it was necessarily the best way they could have portrayed eternal staring, but as a concept I'm not unopposed. I think after a certain point and a certain number of horrible events, there's only so much poignancy you can manage for your own life; I won't argue that this 100% absolutely had to be that point, or is that point, for the Winchesters, but I think it's in-line with what Show was going for this episode.
I do, however, agree that it would have been nice for that to get its own episode. It both did and didn't. It did in the sense that nothing happened in this episode (half going on a random hunt and vaguely observing Leviathans do nothing doesn't count); it didn't in the sense that they didn't overtly dedicate much to Bobby!aftermath, either. Which concerns me because it only increases the likelihood of Bobby!ghost, which I think would be cheap, or at the very least undignified. But that's just me. XD
But there was pen-nomming, and sleeping, and even some drinking, and the brink of a Dean!meltdown of some sort, so I must admit I AM PRETTY SATISFIED. XD
Yeah, the idea of Bobby as a ghost does not appeal to me in the slightest. When has being a ghost ever been a good thing? And how could Bobby not know this? He'd never decide to become one, unless that bullet to the head made him a massive idiot. Which, I guess isn't totally impossible...?
Dean's conversation with Frank was really interesting and kinda scary. I just keep thinking of the Joker saying let's put a smile on that face. AND IT IS BAD NEWS. BAD NEWS. Yeah, Dean is now taking advice from paranoid schizophrenics. That can't end well.
