I think that's a nice idea. It's not weird, it's just that the show would need to do some more setting up to get there.
I hope I don't sound like I'm trying to get in the way of anyone's love for the show. That's why I had my little rant here, in my own journal, instead of in anyone's episode review. :)
I certainly haven't hated all the bunker scenes - they're often adorable. I just think the bunker changes the core of the show in a way that Bobby didn't. Bobby was no different to Sam and Dean. He was just older, so he'd read more. There were undeniably times when he was poorly used as the font of all knowledge so a writer could get out of whatever hellish corner he'd backed the characters into, but he didn't intrinsically break anything. He wasn't rich. He could get in trouble with the law. He could be badly hurt. He could say the stupidest things sometimes.
The bunker is smooth. It's glossy. It's elite. It runs on problem-solving magic. Its computers are ridiculously high tech, even though they are big enough to fill a room. Bobby could be a bit much when seriously mishandled. The bunker is the best thing ever by design. It's not that I resent them having a semi-permanent set, or a few more books. It's that ... the whole thing feels a bit like an odd fantasy where a distant relative leaves you a fortune so you never have to work again. It doesn't feel like something that would actually happen.
But don't get me wrong - I want to be interested. If they do go somewhere interesting with this, I will be thrilled.
And Sam's hair ... Well, that's always there. Um. Except for that one scene in Everybody Loves a Clown where I think a rat died on his head and no one told him. :)

Oh no, not at all. I think that's exactly what our journals are for. :)) And I agree with what you are saying - the bunker has indeed changed the show. (and, yeah, I suppose comparing the bunker to Bobby wasn't a good example. I think I mostly meant - exists for knowledge and a sense of home, a bit like Bobby did - but that's where any comparison end *g*).
I think the bunker will create a laziness (well, more laziness) with the writers because as soon as they need a "fix" the bunker will provide it. (And Zeke of course - he's fixing all sort of things).
I love the thinky hun! I like being able to toss around ideas and nut out exactly what the problems are at the moment.
