3)I sometimes feel like the writers have notes full of terms/insults/catchphrases that have previously been used and pick at random.
I have to say, that's one thing that's really bugged me since S5 and especially in S7. Bobby actually never said "balls" before 6x04. But since it went over well, the writers just turned Bobby into a "Balls"/"idjits" catchphrase spewer in S7, and his death and reappearance as a ghost were not so powerful because the writers just had him repeat those words rather than actually say something profound and emotional. Absolutely one of my biggest nitpicks with the writers. It's lazy, pure and simple.
(Psst, your DCBB is open on a tab, ready to read...will it be on AO3 or a DL available?)
If this turns out to NOT be a hint that Sam has in fact been involved in the hunting life in some way then I will be quite annoyed.Agreed. I think Sam was up to something really major. Maybe trying to develop enough power to kill all the demons/monsters, out of grief at losing Dean. Maybe

Yes! He really did just become a catchphrase machine. I have numerous issues with the Bobby ghost storyline and that he didn't get to say something really profound is one of them

I hate Crowley and I want to see him die. Painfully. Ah well...

You do realize that was the "withdrawal" the guy made at the first bit of the episode. I didn't realize that until I saw a gif set. But ewwww.
