![]() And we’ve seen over the seasons just how much Bobby has cared for Sam and Dean. ![]() Not only was Bobby not sitting around, but he’d been spending tireless nights trying to find a way to help out his boys. But I also really liked that it was another look at Bobby working something outside of the larger story, and even Dean’s humorous call telling Bobby to stop sitting around reflected that. If anything, it was great to see that reiteration and care Bobby had for Sam and Dean during that glimpse into the past. I was a bit confused by Dean seeing Bobby while he was in the nest, but at least it was sort of explained in the end about space and time. It was also pretty funny that Dean lost out on the rock, paper, scissors battle, forcing him to be the one to get taken by the soul eater. It was all about those creaks and anticipatory moments that elevated the creature of the week. It never felt cheesy, and the very minimal time of actually seeing the soul eater made it that much scarier. I was even pleased with how creepy the soul eater was and the general atmosphere that surrounded the case. What’s more, Sam and Dean had the luxury of some Men of Letters info to allow their end game to be killing the soul eater rather than just trapping it. Plus, it was great jumping back and forth without making it feel like some jarring flashback. It wasn’t wasted screen time telling the same story.Īnd I loved how Sam and Dean and Rufus and Bobby came to different conclusions but sort of wound up in the same area. Their banter was top-notch, and it was great to see their personalties shine through, even if they had a Grumpy Old Men vibe.Īnd who didn’t love that their FBI names were a shout out to Riggs and Murtaugh from Lethal Weapon?īut it was the use of blending the old case with the new that really stood out, making both the past and the present engaging and seamless. ![]() It’ll probably never happen, but Jim Beaver and Steven Williams have been fantastic as Bobby and Rufus, and their chemistry, especially in this episode, makes them an enjoyable watch. If the CW is looking for its Supernatural spin-off, it should be with Bobby and Rufus. It was such a pleasant surprise that this was a satisfying return, and one that didn’t hinge on the larger story of the Darkness, even though it still referenced it with a few quick lines of dialogue. ![]()
