Weekend at Bobby's

This show has been... Difficult. I want to like this show but I just don't. My friends rave about it and I needed a new binge. I've almost stopped watching a couple times now, but it pains me to leave a binge unfinished.

I am so glad that I stuck with it. Even if I let it go after this, I will still remember this episode. It's hilarious! Bobby is much more interesting to me than the two lead characters, and I quite enjoyed this one off episode with Bobby as the central focus.

Now can someone tell me if there's one like it for Castiel? That would be worth continuing to watch...

It was about time for a Bobby Singer centered episode! Jim Beaver is outstanding! I love his interactions with Crowley and it was great to have Jody Mills and Rufus Turner again on the show and to get a brief glimpse of Garth...Bobby's speech to the boys is also a highlight...Amazing episode, a fantastic debut of Jensen Ackles as a director!

Bobby summons Crowley and finds that the demon has no intention of returning his soul and has given ten additional years of life for him. Meanwhile, Dean and Sam ask Bobby to advise which demon is killing people in Wisconsin, and after a long research, Bobby informs that is a Lamia. Then Rufus knocks on Bobby's door with the corpse of a demon Okami to bury it. However the demon is still alive and Bobby has to seek it out and vanquish the demon. Dean and Sam travel to Scotland and help Bobby to get his soul back. When Bobby is ready to eat a slice of the peach cobbler his next door neighbor Marcy Ward gave to welcome him in the neighborhood, he receives another urgent phone call.

"Weekend at Bobby's" is a delightful and witty episode of "Supernatural" and the best so far this weak Sixth Season has offered to the fans. The comedy works perfectly well associated to lots of action. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Fim de Semana na Casa do Bobby" ("Weekend at Bobby's")

Weekend at Bobby's started off a bit misguided, and at first I was skeptical, but as it goes on it proves that it is a great episode, with enough storyline progression and humor.

This if the first episode where we see a glimpse of Bobby's actual life apart from the boys. I actually cannot believe that it took this long, and anyway, here are some very disturbing scenes (the demon execution in Bobby's basement0 and some very funny scenes (the woman). What I loved about the episode was the mention of what I consider to be the best horror film of the last decade- Drag Me To Hell. The first mention of it was in the demon that Sam and Dean were tracking down, the Lamia, and then a conversation between Bobby and the woman who is interested in him. It was a nice homage to the film, and in that element the episode also worked well as comedy.

What viewers of SPN forget is how much writing goes into the background, and all the secondary characters. Jodie, Rufus, and Bobby get fleshed out here, along with building Crowley's character, to show the world beyond angels and demons and boys who kill bumps in the night. The lore and the research we usually just get bits and bobs of is laid out a bit more, along with the issue of bodies and evidence - remember why the vampires always went poof on Buffy? So there wasn't all the clean up? Seeing the background stories makes a lot of what we see weekly even more enjoyable. Plus, this episode is a real start of building the extended universe down the road (say hi, Garth! We'll see you next year!) This is an excellent episode set around the world we don't see, giving us reasons to care about the people we usually only get a few moments with here and there, and it gives the writers a whole new mine of jewels to dig into.
