but if she had just been a guest character in this one I wouldn`t find fault with her. So why wasn`t she written like this from the start?
That was my reaction to this exactly, though even if she had been, I'd still hate the whole roadhouse thing.
Bobby? Is officially made of awesome. He rocks my socks off really.
Me too. Now this is how they need to introduce new characters to the show--recurring characters that is.
I think the thing that bugs me the most about the Roadhouse is that they tried too hard to retrofit a backstory that would make sense in the here and now, and it didn't fit what we knew already, whereas Bobby fit right in. They didn't give him an elaborate backstory or whiny relatives with whom he doesn't get along or a Screech living in his back room. *g*
He didn't get character development at first because he was a character--and he still is. He doesn't need a hokey backstory--he just needs to be. We don't need to know right now if he has any kids, if he loved his parents, or if he has any geeky friends. Now that I like him, perhaps I would *now* care about knowing more about those things in the future.
So yeah, stellar all around. Great writing, great acting by both the boys. This was Sam`s ep or NotSam`s as the case maybe and he deservedly got to shine.JPad lead the action here and JA held his own against it,
That's what I thought the first time I watched it, but the second time, I realized it really was all about Dean--torturing Dean. At least for me, that's what it was about. *g* Dean angst. *g*
Previews for next week looked very funny. I hope they can make the transition as easy as Shadow-Hellhouse last year.
:-) I think it looks awesome. I hope it's good, though I'm not entirely sure I'll like all that I read in the sides.
