Though Bobby might live or might die, whatever the outcome will be, i find this new series beyond hilarious... Especially in the previous episode, the pun shown in the news footage of the lead Leviathan : THE RISE OF DICK...
made me roll off my couch from laughter.
I just hope they will keep it up with the mix of humor, horror and anti-heroism.
I for one hope that with the death of Bobby, if he dies, they will gain an ally upstairs, since most angels were offed, Alistair loves his whiskey too much and God is still on a holiday. Though I do not like the Leviathan plot that much, it becomes more and more like a sci fi flick reminiscent of the invasion of the body snatchers, it still is great enough to keep watching. It is by far the funniest series I have ever seen in this genre.

I think it was a great episode weather Bobby is really gone or not. We got to see why he is the way he is. With this show dead doesn't always mean dead. I hope he is brought back somehow some way. The boys need atleast one person in their lives and hearts to actually survive

I guess I'm the only one hoping he doesn't come back. It was a fitting end to his character. Why go through the whole thing just to bring him back to life in the end. There's not enough classy farewells on TV but plenty of eye rolling chessy returns. Let him be.

As far as i know from what i watched, he recovered from the coma didnt he? It's good. Now the bad thing is the heart attack. Medics are trying to save him from a heart attack.That's why the "death guy" told him his brain is dieing fast. That's when the episode ended. There's not much to say. Now the question is: Was the medic team able to get his heart beating again ? If yes, was that on time so his brain is still ok? If not, will he stay in coma?.... In the worse case, medics would not be able to get his heart back so his brain would be killed... in my opinion, supernatural without bobby singer is not supernatural.

I may sound ignorant, but I don't believe Bobby is dead, nor do I believe he'll die sometime soon. If the show wanted to kill off Bobby, they would have done it along time ago. If they were to kill him off, it would be done in a Ellen & Jo Harvelle type style.

Later there is supposed to be an episode titled time and again and again. I also heard rumors that there will be a time travel episode (time travel has been done 3 times so far). So maybe Dean and Sam will change things in the past to save Bobby and Cas

My theory is that Bobby is God. We never found out who God is (Maybe it's Chuck, I don't know), but it makes sense that if Sam is Lucifer and Dean is Michael, their father (Or father figure) would be God. Besides if this was the case and they wanted to keep it secret, they would cut of the moment the reaper realises this...
I will hope for this anyway. Castiel was my favourite character, but I would rather see Bobby return than him. Bobby has been there so much longer, the show wont seem the same without him.

I can't hardly stand knowing Bobby is dead...Castiel's death sucked and was hard enough but I understood how that could be, but Bobby?
He's like MY Father
I am actually sitting here sobbing for on so many levels I look and sound like a twit!
This was a GREAT episode, it was a sad episode...
I am praying there's some sort of reprieve, surely Bobby can't be dead, he's got to be in limbo, something anything but dead...and while they're at it how about bring Cas back.
They need him to fight this Dick fella (what a fitting name for that guy, Dick!)

I agree it was a great and heart wrenching episode. I loved seeing into who Bobby was not just the hunting part.
Before everyone jumps ship, I think this is part of a bigger storyline, and whether or not it finishes the end of the season or next I think its going to be interesting. I just have this feeling that they are not going to let Bobby or even Cas stay dead.
I first thought perhaps once Sam and Dean go and defeat the leviatians.. God or someone else will somehow bring Cas and bobby back..perhaps as a reward or such? Itll be one of the supposably hardest battles since they dont know how to kill them, then to top it off of not having Cas or bobby will make it even worse.
Of course I like the idea mentioned of Sam being still in the cage. Or something having to do with Lucifer. Perhaps Lucifer got out of the cage somehow. So many possibilities that itll be interesting to see how this goes!

And a comment on the idiot who thinks SPN is Sam's story, what planet are you from??? SPN has indeed always been a story about brothers and family, the monsters are just bonus. True, the seasons usually switch between the 'front and center-guy' but in 7 seasons, Dean has had an equal part of crap comming over him. So maybe you should just stick to watching TVD, because that show sure isn't 'over the ffing top'...

This was an absoulute fav episode.. you could just see the father Bobby actually was, despite John telling him he's not... It was a sad and teary episode, and i loved every minute.
But, i get where you all are coming from to.. killing Bobby, and doing so, so soon after Cas, this can't spell good news for our favorite brothers. Specially not for Dean, since he's been guilt-ridden enough already. An Sam might just think it's easier to have the devil on his tail...
This being said, you know they usually pull somekind of switch.. so it might be just in sam's head, or he might just stay and be a ghost, or the 'organ-memory' thing... how about we wait and see.. and hope they'll all make it out, semi-sane (or at least not more insane than they already are) :)

Looks to me like their setting up the 'haunted heart' switch. Bobby's essence in another body. Otherwise the whole Organ Harvest guy was completely pointless. They had to put that bug in there to start the ball rolling.
Other than that....They COULD be pulling a full season switcheroo. Maybe Sam IS still in his cell in Hell and being tortured. Maybe all the characters disappearing one by one is a way of breaking Sam down. Childhood friend/first kiss, close confidant, father figure...then finally, Dean. It COULD all be a season long ruse.
Either way, and no matter what it means for the season, this was a great, emotional, honest episode. If this WAS the "Death Of Bobby" it was a very good send off. Pulling an Eternal Sunshine or no, it was exciting and dramatic.

"oh and someone must fire that Sara Cable (or whatever) she destroyed the series.yes that episode was AMAZING,FANTASTIC,GREAT,BRILLIANT but the girl can't rwrite.She ain't Eric."
How do you not feel incredibly embarrassed after typing that? First of all, her name is Sera Gamble, not Sara Cable. It can't take too much effort to Google that.
Second of all, the girl can't write? ... You typed that after you called an episode SHE wrote "amazing, fantastic, great, and brilliant". Do you realize how foolish you sound? The writing was absolutely phenomenal. Not to mention, the only other episode she wrote this year was the season premiere, which was a great episode.
"and do you know what's her greatest mistake is?SPN from the very beggining was Sam's story.it always was.it still is Sam's story but she try to focus so much on Dean that she kinda looses the other stories!you just can't tell another man's story focuse on another and develop a new story that both can be involved and do

A heartbreaking episode. Bobby is one of my favorite characters and I don't want a Supernatural without him. I don't get why they decided to remove both Cas and Bobby from the show. The boys are already angst-ridden; we don't need them to go down the rabbit hole any further. Seriously. I like that the show can be dark, but it's still always balanced the light and dark. And glum, guilt-laden Dean has been done too much. It's old and boring.
I sort of feel like I'm at the fork at the road (hell, crossroads demon!) this change could either be the best decision they make or the worst. And yes, I'm still praying for a Christmas miracle and that Bobby and Cas aren't dead and the whole leviathan storyline never happened. Okay, the first episode back with Cas as a Levithan but after that - crickets.
I don't think this is the last season of Supernatural. It's still one of the best performing shows for the CW and my impression was they had a good chance of one more season. Granted, withou
I dont want Bobby to die I feel he is as much of a leading part as Dean and Sam are, Bobby brought laughter to the show, love for Dean and Sam he showed that you dont actually have to be a father, in order to love two young men, he became a great friend and father to both Winchester boy's helped them through good and bad scrapes. No I feel its a bad call to get rid of Bobby there are so many stories that could be made with the three of them. DONT LET BOBBY DIE.

Im pretty sure he is dead because that pocket watch tickin from the beginning scene with the reaper could heard as the screen faded to black. It ticked for a few seconds and the stopped...indicating that e said yes and is his time is up.

I love Bobby,i really do but i think if he eventually dies his death will help the plot so much!supernatural never took risks.we can argue about castiel but before they killed him they made the character unwanted!noVDw if Bobby dies it will be a whole new thing!Bobby was the same fantastic character till now and a death of a fan favorite who did not change till now will bring a feeling of renewal.look at TVD that's a show that is not afraid of taking risks.they kill fan favorites all the time:Jenna,Lexi,Anna,Vicky(ok she was not so loved but her death was so shocking.it was in the sixth episode for the love of god),Mason,John,Rose.that element in TVD helped the show to say that it was different than the other teen shows.i mean you can be afraid that Elena,the leading character can die before the series finale or the season finale.I just can't see that in SPN.SPN is THE show it kinda sad that it has not the feeling that TVD gives you.
oh and someone must fire that Sara Cable (or wha

Broke my heart! Yes it was a great episode but come on! Stop killing off my favorite characters. This was a great send off compared to Castiel! I am hoping they fix this! I want Castiel & Bobby back! It is scary too like it is their final season which I have heard nothing about. Good episode but I hope it isn't the end for Bobby! Or Castiel! Come on writers! Give them back to us!

this is not fair and I loved when he faced his dad and told him that he adopted Sam and Dean and raised them and they became heroes and saved the world I nearly cried at that scene hopefully Bobby could stay cauze with him leaving and Castiel's Sam and Dean have basiclly no one other than eachother:'(

Love the episode. It was very moving and it's the sort of episode that had that enough amount of drama and thriller. It's sad to see Bobby go (though I'm sort of hoping that he's not going to be gone) but it would definitely make sense if he did. Without Bobby now, I think the difficult situation that Dean and Sam are in becomes more convincing.
I love how there was a moment when Sam pressed his hand, showing that clearly Lucy's still in his head. It will make matters worse. I'm looking forward to how Dean's going to handle losing Bobby and having a deranged brother. Goodness, this show is so good.

This is by far the best and most emotiona episode ever. I am still in shock. It was so sad to see bobby go out like that if indeed he is gone. I do hooe he stays and finds a way back or sam and dean find away. My heart dropped when i heard the EKG flatline and seeing sam and dean's expression. And to top it off i put my self in their place wich made it even worse. DICK!! THEY'RE COMING FOR YOU YOU S.O.B!!!!!
Great episode - one of the best of the season. I hope Bobby stays as a ghost and helps the Winchester brothers in a new "configuration."

This was a bad episode! I would rather see Sam go than Bobby! I have watched since day one and as a fan have put up with lots. From losing Kripke,to the season directly afterwards. Which was almost painful to watch, cause the show took on a ridiculious direction. THEN, they took Cass away from us, which was bad enough because they didn't even give him a proper death. NOWWWWWW, they are taking Bobby. Or at least it looks that way. I, for one, will completely stop watching the show if they truely are getting rid of Bobby. And I don't think that I'm the only fan that will be done with the show if that happens either. Bobby evens everything out in the show. Without him, frankly, it will suck.
This was the best episode of the season. Wow simply great. I hate that everyone is saying its the end. I cant face up to that fact yet. Anyway the new director of the CW said that he is looking forward to more seasons. Remember to vote for Supernatural in the peoples choice awards 2012.
I personally have followed Supernatural since the beginning as I am sure many Fans have. However , this episode was the best - worst episode ever.I cried so hard it was like loosing a loved one all over again.
With the death of two family members of my own family it was not easily grasped that you took Two characters off of Supernatural as well. Castiel was almost enough for me to stop watching or so I threatened . But , after seeing Bobby die it ripped me into shreds expecially seeing his last memory he chose OMG tears still streaming....
I understand that all things must come to an end and it seems as if the show is letting us go ... This will shock us and keep us in shock if it ends this way. I can only hope and pray that they get picked up one more year because people seem to think it has run its course but to me they just need a Kirpke moment back again.
Either way I say this .... A show that has made a family that once was not really close has bonded over common thread --
