SPN 6x04

[fox_in_the_library]

Oh boy, you guys, I think my show might be back! *dances up and down*  Weekend at Bobby's felt like a cross between a Season 2 outtake and a really fun fanfic. The whole show was basically Bobby and Rufus snarking at each other, and everyone being awesome. Tense, funny, poking fun at itself - this is what I got into Supernatural to watch. Jim Beaver carried the whole thing effortlessly, and major kudos to Jensen Ackles for directing the best episode of SPN in forever and a half. The pacing was tight, the comic timing was spot-on, the episode was consistently entertaining, and everyone looked like they were having a blast.  I suppose it's too much to hope that this will continue - next week we'll be back to the 'Apocalypse Now: Everybody Mope Redux", but in the meantime, I think they ought to give all of the stand-alone episodes  to Mr. Ackles to direct, since he's pretty darn good at it.
