I cannot fathom why, when dealing with such a massive, complex storyline, a writer would choose to weigh it down with unnecessary nonsense. Ha, me neither. It baffles me really because the demon tablet/batcave are by far the more obvious choice than rogue reapers. It's like the writers went out of their way to make the story extra illogical and non-canon compliant.
The oddest thing about it is that it changes gears immediately after by having Dean panic when Naomi mentions that Sam went through purgatory. I don't understand that either. Yeah, I think this goes hand in hand with the fact that Ross-Leming/Buckner made no effort whatsoever throughout the whole script to refer to any pre-S8 events. It's like the Winchesters' past history with hell has been erased completely. So of course Dean is nervous about purgatory, because that is part of the limited canon these writers tap into, everything beyond that is one black hole. /sigh
I have trouble believing that Crowley would send Bobby to hell 'just because'. Tell me about it. Crowley's reasoning makes no sense to me either. Bobby killed demons so he has to go to hell? Really? That reasoning basically applies to every hunter, so why single Bobby out? If he had imprisoned Bobby so he could use him against the Winchesters, now that would have made sense. You just never know when a little leverage may come in handy. But no, this was clearly one of those 'Crowley does things because he is EVIL and not because he has well-thought out plans' moments of S8.
That is quite an achievement, and your reviews are so interesting. I always look forward to them. Thank you! :) That means a lot coming from you. *hugs*
