Hmm...you are probably right. Plus, Bobby still forms a function in the storyline - unlike everyone else that they've killed off. Also, I just can't picture Supernatural without the "base" of Bobby's house - which is ironic given that Kripke hated the Roadhouse because he didn't want Hunters to have a home.

Maybe in the coming season though, they won't have need for things like the panic room - or a yard full of scrap cars...but we'll see.

I love the "that time I died" club! :)

I also heard that "spoiler" about Mitch Pileggi. It was originally an Ausellio (or however you spell that) spoiler...so, take it with whatever size grain of salt you want. It'd certainly be awesome to see him again - he and Jensen had good chemistry. I was wondering if maybe they'd go back to heaven or something - but if he's going to be in a "few" episode...well, maybe your guess is right! Regardless, I'm intrigued.
