One thing about 6.04
Okay, so I was squicked by this, and am wondering why, after everything else, Show appears to be glossing over it.
So Bobby tortured a demon in his basement, then casually torched her bones and ended her.
1- Hasn't Show gone out of its way to show us that TORTURE IS BAD?
See Dean in 5.04: "Oh, man, something is broken in you!" & "Oh, we're torturing again. Oh, yeah, that's classy."
Also, Dean tortured under duress every time: after breaking in hell, after being manipulated and jerked around by angels, and in 5.04 when Lucifer and the Colt were at stake. Not only that, but each time it was CLEARLY represented as being wrong-wrong-wrong. Morally repugnant, even.
In contrast to this, Bobby is torturing for his own personal benefit. He also has TEN YEARS to get the information he wants (okay, nine). Are such drastic measures truly necessary right this moment?
I was also pretty appalled at how casual he was about the whole business.
2- What about the demon's meat suit? Bobby knows how to perform an exorcism, so are we meant to believe that he was just testing his theory?
Between that and last year's demon-blood-bath, are we meant to believe now that the meat suits are just collateral damage and no one cares about them anymore?
Seriously, Show, WTF?
Anyone? Thoughts?

Re: PS
I keep reading the wrong metas/episode reactions, and so I've stopped reading them entirely because the amount of bile being spewed just depresses me. It's like some of the "veteran" fans not only don't like the show anymore, but are determined to find reasons not to like even the parts they enjoyed.
I don't want to be an embittered fan, so I've had to stop reading. Sometimes even when the post itself is positive, the comments are all vitriol. So. :(
