ZOMBIES! THERE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ZOMBIES TONIGHT HOLY CRAP!
It's difficult for me to express my undying love for zombies (pun totally intended) properly, but let's just say they are my favourite type of monster ever, bar none. I could go on and on and on about them, but that's not the point of this post.
LET THE CAPSLOCKING BEGIN, APPARENTLY.
Ooh, nice nod to Romero there, and the classic fist-punching up through the ground.
Okay, the tried-and-true trope of having the TV-in-the-TV narrate what's going on in a meta fashion. Cute, and SPN still knows how to do a fantastic suspenseful teaser.
"Who died and made you queen?" Hee! You go, Digger. Don't let the man tell you you can't make up your own nickname.
*dies*
THE SHERIFF KNOWS BOBBY!
*dies more*
Bobby cleaned his house. If I didn't already know what this episode was sort of about, I'd know something was up just because of that. Also, where's his ball cap?
Soccer!Dad!Zombie!
"I'm a taxpayer!"
Aaaaand the boys are in jail. Again.
UNDEAD!WIFE! GAH!
This can't end well.
CREMATED?!?!? HOLY SHIT!!!!
Horseman.
Oh, Dean, SNAP! "Another horseman. Must be Thursday."
Oh, Bobby.
*cries*
Dean leaning against the Impala is always bad-ass.
Aww, wifey is bringing him in for pie!
Lots of pie. Holy crap, PIES EVERYWHERE! I note that Dean is not averse to eating the enemy's pie, that being said.
She's giving him the standard I-love-Bobby-and-want-him-safe-just-like-you spiel. "I am not the enemy." Oh, this cannot possibly end well.
Sneaky!Sam
"I'm gonna regret this." Yes, yes Sammy, you are.
RABID!ZOMBIE! Who didn't see that coming? *looks around* *crickets*
YESSSSS! HEADSHOTS! FINALLY!
I wonder if the really gross viscous zombie spit is significant. Certainly there was a lot of it.
Fast zombies. Boo. Everyone knows those aren't real zombies. *scoffs*
I keep wondering about the sheriff's son. I can't help but feel that there is potential heartbreak there. Also, fodder for an outsider POV ficlet, if Show glosses over that.
Oh, Bobby. What is it with you and herding Winchesters off your property at gunpoint?
Yeah, Dean. That seems fair. You save Bobby, Sam saves... everyone else. I guess Bobby IS worth an entire town full of NPCs...
Okay, well, I guess the Sheriff's on board now. GAH!
Oh, JESUS CHRIST CRAP OH MY GOD, SAM! THE LITTLE BOY! Urgh. That is almost as horrible as the empty bloodstained baby seat in "Croatoan."
WHAT WAS THE MESSAGE, WOMAN, SPILL! AAAAH! Speaking of "Croatoan," I guess we
How on Earth did Bobby suddenly develop a bad rep in town? Town drunk? That totally doesn't jive with the whole hunters-keep-a-low-profile, thing. Unless it's a reference to the "drunk and disorderly" stuff the Sheriff mentioned, which I guess might come as a result of local hunts.
Oh, Bobby.
SCRAPYARD ZOMBIE HUNT! Come on, the best place to fight zombies is in a scrap yard, everyone knows that!
They really DO need bungee cords!
HOLY CRAP ZOMBIES! I thought there were only 20 or so? Where the hell did they all come from and why are they ALL coming for Bobby's place?
Huh. Apparently Dean wants to know that too.
Bobby knows! Must be the message his wife gave him.
LOCKPICKING ZOMBIES! Awesome!
"Don't you ever get tired of being wrong?" Haha, Bobby!
BADASS!SAM to the rescue! Woah, Sam. That is a LOT of carnage. I was actually a bit worried about Bobby's fate there for a moment.
Blood spatter on the camera lens, FTW!
Woah, giant bonfire!
Apparently Karen gets her own private bonfire.
Sam, stop asking people if they're okay.
Erf. Well, the message isn't unexpected. Everybody around the Winchesters gets to suffer until they say "Yes."
SAM, SERIOUSLY, HONEY. I KNOW YOU MEAN WELL, BUT QUIT ASKING BOBBY IF HE'S GOING TO BE OKAY. FOR ONE, HE'S NOT, AND FOR TWO, YOU NEED TO STOP RELYING ON OTHER PEOPLE TO BE STRONG FOR YOU.
UNF.
My heart, she is broken. Goddamn, this show is putting me through the wringer. God.
(On an only slightly related note: Thank goodness for all the episode codas and tags after last time, because I am feeling seriously gypped by the lack of detoxing!Sam and the proper reconciliation that should be taking place between the boys.)

(Disclaimer: But I have found very little to complain about this season anyway. And I've decided to stop lurking at TWoP because I hate those bizzaches who say every episode is boring and they hate angst).
I agree with just about everything you said.
Loved Bobby (Jim, you rock and your wife would be proud -- is shining down on you even now).
Oh, man -- Sam -- he looked so worn still. Subdued. And that's just how it should be, given what he's just come off of. And, oh man, my fucking twisted mind when that Jones zombie-thing was hacking away and wanted him to come close and he didn't want to, and then she spewed that shit aon hsi face -- I was all, "oh, God, please, if you could somehow get him sick I would worship you forever," -- lol, I just want some sick!Boys so bad. . .
I did feel gipped (gypped -- SP?) that we got so little of Sam and Dean's post-detox, given how broken both of them were in MBV -- but I almost expected it to be left unaddressed, just like Dean's post-Hell issues. I guess that's what fan fic is for (*sigh*).
Oh, and Dean. What can be said? He's always there, always on, always brings his A game. Damn you Jensen, for killing me with your awesomeness.
Not that Jared doesn't. He does. But sometimes, Sam's actions are ones I have to give more thought to. Which is a good thing.
I need to stop here and go reread your post. Because the first time through was squee-worthy but then I had to come here and spill my initial thoughts and now I have to go and think some more on tonight's greatness (and I DO think it was great, but I am probably the easiest person on the planet to please as far as SN goes). : )

I always have to give more thought to Sam's actions, and while it's not necessarily a bad thing, I keep waiting for those character-centered episodes about Sam that they've been giving us about Dean the whole time.
I still need to write that Sam-is-a-plot-device meta that's floating around in the back of my head.

Yes, this.
Still waiting for Kripke to fix what he broke, too. :(
