Hopefully together, and in their right minds, and maybe with a heaven they can occasionally share instead of experiencing separately.
#RUFUS SUPERNATURAL SERIES#
I'd be surprised if the series doesn't end with Dean and Sam dying finally, at last. Horrible death, demons ruling the earth, blah blah blah, the Khan worm's threats didn't mean a lot because, even though we got a masterful performance by Jim Beaver when Bobby was possessed, and even though this episode was basically about hunters never making it to enjoy their golden years, it's what the boys have always faced: horror, loss, misery, early death. Plus, see above re: possible real family.) It's a shame, because I would have enjoyed learning more about her. (Third cousin Gwen Campbell, we hardly knew ye.
(And I mean really dead he was shot, cranial-sawed, and electrocuted.) Samuel Campbell could have been real family to the boys, because he was. But I never liked what they did with the resurrected Samuel Campbell and just felt relieved that he was finally dead. X-Files, Stargate Atlantis, he's a science fiction icon. Why did they bury Rufus instead of burning his body to ash, though? Was it because of Rufus' religious beliefs? The Johnny Walker Blue Label was a nice touch, since that was our introduction to Rufus in the first place. I liked the backstory on him and Bobby, too, although just hearing them talk about it early in the episode signaled loud and clear that this was Rufus' swan song. What's not to love? With the monster worm completely invisible and no giveaways that someone was possessed, it was like the characters themselves were expressing their own genuine rage with each other: Sam killing Samuel for betraying Dean, Bobby killing Rufus because Rufus wouldn't forgive him for what happened in Omaha.ĭid they have to kill Rufus, though? I liked Rufus. Six hunters and a monster that can possess any of them without warning, trapped in a deserted building. Just a bit heavier than the last episode, huh? Rufus: "If anything crawls out of anybody, somebody step on it."
