Supernatural: Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid

I enjoyed this episode. Death made his presence felt but did not actually make an appearance. The zombies raised by Death were a fresh twist on an old horror movie cliche. The risen dead got five days worth of good times before becoming flesh eating killing machines.

Bobby's wife has been mentioned in the past and if I remember correctly her ghostly form may have been in a previous episode. I have not re-watched any Supernatural recently so my grasp on the canon is not as strong as it should be. That said I do remember Bobby talking about how he killed his wife in past episodes so I do have a grasp of the material, however tenuous.

I must say I miss the old, pre-wheels, Bobby. Bobby the father figure who always had a plan and a knack for exposition was the best non-Sam/Dean character in this series. Unfortunately, Bobby plus wheels is a sad and bitter man. I had not realized how much I missed the old Bobby until we got to see him relatively happy again when his wife was back. Aimless, unmotivated, angry Bobby is just not that much fun to watch.

Both War and Famine have been dispatched by Sam and Dean already. Now that Death is in the picture I am fairly certain the the fourth horseman of the Supernatural apocalypse is Conquest and not Pestilence. Disease has already been done on this show twice with the Croatoan virus and I think the writers of this series could go down an intriguing dramatic path with Conquest.
