..."an outside-perspective story": I think that was what I was struggling with towards the end- I didn't know whose persepctive I was supposed to share. All epsiode long I had the feeling that it was all about Bobby, of course with scenes blended in about the boys, but it seemed all Bobby-related. But in the final scenes it was more like I should be upset with Dean and Sam (or what was I supposed to feel?) because THEY were in the center of attention then. Or not? Maybe the recurring hiati damaged my ability to deeply connect with the characters (which totally doesn't keep me from loving Dean to pieces), but I thought that I should have felt either more joy with Bobby on being able to communicate with the boys eye to eye again OR that I should have been more upset on Dean's behalf. (And why is Sam always so Zen about everything?! Like he is mildly amused by all the problems surround him? He needs lo lay off the Prozac for a while.)
I don't think Bobby has to go darkside immediately- he can last for ages, like other ghosts, but eventually he will go crazy as he has no one else left to bond with and will lose connection to the real world. I think that is what his Reaper implied.
