While I'm on the topic of 5.13

Dear Supernatural,

Please to stop killing your wimmens.

Seriously.

I'm going to start taking it personally at this point. Just because one part of fandom hates the female characters you introduce (here's a hint: fandom is BATSHIT CRAZY and you should ignore them!), that doesn't mean you should automatically kill them off the minute they start being strong, interesting and independent.

No love,

Me


Heck, I don't like Anna. I just don't want her to be dead. I DID like Ellen and Jo, and I'm really pissed that they essentially died for nothing. Why the HELL did they kill off Pamela? That was completely narratively uninteresting.

In short, if you're a woman on Supernatural you may as well be wearing a red shirt and wandering away from the party.

This isn't a deal-breaker for me, because I do love the show otherwise. Still, it pisses me off.

I loved Anna, even though she was trying to kill Sam - which, I have to admit, is at least a decent plan, and she was trying to save the world so I really don't know where Michael gets off killing her. Plus her death was so... I don't know. Terrible? She didn't deserve it. At least Ellen and Jo went out as heroes (imho). Anna, who's been the only really good angel from beginning to end died as a "villian". I wish Castiel hadn't stopped Sam and Dean seeing her. Honestly. Grr.

Still. I love this show. *is so fickle*

Also, if they kill Becky or Meg (especially Becky) I will throw SUCH a fit.

I'm predicting Meg will be dead by the end of this season.

Someone else said that Becky is too unimportant to kill, and I'm inclined to agree.

*joins you in being fickle*

I just wish they'd let some of the recurring female characters live. :(
