For some reason, I had it in my head that she (Jo) is 23. I don't know WHERE I got that from.
Wait -- she's w/i a year of Sam's age -- there was something about her birthdate in one of the episodes. She's younger than Sam but not by much.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Have I mentioned here, or just in LJ, how much I want Jo to be one of the kids the demon's after? I doubt it'll come to that, but, man, I find the notion entertaining as heck. Esp. given how that spins the entire Ellen dynamic for me.

Oh, I totally agree -- that would be excellent.

Damn it. Forgot Torchwood was on today in the UK.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
So she's young, and yes, she's Ellen's child, but she's not a little girl. More or less an adult, capable of being responsible for herself, and choosing her own way, whether Ellen likes it or not.
Right, but, whether or not Ellen has legal say in Jo's life, she certainly has a lot of influence. It takes a lot of guts and a really big fight to do as Sam did, break with a parent and go off on your own (socially, financially). Even if Jo is 23 (plausible, although it's headspinny seeing a recent highschooler in that role), that doesn't mean she's ready -- or ever will be -- to break with Ellen.
And Ellen, even if she has no legal sway, certainly has the chutzpah and the ammunition to keep an emotional sway.

Is Alona Tal a recent highschooler? (I have no idea how old she actually is.)

According to imdb, she was born October 20, 1983. So she is 23. Which is not to say that Jo is 23.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Alona Tal is 23, but I think Nutty is referring the the character she played in Veronica Mars, Meg, who was a HS senior last year.
Jo reads as a few years younger than Sam. Sam is canonically what? 24? And Dean is probably 27-28? I think Jo is supposed to be about 20 or 21.

Ah. I think this is where I confess that I've never seen Veronica Mars. (I know, I know, this is almost a capital crime amongst the Buffistas.)

Well, I think Sam is at most 22 -- he was a junior in college last year. I suppose I need to re-watch the pilot and see how many years had passed as of this time last year. (Roughly.)
