And then the revelation that Ruby was once a witch, and I was left thinking "that was the horrid amazing jaw-dropping backstory they were holding out on? Puh-leeze." And then they pulled the "I remember what it was like to be human/that part of you burns away after a time" and I was pleased. I just wish that Ruby hadn't said "I dun no y I'm so speshul an difrent" cuz it ruined the revelation to Dean for me.
Well, if this were Charmed, Ruby would turn out to be an ancestor of Mary's, and therefore she would be some sort of spirit-guide sent specifically from the beyond by Mary to guide Sam along his way. And then at some point Jess would float around surrounded by sparkly lights, and become corporeal for just one night every ten years or so, and Sam would remain faithful to her memory...I'm not sure how to fit Bela into it all, but seeing as how we're working with the Charmed parameters, I'm sure lots and lots of cleavage would be involved.
I still don't understand how that show lasted for so many years.
All I know is, screw Bela. Dean and Ruby need to have hot, angsty, I-wanna-be-human sex now.
another thing that pinged, and the mysogonism of the show never hit me before, even reading many of the posts here at Buffistas before I ever started watching, but when Dean stabbed that demon over and over and over and over again, and the way the camera lingered on the firey stabs, it just felt
wrong. It felt more wrong than Dean chopping off that vampires head when they first run into Gordon.
Well, grrr. My cable froze when Dean was doing the stabby-stabby and all I saw was one stab.
He kind of went to town on her, but if I remember correctly it was all through the spinal column. It struck me as angry, but not particularly sexual.
I think Dean just has demon issues. I think the writers have female issues. Has anyone ever done a count of how many of the demons on this show are female and how many are male? I'm willing to bet the ratio is way out of whack.

Also, she had just tried to kill Dean long-distance, while he was in the motel room, and then tried to kill both Dean and Sam in the house.
And she killed two (relative) innocents, one right in front of them.
I'm not a huge proponent of the (unconcious) anti-female issues on this show, but that stabbing scene, the way it was filmed, just hit me wrong. I get Dean being angry beyond angry, intellectually, but in that case I would have thought the shot should have been on his face, and not on the stabby porn. Usually I am immune to these things. So maybe all the convos here finally sunk in, or this really was a bit more extreme than the norm. *shrugs*
