Yeah. They're like bloodhounds crossed with sharks! You can't reason with them or trick them, for they are MINDLESS KILLING MACHINES! MWAHAHAHAHAHA! BLOODHOUNDS! SHARKS! WITH FRICKIN' LASER BEAMS!

Ahem.

In some respects, I think an enemy that isn't thinking is scarier than a thinking one.

Oh, I agree.

Hey! In S6, they could fight SHARKS WITH FRICKIN' LASER BEAMS ON THEIR HEADS!

They could! In shagadelic costumes!

Dean asking if people are horny would not be out of the realm of believability, either.

Ha ha ha ha.

Once Jo was mortally wounded, I wonder if Dean regretted his end-of-the-world seduction schtick. He definitely regretted a lot.

I would imagine so. Especially given the way he kissed her forehead first.

I loved that Jo said no to him -- that crush was obviously long outgrown.

I basically agree with almost everything said here: [link]

And the thing for me is this: I think the show gets gender issue demerits *all over the place* in the generalized sense, but in *this specific instance* it doesn't with Jo and Ellen. (My gender irritations were all Meg-related in this episode.)

Yeah, that's basically my POV. If you're not Sam and Dean, you're fodder for their misery. Hell, if you're Sam XOR Dean you're fodder. You just get to come back because your name's above the fold. Or if you're the car.

All the characters who aren't Sam and Dean are going to be devices. Which means all the women in it are going to be devices. But they picked the structure (a tragedy) and the lead characters (Sam and Dean) and now they're committing to telling that story.

The above is from the link. That's pretty much what I've always believed about the show, and it's why I've had a hard time understanding the unhappiness about Jo and Ellen, for instance, not having larger roles.
