And I really agree with this. I never saw the absence of women on the show as a sign for "keep them barefoot, pregnant and out." The premise was two guys fighting evil and I soon found myself invested in the guys.
There are some shows who have female leads yet if the show killed them all off I wouldn`t really care because I do not care about their characters. I doesn`t work like: Me-woman, there-woman, me-likes. The character is what counts. Be they male or female.
And I`m soo glad they didn`t go the route in keeping Jess alive and adding her to the backseat or something because dear god in heaven I could see a love triangle rearing it`s ugly head right now. I`m so sick of this theme. And frankly I don`t want a kick-ass chick in the backseat ever. Whose only reason for being there is being the quota-woman and love interest for the guys.
Write in a good female villain or an experienced female hunter or a helper in the human world. There are enough possibilities that don`t end up in a Lana Lang.
And as for needing strong female characters as in well written, I miss them on lots of show. And lots of them do have females in the cast. It`s not the same thing.
