Because we're talking *television*, here. And catering to the lowest common denominator. And *executives* who live on planet Hollywood. So, yeah, i think any long-term woman introduced at this point who wasn't Missouri would be a love-interest or another demon. Sorry to say, that's the way *television* people think.
That's what we *get*. Perfectly good shows ruined because 'they' feel they *have* to throw together *somebody* and have UST and love-gone-wrong and blah blah blah to make the show have *drama*. They haven't learned that love and death are *not* the only dramatic plot elements out there.
A sister, at this point, would be as forced as a love-interest. Unless s/he meant a sister-like figure? *haven't read all the comments since i posted* A 'real' sister - no. Just...a plot contrivance. A 'sister-like' person...eh. I don't, frankly, trust the writers that far. Some of the fanfic writers? In a heartbeat. But not people who're getting paid to get the biggest slice of the demographic pie.
This show is about a father and his two sons or - really - about two brothers and their father. I *like* it. I enjoy the dynamic. I don't see the need to insert a female character in there just because there isn't one, and i don't feel like i'm 'losing' something because there isn't a female character. There are *plenty* of shows with strong female leads i enjoy - the 'Bones' show springs to mind, as does the SVU law and order show, SGA, hell, even House.
Spn *not* having a female lead or main/recurring character doesn't make it bad, or sexist, or anything else. It makes it what it is.
