Ellen was great, and I for one liked Jo a lot--would have liked her with Dean and without, either way. You remember my (admittedly wanky) icon.

And yeah, of all the women in the episode, only Ruby survived, and pretty battered. (Hmm. That juxtaposition is a bit too apt from a Supernatural viewpoint.) I doubt Bella is not set up for a fall some time soon, too. The odds are very much against her.

The thing is, if even the--presumably more intelligent and educated female--livejournal fans often cannot see how deeply troubling this show is, I have no hope whatsoever for Kripke and his ilk realising the desctructive messages they send. They'll keep broadcasting, and enshrining these images and ideas more firmly. And that, that worries me most.
