"Supernatrual"it’s been on for ages and it’s one of my favorite shows. The things that we love tend to have its flaws. No matter how much we love them, we still need to realize that they are not as perfect as we think they are. Supernatural is no exception. Now I’m not trying to put down one of my favorite shows, but I feel as though there is something that needs to be addressed.
I’ve noticed that female representation is lacking in the show. Sure "Supernatural" has had its share of female characters, but there are problems with some of the female characters that have been on the show.
There have been a lot of great female characters like Ellen, Jo, and Charlie, but most of the female characters have only been on the show for the benefit of Sam and Dean. They have either been temporary love interests or end up dead. Sometimes they’ve been both.
Most of the reason that they end up dead is because they are simply plot devices and end up not being useful to the boys anymore.
I fear for the lives of the few female characters that are still alive though, especially since they are not extremely useful to the boys. I shouldn’t have to fear for the lives of my favorite female characters!
I hope that the current female characters still alive will stay alive and not be killed off for the sake of Sam and Dean. I also hope that with future female characters, the writers of "Supernatural" will introduce them and keep them with no plans of killing them off or simply having them on screen for two seconds as the one night stand of one of the boys.
Claire, Alex, Jody, Donna, they all deserve to live and not just for the boys. The ladies of "Supernatural" deserve more than they get. They deserve intricate story lines and happiness. After all, where would Sam and Dean be without the lovely ladies of "Supernatural?"
