It need more well-rounded characters period, irregardless of gender. Gender
I think the show needs more well-rounded characters, regardless of gender, too. I just also think the way to do that is to actually spend some time on them and develop them. And I don't think the way to go about doing that is by starting off with the cynical view that the female characters are either love interests and 'in the way' or they're fun, interesting characters. People can be both, you know?
Interesting that you picked a bunch of love interests. Or was that on purpose?
Uh, well I also picked Castiel, so? I first mentioned those three because I remember really liking/being interested in their interactions with Sam and/or Dean. Lisa might not have had too much to do with Sam, but she had an entire arc with Dean. And through Jo we got to see a softer, more vulnerable side of Dean just in season 7. A side that I at the time thought might get explored, so he could start to heal. But then, I got to take that insight into him from that episode, and use it to view the interactions between Sam and Dean.
