I'd like to think I hate the female characters I hate for pretty legit reasons, and most of those reasons are creative decisions TPTB have made and so it's not really the character I hate so much as what they've done to her. I don't hate Sam Carter, for example, but I truly, absolutely, 100% despise the way TPTB took her potential and flushed it down the toilet to make a much weaker character.
I'll admit I hate even the idea of the proposed (still wishing this was a rumor!) two female co-leads Supernatural is apparently getting. Why? Because The CW shows don't have a great track record with representing females, and the show itself already has a distinct formula that will inevitably be thrown off kilter by adding these women (no show can be a drama without UST between a man and a woman...). Maybe they'll be great, who knows? But I live in fear, for last year's attempts to integrate new characters (two of them female) fell very, very, very, VERY flat with me.
