Re: Good Fridging Deaths

[(Anonymous)]

Jo and Ellen's death in Supernatural.

Not saying that I wouldn't love to still have them around (and if they'd known that they were still going to be on the air in another six years they might have made a different choice) but if they decided to write a character out, they could have done a lot worse.

First: Jo and Ellen are there because they chose to put themselves in harm's way. They aren't helpless victims who were killed because they happened to be Dean-adjacent.

Second: they went out fighting, and took a lot of hellhounds with them. True, the battle was ultimately a lost cause, but they went out like heroes.

Third: while she gets a moment with Dean, Jo's big emotional moment is actually with Ellen. Her story arc is completed, not by the resolution of her romantic relationship, but of the familial relationship with her mother.

Even though from a story perspective, Jo's death is about driving the plot, in the moment, her death is about her, not about Dean.
