She was fun and sexy and a demon *shrug* - that's a big turn on for some. I liked her well enough, but not as much as Meg. Meg's always going to be my top demon.

I think the crowd I run with stopped complaining about women characters (as in - what is this woman) when Ruby came back. I know Jody Mills was embraced whole-hot pretty much from go, as was Donna, and Jo, too, once, as you say, they stopped trying to appeal to the 18-30 year old male audience (if there even is one) and just let her be a hunter.

*Nobody* on that show seems to know how to write romance; they do great until they get there, and then it all falls apart into CW nonsense.

And lets not forget Kevin Tran's mom! She was kick-ass and fun and heartbreaking.

Yeah, fingers crossed for me, too, they don't fuck it up. Keep away from the boring-ass 'romance' arcs and just give us smart, fun women kicking ass, please!

Meg was a great character and I liked her relationship with Castiel a lot. They could understand each other because they were both soldiers in a war that had long past them by. I like Ruby too, or rather the concept of her more than the execution. Gen did her better, but maybe I think that because I'm really not a big fan of Katie Cassidy. Katie only ever has chemistry with a few actors and Jared was not one of them. Anyway, Gen could pull off the love for Sam and some ambiguity but not all of the shades that would have kept us guessing what side she was on. Plus there was no consistency between performances so they were basically two different characters.

I think the romances on this show have been well written. None of them were meant to be great, forever love. They're either about loneliness or tragedy. For example, Lisa and Dean's relationship made sense, both its development and its conclusion. Erasing their memories was beyond dumb, but the stuff before then all made sense. I understood why they wanted to be together and what drove them apart. Jody and Bobby's very cute and brief relationship really could have been something but he died. I like Cas and Meg's relationship, like I said but it's not an epic romance for the ages. The greatest romantic this show has might not even be a love story and might an accident and that's between Dean and Cas. Great, forever love for Sam and Dean will only happen when the show finally ends and obviously if they're alive at the end.

As for romance for the Wayward girls, it's like anything in writing where it can be badly handled or it can be great. If there's one wish I have for Wayward Daughters, one thing I actively want from this show that will make it different than Supernatural it's that they won't habitually kill of recurring characters. So if one of the girls has a boyfriend (or girlfriend, I'm calling Patience being queer now) he won't be killed off when one of the girls need to be sad about something to move the story forward. We've seen hunter marriages in Supernatural, one of the girls having a long time partner wouldn't be unprecedented or unrealistic.
