I'm... gonna have to partially disagree! Sure, there are a lot of one-off characters that fit that description, but the recurring female characters that sleep with Sam and Dean are, what, Lisa, Anna, and Ruby? And out of those, Lisa's the only one I'd call something of a cardboard cut-out.

It's not that I think Supernatural is necessarily bad at making good female characters, it just tends to treat them like shit in the narrative and barely gives them a chance to develop before killing them. It's very upsetting.

But even more than that I think SPN is shit at romance. I'm pretty sure a lot of why Dean/Cas is compelling to me is because it's entirely accidental.

I'm pretty sure a lot of why Dean/Cas is compelling to me is because it's entirely accidental.

This could very well be true. Viewers in general don't like to be force fed something. They like to investigate, take hints, and reach their own conclusions. Maybe we can extend it to why so many fans flock to non-canon pairings in general.

That is of course not to say that well written, well established canon relationships don't attract fans, but as you correctly pointed out, that's not SPN.

I wouldn't say it's entirely accidental, the show likes to throw in plenty of quips and jokes about gay implications, but it's obvious they will never seriously develop those - at least as far as the lead characters are concerned.

Those little quips are lapped up just as much as the truly accidental implications and still allows fans to draw their own conclusions.
