Seriously. I'm still having issues with this mother who wants, apparently, to protect her daughter from "the life," and yet has never simply removed herself and her precious daughter from the life. Sorry, sister, but you kind of lose your right to whinge about it when the most you do to protect your kid is make her your indentured servant.
Absolutely. She placed the girl right in the exact place she'd need to be to most romanticize "the life" for her. After all, what *else* is this reasonably attractive girl, who is fascinated with hunting, going to hear about from all the hunters who come through and who are trying to make time with her--romanticized talk about "the life," which of course she would eat up. Ellen has allowed the girl to con and hustle her bar patrons, play poker with them, basically hang out with them as if she's "one of the guys"--she's gotten exactly the daughter she's raised.
You're right, under the right circumstances, a few changes would have been fine for the show, but, as it was, Supernatural worked perfectly fine as it was. It was as if they were trying to re-think the entire series. Now, with John gone, I resent like hell that they're trying to dump *more* issues on John, and on Dean and Sam, by making John supposedly responsible for Jo's father's death--I just hope that crap at the end of the last episode was their way of writing out the Roadhouse, Jo and Ellen, in one swoop, although I doubt we'll be that lucky.
