December 9th - MeMe

9th Dec: dizzojay - Which is your favourite character in Supernatural and your least? Why?



So, other than the devilishly suave guy in the gif and his man-mountain of a brother...

I love John, and Jo...and Bobby...and Benny...and Meg...and Alastair...and Kevin...and Charlie...and Death...and everyone, but I think right now I'm really loving...




Jodie ♥

I think I like her because she's one of those characters that is just really well developed and written. Yes, she's been sucked into all the Winchester craziness but she still knows who she is and just gets on with it. She's tough as nails but still can be so sweet and vulnerable. I think she reminds me of the boys.
Also, I like that she's written as a person. I feel like you could easily switch her character out as a man and you wouldn't have to change anything about it, and that to me is very appealing. I would happily watch a spin off with her in it. And Kim's pretty hot cool too, so there's that : )

As for least favorite...well, I think it's no secret that you can always tell my anon prompts but they usually have the caveat of "No Becky, please."

As for why...I think it started out as just feeling like the writers took the joke too far, and instead of using her character to laugh with us, they started laughing at us. It was hurtful and humiliating. Then came the whole "fangirl-rapist" thing and that was just...no. I think they thought Time for a Wedding would be funny but without thinking for a moment how it would look if the gender roles were reversed. Anyway. I think they took what could have been a fun, whimsical character and turned her into something sleezy and psychotically stupid. So languishing at the bottom of the pile, I'm afraid. I like her less than Amelia, and that's really saying something! : )

yes! you are spot on with my feelings about Becky! she could have been a great character, instead they turned her into something that was... not...

Favorite character would be Sam. I think he is the epitome of the 'tragic hero'. Dean as well, but I have to go with Sam.
Least favorite for the last few seasons is Castiel. Yeah, start throwing rotten tomatoes. I feel his character has outlived his usefulness and purpose for the show.
I wish Bobby would come back. He brought a fantastic character to life. Minor character I would like to see return is Rufus. I think he and Bobby worked off each other perfectly.
Just my opinion.

Love Jodie (love Sam/Jodie too)!♥
Met Kim at Auckland Armageddon last October, she's FABULOUS! :D

I love Jody, too. ♥

Totally agree about Becky, for all the reasons you mention. And Time for a Wedding is the worst ep ever.

Great choices; in the most part I completely agree. I definitely agree that Jody is a great character - she's tough and sassy, and at the same time she's sensitive and damaged.

Agree with you on Becky too. She'd definitely have to be in my bottom five - just too much of a grotesque fangirl caricature - way over the top!

Thanks for answering!

I am right there with you on all of this hun, Becky could have been SO much *more* I also agree, Jodie is one of those characters that would work on every level, every gender, but I am immensely happy they picked *her* :) xx
