Sarah

[katikat]

I just re-watched the wonderful Supernatural ep Provenance and it made me realize how much I love Sarah. I mean, I really truly adore her!

... her "O~Kay" when Sam started to act crazy, again;
... her "you seem uncomfortably comfortable" in the graveyard;
... her "mazel tov" when Sam told her that they didn't get paid.

She rocks! Please, can we have her back? I mean, she would fit the show much more than Bela. She deals with antiquities, with cursed objects! Sarah would be so much better - come on, Sarah was really classy, she didn't just pretend to have style - and definitely more fans (I'm NOT saying all - yes, another disclaimer) liked her! That would so rock!

Exactly! I love sassy females but I hate bitches. That's why I can't accept Bela. I just can't. Sarah on the other hand showed us that a woman can be strong without degrading the men around her. Why do they have to write the episodic females so well and the regular/recurring once are so dumb?

Why do they have to write the episodic females so well and the regular/recurring once are so dumb?

I can only speculate that with the recurrings they try to fix something that has never been broken and it ends up being total oversell. An episodic female is written smart and tough without being beat over the head with it yet with a recurring/regular it becomes this thing of "she will be on often, therefore she needs to be REALLY smart and tough and whatnot so lets make sure the audience REALLY gets it". Urgh.

Hence we end up with the likes of Bela the oh-so-stylish-wodernful Super-Lara-Croft. Forgetting that Lara Croft was the heroine of her own movies. Writing a supporting character is different from writing a lead. *headdesk*

I can hardly "wait" for Bela in the next episode. Also she is even effing mentioned in the "Jus in Bello" press release (though I think/hope not actually in the episode). God, even the ads totally oversell that useless hag.
