Damn it...

Don't make me do this! (because the anal in me has a needs to...)

Does anyone know if there are stats on how many female characters have been killed compared to males in the Show...? (as in the Ellen and Ash variety... but also the victim of the week variety..?)

You know if there isn't it's gonna have to be done. I can't make statements like "Show is an equal opportunity killer of male and female characters" without statistical back up.

What? I have a life. I do. It's just my brain doesn't..

Oh it has? I saw mercuryblue's impressive stats. I figure putting something together would be majorly difficult and yeah... to what end? Though for me it was more about purely this may men have been killed... this many women. Mostly so when I see someone say... "they keep killing women", there would be a "well, they keep killing men too" come back. I am not disregarding treatment of certain characters and how they are killed etc. Merely numbers..

The problem really is about the resurrections would also make difficult.

though I was musing on another thread that there seem to be more women not killed as in women who have had an impact on the boys lives.. then men. Misouri, Sarah, Cassie, Rebecca, Tamara. I'm sure there are men, I just can't think of them currently.

Anywho... just my brain going off really. I knew the Show's treatment of characters was a fairly hot topic.

This far in to the show's run, for me the thing is wanting at least one woman, and one CoC, to have been steadily recurring and staying around season after season with some kind of long continuity. But it hasn't happened and by now, it can't happen.

(Do we count Mary Winchester? But she's already dead in the show's continuity. So IDK.)

Mary is a tricky one. She has been around since the very beginning, but is she actually re occurring? I don't know. Meg is definitely in there though. I have high hopes for her. ( though I had high hopes for Gwen also). I was really unhappy that they killed Rufus. It would have been great to see him as a recurring character.

I never really understand why they actually have to kill them. They could just not appear for a while and then turn up later. Pamela would have been good like that. I think it is very much about isolating the boys.
