Until season 8, my strong opinion was that they simply don't know how to write female characters, and that it was just bad for everyone and needed not to happen. But I do love a lot of the women on the show since - Meg (she is probably my favorite, but only as written by Robby), Linda, Charlie, some of the others. But seriously, until they give me a woman as fleshed out as Dean or Sam, I'm not gonna be satisfied. And since they don't even write Dean and Sam as fleshed out as Dean and Sam anymore... well, that is not going to happen - maybe unless there is a different show runner, IMO.
Then again, I also said Dean was never gonna have a heart to heart with a women he didn't intend to sleep with or at all, and then he did.
I agree they were trying, with all the women on early seasons, I believe. And I also prefer a character who has character to a stereotype, though being kickass or being "feminine" can both be written either way, IMO.
Anyhow, I do agree that in the last episode Jody was the most fleshed out and real probably on the show ever, that was cool.
