That's why I love Jody. She's smart and resourceful, tough but compassionate. Ellen, too and Jo were great. Real heroes. I really wanted to love Charlie. I liked her a lot in that first ep, but she's almost to much. She really pissed me off in ,PacMan Fever when she thanked Dean for saving the world and then said to Sam, "Sorry you have zero luck with the ladies." It came across as callous and I hate the "dick of doom" jokes. Dean's smirky comment about Sam not lying during the abstinence group was kind of dicky too, but then Dean can be dicky. It bothers me though that Dean once worried about Sam's grief over Jess and encouraged him to connect with women again. With the Amelia situation last season and then in Rock and a Hard Place he didn't seem to care about Sam's feelings at all. Maybe that is just the fallout of Ruby and Amy. Dean has reason, but Charlie doesn't. She doesn't know Sam that well. I'm not sure that I liked them having her read the Carver Edlund books. Again in ,PacMan Fever, she whined about not getting to watch the bromance when the boys were fighting. We don't need another Becky. So, yeah, I want to like Charlie because she's a nerd girl like me, but sometimes Thompson makes her a little too self-involved for my taste. I also totally expected her to be Sam's buddy, but then they made her more another one of Dean's best buds.

I liked Suzy a lot. I don't get the kids who are blasting Dean for hooking up with her. He was being an awkward fanboy. It was sort of cute and sort of uncomfortable almost. She may have wanted to leave sex work behind when she started a new life, but she went to the opposite extreme and though better of it with Dean. She may have had issues to work out, but she was an adult and made her own choice. He didn't push her into it.
