I like that the writers are making a serious effort to add female characters we'd like to the show. And I love that mostly they aren't there as love interests
Agreed. It would be interesting to know if the writing team was actively trying to integrate more female characters or if it's just a matter of what services the story/MotW. I've always felt that there were a decent number of female characters in SPN, even significant female characters, it's just that our impression is that it's a overwhelmingly male dominated show based on the fact that the recurring characters tend to be male and, thus, those are the characters who we become more familiar with and invested in.
Sam: "You know, Dean, the ones without pictures" – ukgh. Dislike.
According to RT's live tweets, JP and JA switched the lines in this scene. Dean was supposed to be the one keen on reading the books. It's nice to know that it wasn't RT's intention to make a light hearted jab at Dean's book smarts (we all know that Dean is plenty smart), but, in fact, he was doing the exact opposite. TBH, when I first saw that scene, I felt that it was more "Dean-like" to be all fannish about GoT rather than Sam.
