yeah, they closed the door on Jo in Born Under a Bad Sign, and really, How the hell could Dean hunt if Jo were with them? He spends enough time trying to keep Sam safe, he'd never have time to kill anything if he were traying to keep Jo safe too.
i like to think we'll see ellen again. Ash pissed me off because he was unneccesary, he could find stuff online? um... so could Sam, that's sam's thing, he's a better tracker than Dean. Dean's a better shot, maybe even a better hunter in that he kills things with less Emo type thought but sam's a better tracker and researcher. it's why they make a hell of a team.
I don't like the new Ruby that much but i don't hate her. I just wanted them to be working a job somewhere and run into hendrickson, because c'mon, he's a tracker and a hunter, and he admitted that doing it for the FBI was a big waste of time.
If i were writing a different story than the v. v. canonical onein my head it would be dean running into all the hunters he's created over the years by letting them know what's out there. I mean c'mon. Or maybe having sam meet them, because he does that honesty thing and once you know that shit, well, how do you sleep at night?
i know most people wouldn't become hunters but michael from something wicked, (you know, the kid/big brother from the motel that they used as bait) he'll end up a hunter, seriously. and i could name others but i won't bore you.
Sarah from the one you hate, (provenance) sorry, not hate, can't watch, she would at least scan shit for EMF after that, and Cassie... c'mon, she's already twisted, she loved Dean, and admitted she's a scary one, she's a reporter, she'd be a great tracker.
