I'd like to begin with an apology to Genevieve Cortese.
Dear Ms. Cortese,
My inital assesment of you was harsh and unwarranted. I hope that you do understand that most of the anger that you, Katie, and Lauren had to deal with is nothing personal. Nor is my irritation with Andrew Dabb and Daniel Loflin, but that's another story.
Let me break it down for you. This letter is merley an explaination of what went wrong reguarding Ruby and Bela.
In my opinion, Bela was good for only one episode. I didn't see the need for her to be around as long as she was. Technically all the other episodes after Bad Day at Black Rock she was not an intergal part to the show.
Moving on to Ruby. After seeing Katie on Harper's Island - even though Harper's Island sucks much ass - she's been doing a terrific job acting wise.
But please understand, you took on a role that was already not understood and therefore hated. Then we go from Ruby's a snarky badass to a lovesick Sam follower - what the hell?
So in the beginning, Ms. Cortese you seemed like a square peg in a round hole - where is this going!
But things got better in the last two episodes you were in. Things made more sense. Not from Sam's point of view, but I'll get to that.
Ruby now had a goal and a purpose and now we understood and by extention I think that you understood.
So, just like I come online and complain about you - I'll come online againt to say, good job sorry we dragged you through mud and God knows what else along the way but I'll watch your next acting venture - granted it's something I'm interested in.
Next up - What the hell is up with Sam?

On The Head of a Pin
I love this episode.
I am none to happy about the Uriel is evil reveal. I liked him as the non-emtional, yet loyal angel but that's all blown away. Fine.
I seriously think Anna's up to something, there was something fishy about her wanting Castiel to fall so badly.
I'm so not happy about Dean jumpstarting the Apocolypse. I know we're not supposed to be, but I feel so bad for him. I miss let's go and get them Dean!
Castiel keeps losing fights, win something!
I don't even want to get into Sam drinking Ruby's blood.

Ruby: Season 3 and Season 4
It's the ongoing argument. Why is Ruby on the show? What the hell is up with Ruby? Why is season three Ruby different than season four Ruby?
I've said this before. It's hard in this case if I were to play devil's advocate and speak up for GC (never thought I'd say that) but if I were I'd point out these things.
This is all IF we believe all of this to be true
- Kripke did not tell her that she was going to be a demon (that can trip you up)
- She was given scenes of KC to study to learn about Ruby (I don't know the whole acting process in and out, but I can imagine that it's hard for one actress to be exactly like another actress. Especially an actress who said that she watched Basic Instinct to prepare for her role.)
- The writingSeason 3, Ruby was secretive and not hardcore but she was bad. She fought, she showed up when needed, she was slick, I didn't like the character but she was slick.
Season 4, Ruby is lovesick and constantly chasing after Sam and everything is about Sam. She's not very helpful and she's whiny this season, not at all like the Ruby we used to know.
So, if we were to take GC;s acting out of the situation I'd say that she was given something messed up in the first place. I think that she just makes it [b]worse[/b] by making the comments that she makes. And I don't think her level of acting can handle the above mentioned changes.
It made no sense for Bela to be on Supernatural, one ep, maybe. But Lauren Cohan can act so we were all able to keep our annoyance towards Bela, not Lauren. But we're already frustrated with this character, GC's comments and lack of understanding of the fans and the show makes things worse.
And that is the nicest way I can put things about Ruby and GC.

Supernatural: Season 4
I'm so pissed at SAM!
First Ruby's back, and I knew she would be, I knew they were setting things up for Sam and Ruby in season 3, but the writer's strike happend and it was all jacked up for a bit. So, now Ruby's back running around Sam's hotel room practically naked. okay. And I say okay in the skeptical tone like ooookay.
Then, BAM! Nikki (Meg) comes back as not Demon!Meg but regular human Meg. And she's still awesome, even as she's beating up Dean. And she calls Sam a monster and says "What you're doing with that demon." Alright fine! That could mean anything! So you mean him practicing his powers with Ruby right? Right?
NO! Says the demon in the start of Metamorphosis. "slutting around" are you kidding me SAM? For all intents and purposes that his not her body! Ruby is using some other girls body and forcing it to do things with Sam she doesn't want to do. That's rape. I'm not kidding. That's demon rape.
Unless things aren't as they seem but what else could "slutting around" mean? "The things you two do in the dark?" I'm having a heart problems over this. Using demon powers is one thing. Havind sex with a demon in another person's body is a WAY WAY other thing.
I'm flipping out. Whatever. Whatever, Eric, and Kim, and Sera and Kathryn whatever you guys suck and I can't wait until next Thursday!
I mean, Dean died so Sam could shack up with a demon. Ahhhh! Oh god. Give me a break.
