I'd rather have jo be a competent hunter, myself - okay, she's thin, but she can practice and agility and speed have their advantages. I don't know, I think she already is a hunter groupie, isn't she? Maybe I have different connotations with the word groupie than you have.
I'm all about her growing up to be a righteous hunter. In fact, I think she has the potential to out-badass her mom one day and I'm easily as scared of Ellen as Dean is.
Right now, though, because of her youth and inexperience, I can buy Jo as more groupie than rock star. She wants to be a hunter so much, but I don't think she has a clue yet about everything that's involved. That's because she's so young and because Ellen appears to have largely protected her from as much of that world as she could.
Besides, we haven't seen a character in that kind of role in this 'verse. More than anything, that's why I'm all over the idea. It's a novel new patch to explore because no one else has been in the position to have that kind of dynamic with any of the Winchesters so far. That's not to belittle or insult her character despite the unseemly aspects of being a groupie. That just fills out who she is at this point before she's had a little bit of Life Happen to her beyond losing her dad when she was a kid.

Totally true. Honestly, I'd watch a spin off with Ellen, Jo and Ash as the main leads *G* I can't wait for Thursday already!
