What the hell, Supernatural?
Warning: *Spoiler alert and authorly rant ahead. Charlie cannot be dead. Not. Dead. She was supposed to have her own spinoff. She could have teamed up with Sheriff Jody Mills and her formerly vampiric adopted daughter and Castiel’s daughter to create a kick-ass all-girl hunting quartet.
