I understood the need behind pushing Dean to his limits, but there were other ways to do that, than killing our little cinnamon roll. It seems only Jody & Donna (& emo annoying Claire) have the ability to avoid the female curse on this show. I hated it, the actors hated it, all the fans hated it. This was probably the worst SPN death in the entire series, as far as hatred for TPTB goes.
