Bela--she could have been so cool but they never really developed her until her final ep, really. She shot Sammy, I could never forgive her for that. :( If they'd given her a tiny bit of a soul, I might have liked her more earlier. Same thing with Ruby. The new actress...eh! She's just not my flavor. Even so, I'm always glad when someone says they like the character, so I don't have to feel guilty for not liking them.
I think Bela's character development may have been hosed by the strike. Last season's endings had a whole lot of "WTF, where'd that come from," because most shows ran about 5 episodes short. So on Bones, Zach suddenly has his left field development (if you care what it was, you probably already know) that has everyone scratching their heads and wondering where they can get some of what the writers were smoking. On Supernatural, they suddenly walk into Lilith's endgame, and Bela gets written out on a phone call and a 10 second flashback. What it needs is semi-animated "plot hole" shorts, like the DVD of "Shaun of the Dead." :)
Oh gosh--you're right, I forgot about the strike! Yeah, that makes sense, because I got the feeling that even if the fans for the most part didn't care for Bela, the writers really liked her.
And child, don't even get me started on Zach--strike or not that whole idea *SUCKED*. What it needs is semi-animated "plot hole" shorts,
Plot-hole shorts, eh? Does that mean explainations of WTFery?
Basically. In "Shaun of the Dead" there were a couple of plot holes: a miraculous off-screen escape, a character who just disappears into the ether after wading into a crowd of zombies to beat them to death with her boyfriend's leg, and another character who goes from point A to point B without any explanation. So, in the DVD extras, there are three semi-animated shorts explaining what happened.
