No I know we don't know anything about her. I'm not saying anything about her, just that fact that it seems to me as though writers of a lot of shows want to have strong female characters and don't know how to go about introducing them. That's why Jo didn't work out last year. So they look at the other strong female characters (and in sci-fi TV there aren't many) and think of Buffy.
Ellen and Ava were fantastic female characters and Jo, in Born Under a Bad Sign was amazing. None of them felt to me as though they couldn't be cool kickass women. They're all strong and smart and sexy and none of them remind me of Buffy.
But Ruby's introduction to me smacked an awful lot of them thinking of Buffy (not trying to make her Buffy, but thinking of her) when they devised that scene in the house. Here's the pretty blonde with the flowing hair who is so fast and skilled she can take out three demons without blinking an eye.
In her next episode I'm sure they'll explain more and again, I'm reserving judgement until I've seen her for more than five minutes. Everyone attacked Jo last year and she ended up being pretty awesome, so I want to wait and make my mind up over time.
