Some of my favorite brother/sister teams have been on Roswell, American Dreams, and Everwood. Nia mentioned Alias s4 as a good sister/sister show, and I agree. There was also that show Sisters way back. You can't forget 90210 (Brandon and Brenda!) or Melrose Place (Jane and Sydney!) either.
But the vast majority of women on the show exist to be rescued or to die as victims.
I see this complaint all the time, and honestly, all the men -- including the two leads -- exist to be victims too. No one is ever safe from peril on that show.
I think they actually try to have a woman who is more than eye candy in each episode to balance things out, and I've liked each one except Cassie (and only b/c the actress was awful). Meanwhile, I can't remember the names or faces of any of the one-ep guys from s1.
That said, it would have been cool if Dean and Sam had a sister, maybe one who shunned the family business at first, then ended up joining them. A cousin could still work. Someone platonic, b/c who's going to hunt with them across the country?
