Oh, and I forgot the bit where she reveals she'd been a witch (witches in SPN mythology are people--almost exclusively women--who make deals with demons). Again, no visual linkages.
Maybe I should make this its own post, after all.
And even when Zoe is the only person in the frame, she tends to be much farther from the camera than, say, River -- far, far fewer closeups, less-close closeups when there were closeups, and that sounds less major than it is when I phrase it like that, but it is!
Yes! There's one place that still makes me wince because I needed a close-up and it didn't exist. And I'm sure that happens with major characters, but seriously -- it was so much easier to find alternative close-ups for Sam.
I am so frustrated we never got a Zoe episode. I've heard people call "War Stories" her episode, and it boggles me. It's not a Zoe episode -- it's a Wash episode. It's a Wash episode in which he and Mal do male primate posturing and then bonding, even though Zoe refuses to act like an object of dispute. The comic "Better Days" should have been a Zoe comic, but it fails at character development, not to mention coherency.

Not enough Zoe, damn it.
