I think a lot of the Jo bashing came from the early sides. (And the fact the fangirls really don't want to share either of their boys with anyone, despite their lip service to having some female characters added to the mix.) Having read the sides myself, I'll say they have toned down some of the "mary sue" aspect. I think that's probably a product of being able to work with an actual actress and see how the character gels on screen.
I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with Jo this week. I have a feeling it will be a make or break episode for my opinion of her.
