OH MY GOD I'M SO PISSED RIGHT NOW I AM FUMING AND WANTING TO KILL THINGS

The gist of it is that they're cutting JJ and reducing Prentiss.
THIS SHIT IS NOT ON
OH MY GOD ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? In the barren landscape of television, CM has always shone with its women. Its strong, badass, intelligent, flawed, beautiful, nuanced women. AND NOW YOU'RE CUTTING TWO OF THEM.
WHAT IS THIS FUCKING BULLSHIT
AND FOR BUDGET REASON??? REALLY? BUDGET REASON? TWO WOMEN. OH JEEZ.
I am FURIOUS. Beyond words. Never mind that I think the show has dipped significantly in the latter half of season 5. It's like they blew all their load on The Reaper and never really recovered from that. I don't believe for one single second that the development of the spin-off didn't take away from the main show, because it's ALWAYS happened. EVERY TIME. But this? THIS?
The moment that I never thought would happen with this show has happened. I feel betrayed. Honestly, I don't know if I will watch the next season, and I'm not going to support the show anymore. I will not be buying the S5 set despite having purchased every season to date. There is a spiteful part of me that wishes the ratings plummet and that'll show them. I don't want the show to be canceled, but I want that to happen. I want them to see that cutting women -- INTEGRAL FEMALE CHARACTERS -- from your show is an idiot move, but even if ratings do drop, I'm sure they'll attribute it to something else altogether, because that's how it works.
This, btw, is making me EVEN MORE angry about Legend of the Seeker's cancellation.
Thanks for reminding me that the world still hates women, especially empowered women.
