Fuck, I hate the 'Ironic' song. I keep trying to blast it out with Born Slippy, but it's not working--I could not sleep last night, I made lists in my head. I wrote meta. I had Travis voiced by Clive Owen telling Cally and Jenna that they were blown and then Soolin and Dayna joined them as they ran in heels for the car and piled in. Breaking Monte

Yes. Please. *sits up and begs*
Because this whole conversation/debate/meta series is making me furious. Now, apparently, women are only interesting when they're not being traditional so that traditional is, by definition, always bad? I just ... I don't even know where to start.
5. I am making a list. I am going to make a goddamn list and talk about how the shows and the fandoms are crap at this, that and the other thing, but HERE ARE THOSE WOMEN YOU CLAIM DON'T EXIST.
Wants it, Preciousssss. Wants it, I do. :-)

And that list may kill me. I want to have thoughts on each show (like, NCIS, love it though I do, is atrocious at saying "sexism is bad" it's excellent at saying, "sexism! exists!" but not on the former part).

*giggle* No disowning, because if we were going that route, you'd have disowned me long ago for not watching a 1/3 of the shows you watch and write about regularly.

Most of all, the movie has a frakking awesome soundtrack!

3. I know. I think my biggest issue is the way shows are portraying it as exciting/enticing (SVU is really bad about that, too)
5. I don't actually even care if they ARE awesome. If they exist? They go on a list. If fucking bit part male characters can get reams of fic about them, so should the bit-part women.

He did such a great job with Leia, and then with Padme he just... forgot or something.
Also, completely yes on the Dee. She lost character ground until eventually she was just annoying if anything, and that made me sad because I really liked her in the beginning.
I think it's really sad that, after all the hard work and effort, women still don't have the right to just exist. We're all individual. Men get that consideration all of the time, and when it comes to us... nothing. Gr.

Dollhouse has one sole redeeming factor, and that is an excellent cast, most of whom were largely unknown to the US TV audience beforehand. If Dichen Lachman and Evver Gjojak go 5 minutes without new shows, there is no justice. Oh, ick, there's another episode left to air. Depressed again.

I have only seen 2 eps of s2, and so can delude myself that way.
