Lilith, show.

I facepalm.

Like, srsly? A feminist icon that you decide to turn into a child? I dunno. Maybe they want to turn Gloria Steinem into a vampire for good measure.

(Sorry, I'm kinda bitter.)

Actually, yeah, I am with you there. I was disappointed by that what with Lilith being all badass in my head and stuff. Sigh.

See below. I hold out hope. *crosses stuff*

Cause, like, it COULD make sense with the mythology. But that little girl has to be possessed [eta] rather than the MANIFESTATION or something of this demonic female who is, sort of by definition of her story, sexually mature.

Yeah. That's part of the reason I don't know where to go with it. Because on one hand, I KNOW the writers have little to no clue what Lilith MEANS and HOW MUCH she means that to Feminist thought. And so I get what they're trying to do there with the Biggest Baddest Demon Lore and all that shit and I LOVE the idea of Lilith as this huge badass with all these complex motivations. But on the other hand, COME ON catch a clue for fuck's sake and understand that this kind of shit MATTERS and I ALSO know they may or may not Go There ( ... )

*facepalm* Story of my LIFE. Unless it was Joss.

I have perhaps been watching SGA too much - the IDEAL of "riterz! ur doin it wrong". And desperately fanwanking a whole shit-ton of things so that I can retain my love for Mah Show. So I could just be on a roll.

*throws hands up* I'll try to trust at least in Sera Gamble that they'll...make it okay. Maybe. God.

I'd love your version of Lilith. THAT would be mighty awesome.

I don't buy into fluffy bunny Lilith anymore than I buy into fluffy Diana or fluffy Morrigan (ha, just let T rant about that one) or even fluffy Bast. Female deities all have their 'I gnaw on your bones and rip your heart from your chest' side. I just don't know about the show pitting male hunter society against female demon army. Because the show doesn't have a grip on powerful GOOD females, I doubt they can deal with powerful BAD females without making me want to smack them all.

*cries* Yes. I don't want to have to FIX all this shit with fic. That would HURT me.

If I'm zombie!girl tomorrow... WHY AM I NOT ASLEEP?

If they do it right, they'll carry it over into next season and we'll have a whole year of awesome stories. Maybe?

YES. EXACTLY. *breathes a little panicky* God I hope.
