on gender fail, in general. And tv renewals.

So, apparently, Dollhouse has been renewed. I...shouldn't be depressed by this news because I can always just, you know, not watch. But...sigh. It's hard to put in words, but this, along with the new wave of Gender Fail on "Supernatural" is depressing me. Who wants to bet "Supernatural" is totally getting renewed, too

Exactly what you said about Sarah Connor Chronicles is how I feel about it. The part about how it's cool that it's told from Sarah's perspective, and the part that it's sorta boring.

I think that might be because, while told from her pov, it is ALL ABOUT JOHN AND HOW SPECIAL HE IS and John is sort of like one of those kids from Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and gets boring. Fast.

You're possibly very right here. And while I want to be all, "Well, this is still a story about a MAN, just told from her POV," that's still new? I mean, how often do we have stories about women, but they're totally stuck in the male gaze and important only in how they affect that male POV character? John is sort of like that, here. So I find it interesting in that *he* is a part of HER story. Which is fun on a metafictional level, at the very least. But does not make him any less boring, sadly.

Are you caught up on it and are you shipping Cameron/John yet? Shipping makes it less boring for me. :)

I don't have plans to go back and watch the episodes that I missed, although I did see the season finale, and wow! Cameron/John has an appeal in a wronnnng way.

It does! And I'm shipping SO hard. Predictably.
