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 ( Read more... )

I used to love Supernatural, but it just doesn't love me back and in fact has been hurting me for a long time. I'm quitting ( ... )

Firstly, just the fact that you know of the existence of "The Inside" and "Wonderfalls" alone is sort of filling me with love. ;)

Awwww, I was so happy to see someone talking about The Inside - almost as much as I was to see critical analysis of Dollhouse on the massive gender fail.

I go back and forth about Joss's intentions and lack of self-awareness. How could he possibly not see it? I don't understand.

when someone who is a self-proclaimed feminist fails at gender issues *this* much, what can we expect from the rest of them?If by "them" you mean men then yeah - the answer is, we can't. We need to look to women to step up to the challenge. (Which is why Eliza Dushku's betrayal in Dollhouse hurts almost worse than Joss's. I wasn't expecting much from Joss after Dr. Horrible ( ... )

Many replies to my Dollhouse posts pained me beyond words. Not to mention the few times I liked into the actual fandom. (Like, Topher seems to be the most popular character? HOW?? I mean, how can people like a guy who gets off on the idea of programming people to do whatever another person wants?)
