And I have no interest in watching another female lead get eclipsed by her male co-stars.. again.
So true. I just don't understand why it's so difficult for people to write female characters. *hugs Battlestar Galactica*
On a serious note, I do wonder what exactly Loken's role as Exec. Producer is? Like, I haven't read too many interviews but what exactly in her background, aside from acting, makes her qualified to EP, ya know.
That's just the thing. Nothing as far as I can tell. Well, that's not true she was also an executive producer on an independent movie she made called "Lime Salted Love", but that hasn't seen the light of day yet so I can't use it as evidence or ability or inability to guide a production.
Basically, if anything I think this show might be what she's training herself with. I think she basically saw an opportunity (they wanted her because she was a name actress known to sci-fi fans, which gave her some room to negotiate) and grasped it, which might be good for her later on, but sucks for the show.
I think maybe if she weren't filling the Exec. Prod. role then they might have hired someone with experience who could have maybe avoided some of these pitfalls, but with Loken you've got someone (hopefully) learning pitfalls to avoid which means me watching a lot of crap for 12 episodes.
