fembuckSo...I haven't watched 1x12 yet, but because I like to prepare myself for the horror that is to come I usually check TWoP for comments before viewing the episode so I know whether to lower my expectations or keep them at a middling level of expectation.
So there I was reading the comments, and apparently they killed Mo?
Can anyone confirm this? Cause if so I don't know if I'll bother with the episode or the show anymore. It's just the last straw. Okay, I'll probably watch the episode because I'm a glutton for punishment, but it's like the producers are trying to do everything in their power to make me loath this show.
I mean, Loken is now the sole female on the show. And yeah, she's a hell of a lot of woman, but common. I don't want to watch the boys club and Jane. I mean, the show can't be trying to avoid subtext that badly can they. Anyway, this really might be the last straw. I think it's a good thing that I'm gonna be away and won't be able to watch for a couple weeks.
Anyway, if anyone knows if that's true for sure, lemme know so I can prepare myself ... TO NEVER WATCH THIS SHOW AGAIN!
*sigh*
Why Lokinator? Why? [fierce whisper]I trusted you![/fw]

Date: 2007-07-08 10:22 pm (UTC)Yep, exactly the reason I can't stand Atlantis.
Atlantis is an extreme case, but even pretty good shows that have just one woman in the main cast or that focus on the guys with the women having no real character development, I end up finding a little boring and having a hard time watching. I will often prefer a show that's not as good with chicks, preferably that kick ass, than a "good" show that's all about the boys.
Took sooo much railing and mockery from my friends for my repeated watching of 'Birds Of Prey' around the time they were all getting together religiously every week to watch 'The West Wing'. Which is a great show, but I still haven't seen most of it.
What can I say: Ashley Scott + Dinah Meyer = hot and that's all there is to it.
Alias is the best example of a show that is great, with a great female main character, but it didn't have enough other women for her to interact with. Leading to a puzzling lack of f/f fic until other women characters showed up. It took me a long time to get into the show because of this.
SG-1 is another interesting case of a show with a great female character that didn't work as well as it should have. Partially it was because of the lame-o writing from the same Atlantis crew, but what saved it for me is that I like Daniel and Teal'c (*pretty* and *cuddly*).
