This is my feeling. It's like, 'well, they've got a lesbian character on there, that's a step forward. Now, I'll just cross my fingers and hope they actually do a good job with her'.
Kings? Honestly: meh.
Aw, I love the show. It's not perfect, David/Michelle bores the hell out of me, but I love most everything else about it, from the way it's shot, to the way it's written, to the way it's acted (Ian McShane is phenomenal, as is Susanna Thompson. But even actors in smaller roles like Thomasina are great). I really doesn't surprise me that it didn't make good numbers on a cable station though. If it had been on Showtime or HBO I think the numbers would have been fine.
Warehouse 13. Safe and slightly anesthetic programming. It doesn't seem to have very high aspirations when it comes to actual science fiction
Yeah, I'd agree with this. I'm okay with that though. From this show I just expect some mindless entertainment and a few chuckles and so far it's delivered. It's definitely no Battlestar Galactica, or even Dollhouse, but I don't need it to be. Like "Eureka" I'll probably give up on it after a couple of seasons, but that's still a couple seasons of entertainment.
Also in In Plain Sight ep 2.13 "Let's get it Ahn" Sherilyn Fenn and Kelly Hu will play lesbians, according to imdb.com. Interesting.
I need to catch up on In Plain Sight. The last one I saw was episode 10!
