random BSG crankiness re: quad of doom.
er, spoilers for season three?
This keeps bugging me, and I have, like, ten notes in my notebook to randomly bitch about this. Since I'm tired and cranky, now is a good time as any.
Four people are involved in the qod, two males, two females.
In the text, and in fanon, the males resolve their differences and are buddies. They respect each other, like each other, even. And they're sort of commiserating friends. eta: actually, I take part of this back. The text never says either way whether they hate each other. Lee does try to be nice to Sam, though. And Sam doesn't kill him.
Yet the women hate each other.
In canon, there's no evidence of this. There's barely any evidence either way, but there is never evidence that the two can't work together and don't respect each other.
Fanon? Kara hates Dee. Dee hates Kara. Never shall they even consider each other a friend.
Know why?
'Cause they're rivals for a male.
How fucking pathetic is that?
The worst thing? Most of this sentiment comes from women. Yeah, thanks, girls, for buying into that sexist bullshit. I expect it from the guys, but from you liberated, open source boob project-hating women? Not so much.

And here's where I kick the canon, because if the canon can have the boys being all friendly, they can do it for the girls, too, dammit. *kicks the writers*
(ok, so this is mostly because I would like the women on the show to, y'know, actually share scenes with each other, but--)
no subject
At least Kara and Rosin DO talk about things besides men, heh.
no subject
They do! It was awesome! Sigh. We just don't, y'know, get more for a while... if at all. *mutter* RON, the tvs do not implode if more than two women share a conversation. SWEAR ON MY MOTHER'S GRAVE.
Ok. On my GRANDMOTHER'S.
