my life is boring

[lyssie]

1. Watched part of an episode of Castle. Enough to discover Kate Beckett is Yet Another Cookie Cutter 'strong' woman with a stick up her ass who has no power, and is there to be an obstacle to the Awesome Male Lead who swans all over the place being an asshole. Ugh.

2. Have not watched either NCIS. Please try not to spoil me.

3. I was so bored at work today, I seriously contemplated the steps it would take to orchestrate an inter-fandom wank war. The difficulty would be getting innocent people involved who might be hurt, since it was really all in fun.

4. Finally managed to edit something for posting.

eta: 5. WHY IS THERE NOT A FIONA GLENANNE ACTION FIGURE? Or a Ziva. There should be a Ziva.

1. I don't know about that to Beckett feels real which is always my main litmus test for a character. Having worked in an oppressively male workplace the way a majority of police forces still are I can say while Beckett is not perhaps the ultimate feminist role model she is what tends to survive those environments. As a smaller probably somewhat sheltered young woman she probably did sacrifice a lot of power and femininity to prove herself. I think its realstic for someone like her to be somewhat befuddled by Castle not every woman is HBIC I think its good that TV reflects that. Personally the Sassy Black coroner bugs me more but that's a whole different set of un fortunate implications.(and some of thats the actress)

Plus Castle gets called on his asshat moments a lot its subtle some of the time but in a lot of ways thats the point of the show that Castle is trying to grow up.

2 I liked NCIS and I think NCIS LA has potential.

3. Ah what's really fun about that is how easy it would be with some people a sock puppet id and the right fuel to the fire and then sit back with a bag of marshmallows. Although the potential collateral damage is always what stops me since I've been burned by that shit far to often previously.

4. Yeah I am so proud of finally busting my writers block lately I am even posting on peoples stuff again.

5. Yes we need NCIS action figures Ziva for sure and Gibbs with a cup of coffee a stack of DVDs for Tony and McGee and his laptop.

1. Sigh. I really don't think we need even more "women can't succeed in a maaaaaaaaan's world" bullcrap. Also, if she isn't an hbic, please go tell the people who have consistently voted for her in the hbic poll at frolicndetour's lj, as they haven't seem to've gotten the memo.

5. Abby would come with Caf-Pow and a mini Major Mass-Spec. =D

1. That's not really what the show is saying because Kate is successful. I think its simply a more realistic portrayal of someone who is successful in a field like that. It's something that sometimes bugs on shows (like In Plain Sight) that show women who in reality probably would have been bounced out of law enforcement the first week. As someone who has had to work in a heavily male dominated environment (a hydro plant) I find it more offensive when shows say that women only survive in those situations if they are amazing at their jobs and are all things to all people. I think it great that Kate is actually a fairly normal woman who has succeeded at a tough job even if she has had to compromise along the way.

6. That's exactly what Abby would carry and Ducky would just come with Jimmy.
