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. 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.
