Look out, there might be opinions here.
Nov. 8th, 2009 10:16 pm1. Here's why I'm pissed and bitter about Eastwick.
Fandom: we'd pay more attention to female characters if they were well-written!
Eastwick: has three excellently-written female leads and three excellently-written female secondary characters + one more who is near-secondary status and ALSO female. (and Paul Gross splendidly chewing the scenery)
Fandom: I'm not interested in that sort of thing.
Eastwick: gets canceled in favor of a show with men having all the plotlines and one token cardboard cut-out female character.
Fandom: OMG SO AWESOME TEH PRETTY GAY.
Me: ...and this is why we can't have nice things.
(feel free to insert TSCC in there)
eta: Sorry, folks, if I'd been paying attention to my wording last night, I would have added this addendum: it hasn't been canceled, but it has been pulled from Hulu and ABC's site (the full episodes are gone, so you can't actually watch it). Which says to me that ABC is planning to quietly dump it.
2. Meanwhile, apparently the Bridge Boyz still don't take criticism well. You go, Ms. Ryan, even if I don't always agree with you.
3. Paul Gross gave a recent interview, and mentioned that he didn't get vampires. Truth to tell, I've never understood why people are so slavishly devoted to how AWESOME AND OMG SO COOL they are, myself.
4. I have put my c key back on, though it still pops off annoyingly. I suppose I'll live with it (I have for four months).
5. It was very hazy today. But not humid. Very odd. Anyone know if there's a zombie apocalypse coming?
