Dear SciFi, putting the half-naked Kara writhing with Zak promo right after an old-skool Galactica scene is very unfair. Especially when OSG bores me, and then I'm suddenly seeing nekkid Kara.

...'scuse me now, must go do the dishes. With lots of cold water.

I haven't asked this in at least a week: please can I have a Kara Thrace of my own? kthnx

Oh, I'm all about the maginalization of women. I believe I've ranted quite extensively about it.

*distracted by Kara*

I still haven't seen the old BSG esp as it airs at the most inconvenient time. *sighs*

You're not missing much

Doctor Who is better

Er... it's kind of amusing?

[rosewildeirish.livejournal.com]

Pshaw, that's just cos you're young. If you were 10 when the flippin' thing came out (as I was), you'd have rose colored glasses too.

Wow, talk about psychological programming. We don't even get promos for next weeks episode before the end credits anymore. *scowl*

Sorry. Kara is mine.

Could you please keep him too?

[livilla.livejournal.com]

*pout*

Eh, Baltar is just... Bridget's Gay Friend! Ooh, can I have Cally? She kicks ass.

You may have to fight woodface for her.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

...I refuse to fight woodface for her. SHE'S MINE.

Bah. ;)

See, I remember being excited about Old BSG because it actually *had* women in it, and they occasionally did things. But I was always disappointed in how little.

Remember, Charlie's Angels (which, if I remember correctly, was on at about the same time) was actually revolutionary, because despite the boob-sploitation, the women did not get rescued by a guy, and it was a hit show despite that. There was no confidence in women characters' ability to hold their own.

Some of the best "women who actually do kick butt" characters are in very SF/Fantasy genre grade B movies/TV shows, and they were required to show tons of skin. The first openly kick-butt major female character that I can recall in a hit TV show was Xena, followed closely by La Femme Nikita. There would be no Lara Croft or Sydney Bristow without Xena. Or boob-sploitation.

Indeed. I saw the female pilots. I also saw that mostly the guys called them 'girls' and didn't think much of their skills... (but that's me looking back from 2005, where newBSG women are just considered pilots, and gender doesn't make a difference in what you do).

Yup. There'd be no Scully/Trinity/etc without Leia, boobsploitation, Ripley, ... et al. Hrm.

[lytarules.livejournal.com]

I *loved* Leia. But they didn't give her much to do as the series progressed other than shoot and snark - the major plot points were almost all handled by the guys. I was disappointed there, too. And I notice that Star Wars is continuing this way - all the major Jedi characters are still males.

*in best impersonation of Newt* RIPLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

[lytarules.livejournal.com]

Ripley was so cool! And she kicked alien butt!

But she was not on TeeVee. (But neither was Lara Croft, so I have no idea what my point is here.)
