And it's not that I dislike the shows, in fact I really dig Sarah Connor and Dollhouse, well, there is some potential in it but I don't see Fox sticking with it. Also, I guess DLH hasn't accumulated an insta-Whedon fandom or something, either. And just once in a blue moon when a show manages to severely annoy me with its treatment of women. ( Read more... )
I don't have a real problem with depiction of prostitution or slavery per se but I'm not sure I want to watch the protagonist of a show lead the life of an extreme slave for the whole duration of said show. There was a reason why Dark Angel started with Max escaping or Pretender with Jarod on the run.
Even my beloved Alec, who had a fucking personality even while at Manticore and clearly worked the system a little bit, I could have not have watched in "the Manticore years" and seen him get used and abused with no real means to fight back. Even though played by Jensen Ackles, I would totally have watched it anyhow. But I would have wept in grief after each episode. Ahem.
