counting women and people of color in Stargate SG1 season 1

if this turns into a meme and everyone takes a season we'll end up with huge heaps of shiny data :-)

I'm doing this for the Donald Scrathcly movie series, and I'm rather surprised that the series isn't failing as hard as I thought it would. It's still failing the tests themselves right and left, since most of the scenes are Donald ( white male ) talking to one other character, but there's still a lot more women/people of color than I thought there was.

The reason that I thought it would be complete fail was it's a gay/LGBT series, and series that have lots of gay men don't tend to have lots of women/people of color characters, as apparently media can only portray one minority at a time.

I am not familiar with the series
but the observation that one can only have one minority at a time has a depressing sort of true feeling about it
even if Torchwood does kind of okay at several
