beccaelizabethHex just keeps getting worse.
Which, yes, I know, makes it somewhat mysterious that I keep on watching it.
But it really does suck.
I mean there is no plot. They give this character super powers, and what does she use them for? Bugger all! She's too busy having sex! Its just this huge great soap with him being a fallen angel. Whats the point? Sex evil, sex makes crazy, oh wow this really needs saying. And look at all the girl power - power to have entire life be about sex! Oh, and it looks like soon, babies! Wow, thats revolutionary.
The fact this show got advertised as being like Buffy makes me mildly ill and rather angry.
Also, I can't make it make sense. Theres this ghost, and they keep making it a Thing that she can't touch people any more and therefore can't get any sex. But she can touch things. In fact she spent the whole episode setting up a way of electrocuting people. And she's always eating. So if she can touch all these other things, could she not touch things that touch people? What limits is she supposed to have anyway??? Bloody stupid.
The 4400 remains pointless.
Plus it reminds me of this mini rant I've had waiting where it seems like always telling stories about black people means telling stories about racism and slavery. I'm like, er, excuse me? Black people have lives! Regular lives full of doing things! Telling stories about them being slaves and them being lynched and all that might be meant to have the spin 'and it was wrong', but could they not tell the story where actually theres a whole ton of black people as have never been slaves at all?
/rant.
TV annoys me.
This is why I tend to watch DVDs of shows I already know.
That and the fact that if I'm watching ye ancient 70s SF... you know, I was going to say, I don't hold it to the same standard. But I don't think thats usually relevant. I mean I have DVDs full of warrior women and women of color and women in power and they're all ye ancient SF. Which just makes it dead depressing that these things can still look all shiny and wow 30 years later.
*sulk*
I'm, er, growly.
this happens when I watch hours and hours of stuff I don't like.
I also dumb.
