Well, not unless she knows about Thor and his hammer. No reason why she should. (I didn't catch that bit.)
I've watched The Room, and she was very good in that. Even won awards. A lot of this is direction and well film, which isn't really an actors medium. As Marsters put it -- you are basically celery in film.
Maybe AtS was a weaker show because they had so few takes. :) (Running away and hiding now)
Nah. It was the writing team. Not many women writers. Male-centric series. And followed standard tropes...without being subversive or taking risks. They did try to go dark and get subversive in places -- but the network nixed it. The series had some of the same problems as early Buffy -- set up as Monster of the Week.
It really wasn't until maybe the fourth and fifth seasons that it started playing more with the genre it was in and doing experimental stuff. But a good portion of the audience hates experimentation or subversive writing, they want politically correct formula dammit.
