Eh, I never took what I did all that seriously. Hence all the typos, and mistakes. It was for fun! Or at least I was having fun with it. (Some people knit and count for fun, I analyze cultural things and post about it on the internet - weird I know, but there it is. (Ugh, stupid yogurt container wouldn't open - it's icelandic style skyr strained non-fat orange and ginger yogurt by Siggis (which I'm currently addicted to)). Yes, on my lunch break - can't you tell? ;-)
The internet and political correctness. Where to start? Ugh. Let's just say there's often not always a tendency towards hypocrisy and hyperbole when it comes to this topic. I've had my analysis attacked by the politically correct police. And sigh, people do take themselves and their tv shows far too seriously sometimes.
That's not to say you shouldn't do analysis on this topic or that excellent analysis has not been done. It has. Can't think of any at the moment, and don't have the time to read the link posted above.
Seriously though I don't look to fluffy shows for high art and intellectual themes, but I don't think it's too much to ask that they don't slap us in the face with cliches and stereotypes.
True. Sometimes I wonder if I've forgotten more tv shows than most people online have watched? Should do a meme or something to find out, would if had the time. At any rate - I have a list of tv shows that slap us in the face with cliches and stereotypes all the bleeding time. Moffat, from what I've seen of his work to date (haven't seen Sherlock Holmes) - isn't that bad. Actually he's a lot better than RTD and JJ Abrhams - who can at times make me cringe with their stereotypes and cliches. And don't get me started on Bones. But as in all things mileage varies.
okay off to get chocolat, then back to the grindstone.
