Gender issues
Sep. 30th, 2006 12:11 amBoredom drove me from Doctor Who premiere, which is just not working for me, with the possible exception of one brief sequence that contained a malevolent Xmas Tree. Rose is the only character that does not grate on my nerves. And I *really* miss Christopher Eccleston who left the role to take the lead in the new Prisoner. (Is it just me, or are the Brits suffering from the same malady as the Americans, being unable to come up with new ideas, so revisiting old ones? )Not that I blame Eccleston, found Doctor Who overall somewhat dull and repetitive, the dialogue, sigh, just well, it did not thrill me. In short, I've either seen one too many sci-fi tv analogy shows in my lifetime, or people just like to redo the same ideas over and over again. The only science fiction fantasy show that's blown me away since Farscape is well, BattleStar Galatica v.2. I'm thinking I'm either just burnt out on the genre or I never was truly into it to begin with? Or maybe I just find certain types of sci-fi unappealing? You can after all be a fan of a genre and not like everything in it.
So I tuned into 20/20 - which had a fascinating story on gender, the differences between the genders and the result of negative stereotyping. Two of the guests were particularly interesting:
( talks about sex and gender )
Watch, once I get a job, my tv interests will probably change completely. Brain is bored right now it requires constant stimulation. When it gets overloaded, I'll probably go back to non-stimulating material. Course, I'll also stop posting so much in this lj.
