my opinion matters

I consider myself a feminist. I am not going to go into a lengthy explanation of why, I just do. However, it seems as though I generally hate women on television. Not all of them, of course, but usually the ones who are the leads on a TV show. SVU, LOST, CSI, I could name a lot. I personally think it's because most of the women on TV are on shows like SVU  or something where they play detectives or police or FBI or whatever. And it's always a really attractive and skinny girl who is this huge badass on the force. I find it difficult to believe. There was this show on a few seasons ago that I'm sure got canceled called Alcatraz  that I watched because Jorge Garcia was on it and he is great, but the other lead on the show was a female FBI agent. She was fine, I guess, but I didn't buy it. She was really skinny and I couldn't picture her ever taking down a suspect, so how did she get so far in her career? I bought Ana Lucia as a cop on LOST , but she was awful. She was...

I am aware that not everyone shares my affinity for Star Trek. In 2009, a new film with a new cast was released that gave me hope about the future of the franchise, and I think the new changes have opened up the franchise to a new generation. Personally, I love The Next Generation. I think those seven years were television at its best, except for maybe the six years The West Wing was on the air (okay, the first four years at least). What is great about TNG is that it gives you hope for the future. I know that is SO not what you expected me to say, but it's the truth. I want nothing more than to have a replicator and to be able to transport anywhere --- wait. I have to interrupt my train of thought to point this out. I am currently watching an early season one episode of TNG, "The Last Outpost," and Data just said, "This shouldn't be." I know that production errors happen and they probably had yet to flesh out all of the eccentricities of Data's character...

I’ve been watching  Under the Dome  for a few weeks now, and it’s a good show – entertaining, creepy, good character  development. But my problem is –  why would you go to work? I mean, a giant dome drops over your entire town, and waitresses show up to work? Yeah right. You know there’s no way they’re getting paid, and for that matter, there’s no way people are paying for their food that day, because nobody really carries cash anymore, and when they do, it’s ones and fives, not fifties.  Especially not in a small town.   I could maybe understand doctors or nurses or police going to work, but  anything  in  the menial labor category? No way.  And if nothing electronic works in the town, how are people doing much of anything? I would think that means gas pumps don’t work anymore, but you  still see people driving around, even though they can’t get anywhere. I know that it’s a television show, and that’s usually the response I get...
