[fandom] the good, the bad, and the undead

[escritoireazul]

The good: It looks like maybe Friday Night Lights will be renewed.

The bad: I'm not sure I can keep watching Supernatural. I've just about reached my limit of women who are victims or enemies every. goddamn. time. Every. single. woman. I'm really quite sad about this, because I love Supernatural, I love the sibling relationship, I love the monster stories, I love the music, and I love the Impala, but I don't like the way they portray women, I've never liked it, and I'm really disappointed and frustrated.

The undead: From the directors of Undead, which is an awesome Australian horror movie (with some fantastic portrayals of women, by the way), there will now be Daybreakers. The synopsis:

Hawke will play a researcher in the year 2017, when a plague has transformed most of the world's population into vampires. As the human population nears extinction, vampires must capture and farm every remaining human or find a blood substitute before time runs out. Meanwhile, a covert group of vampires makes a discovery that has the power to save the human race.

I hear you re: SPN. I've only caught the show a few times, but every time it's always some woman in need of rescuing by the pretty!strong!men. There just isn't any other stuff about the show that appeals to me enough to tune in ever again.
