Heh, yeah, SoA. Essentially the reason I keep getting linked to pics of Katey Sagal every time I Google myself.;)
And yes, I agree with you on your other two points as well: A) I seriously don't care how "female-friendly" some stuff is--if I give it a look and think it's shit, I'm going with the less "female-friendly" thing that isn't shit, thank you very much, and B) people die. It's called drama. Sometimes those people are chicks, or gay, or not white, etc. And sometimes they should be the opposite, because if they're never the default characters, then you're obviously stuck in Miami Vice tragic-fuck-of-the-week territory (except worse, because at least back then, the black, Latino and combo characters could actually get some, too!).
Dee's end on BSG startled me, but it worked damn well, within context. It showed how bad things had gotten. And it worked because she seemed like someone who'd never go down that route, too. I don't see it as a betrayal.
