Chicks Dig "Battlestar"
Mar. 24th, 2007 02:31 pmOf course we do!:
The audience for "BSG" is 37 percent female, with 43 percent more young female viewers than another Sci-Fi series, "Stargate SG1," the channel's Lana Kim says.
... At a time when a broadcast network pushes "The Search for the Next Pussycat Doll" as female empowerment, "BSG" showcases a society in which men and women are genuinely equal.
"Finally, we are seeing some really powerful women on TV," Bertrand says, adding that when she thought about the female characters and why they are strong, "the president of all the colonies being a woman wasn't even first on my list."
Word. When McG made a straight-faced claim that the Doll show is "third wave feminism," I just about barfed.

BSG Question
Oct. 24th, 2005 11:02 pmIn the miniseries, where Number 6 says "There are 12; I'm number 6," is she saying there are 12 of each type of humanoid cyclon, or that there are 12 of the humanoid cyclon models and she's the 6th type (the Marilyn Monroe model, or whatever). I tried to count the "Sharon" models from Kobol's Last Gleaming pt II, but the relative lack of light and the wierd way the camara cut made it difficult.
