Television and the People on It

[annundriel]

Good TV week.

Project Runway starts tonight. I'm about as excited for it as I am for the Stargates, and that's saying something.

Friday SG-1 and SGA come back with exciting new episodes! It doesn't feel like I've waited that long for them, which is nice. Time flies and all that. I know what I'll be doing my Friday nights.

I've been watching a lot of Bravo lately, which means more Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. I usually don't get to watch it because during the school year I have work at that time. It used to be that Ted and Thom were my favorites, though I loved all of them. Now Ted's still my favorite (who doesn't love a guy who can cook?), but I find Kyan growing on me. The more I watch, the more I realize he's just a big gay dork. Which is great, 'cause he certainly doesn't look like a dork. But he is and it entertains me.

Also, Kyan looks strangely like Joe Flanigan. I don't know how I feel about that.

Finally, before I left for house-/dog-sitting in Seattle, I saw Joss Whedon's Equality Now speech. I suggest watching it, because yes, the man has a point that needs to be listened to by more people.

Thanks for sharing that link to Joss Whedon's Equality Now speech. I adore him more and more. And you too for sharing such goodies.

Honestly, the first time I watched Joss's speech I got teary. Because it is exactly true, all of it. Anything other than equality is unnatural. And why aren't there more stronge female characters? He's completely right that it's a sad state that what he's doing is being remarked upon, that it's different from what most of the rest of television is doing. It should be the norm and it's not.

So, yes, Joss Whedon is adored here. Because he is so right that I can't even fully articulate how it makes me feel.

Joss should get a place on our wall for his sheer awesomeness.
