    I'm sure you guys have already seen this, since the writer is Lizzie Skurnick, but I thought her discussion of ambition and the way it's gendered was interesting and jez-worthy:

    @Ailatan: This has me snorting coffee. Thank you. (MAMA!!)

    On a side note: What a great song. It keeps the musicality, even with off-key muppets at the helm.

    OhNoTheyDidnt turned up more pics from that same runway walk that were likely combined to form franken-Demi. It's pretty damning:

    Also, I'm still a little undecided on whether or not that is Demi's body in this picture. The shoulder pieces and the, erm, krotch pieces look a lot different.

    @Ailatan: I'm actually doing pretty awesome and am moving a lot faster than I was and eating normal food mostly. I'm not on anything tougher than standard Tylenol, because I'm going through caffeine withdrawal.

    I'm also filling my time with awesome costume dramas. BBC North and South is made of win.

    @activearchivist is lovely, in a moist, fluffy sort of way: Richard Armitage has me all hot and bothered. I highly recommend Jane Eyre (2006)

    I started watching Lorna Doone yesterday, it seems quite good.

    I'm happy you're doing well!

    @Ailatan: I'm actually kind of psyched about this. There hasn't been a Jane Eyre released in YEARS and it's one of my favorite novels, as I am a fan of period work.

    I know this is an oft-repeated trope in TV/fiction/movies, but I've been watching V and given the previews for next week's episode, it looks like "The REAL reason the V's are here!!!11!1!!!!!1!" has something to do with pregnant women (although I could be making that up, since I haven't seen the episode. I know there's an original "V" but I don't want to read about its plot because I like the new one and don't want to be spoiled). A big part of Lost also hinges on the reproductive (in)capability of women in "strange" lands. I'm sure there are other examples.

    The point being, in spite of a lot of new TV and other media having strong female characters (and may I point to Erica and Juliet, from V and Lost respectively, both played by Elizabeth Mitchell), the core motivation, the underlying cause of the conflict between either the Others and the Losties, or the V's and the Humans, seems to be about reproduction. It's about whose women can procreate, and the idea that only one group can do it at a time, and the conflict is that Group A has to make sure Group B is subjugated, enslaved, or annihilated in order for Group A to survive.

    ANYWAY. I've had some wine, and I like the sound of my own internet voice, and I'm sure someone smarter than me has already parsed this shit - hell, Jez may have. But yet the trope still has currency, and a smarter feminist's take on that would be rad, as I'm (a) still a neophyte and (b) too buzzed to think it through to a conclusion myself.

    @Penny_Esq: I watched episode 2 on Sat. I'm still not that advanced in the story. I was struck by the "health care" talk mentioned in ep 1.

    I enjoy the new V but I'm still uncertain about a few things, and I also find the teenage son very annoying.

    I will watch the coming episodes closely to see if I find something similar to what you've found.
