Because, apparently, this is all I care about these days. That's not true, but I pay special attention to this issue. It makes me laugh because I know that my piece "Personality Pin-Ups" with the Performing Feminisms class creates a bit of an expectation about my opinions about this.
This is disappointing. I know that I've only been given less than three minutes for each show, but nothing looked good. Nothing here looks promising. There's not a single (lead) female character in this clips that caught my attention. They change nothing about how I want women to be seen on television. There was maybe one supporting female character that interested me, but not a single woman in a lead role that was even interesting.
Again and again there's not a female character onscreen that I want to identify with, there's not anyone I can aspire to be and not be ashamed.
So maybe it's time to write something for myself. We'll see how this summer goes. Because I'm sick of waiting around for a pilot that doesn't look like it's going to disappoint me four minutes in.
love,
hannah
