links about things I've been thinking about
Den of Geek has two articles up about stuff I've been thinking about.
Where are the female leads in UK geek TV by Andrew Blair, which is somewhat inspired by Atlantis and the still-not-gone-away discussion about the new iteration of the Doctor. I think the feature focuses a little too much on Dr Who, even though I get that that's THE flagship UK SFF show and therefore has the most influence, but it allowed the broader points and questions to get hijacked by that debate about whether the Doctor should be a woman - for proof, I submit the comments.
Downton Abbey, Shock and Responsibility (original title as can be seen on the link is spoilery for series 4, episode 3) about the spoiler and fans/viewers' response to it. You can see an example of said respnse at the lj Downton Abbey com here, where I haven't commented, because I think I watch the show differently to most of the fandom. Anyway, the article by Lousia Mellor ends up where I am, saying wait and see how they handle the fall-out.
It does raise a point that reminds me that I want to discuss ( spoilers ), but it would take a lot of time that I don't have to draft something coherent, that says what I want to say. But it occured to me that if ( spoiler )
