It was the blonde bimbo turning the tide on the male big bad and looking good while she did it. This article poses from interesting discussion about feminism, girl power, and female empowerment, and how the commercial appeal affects the message for women. -------------------- �Bones is heading into its 7th year & there comes a point where you put up or shut up...You can�t extend that tension that long without your fans breaking." ~ Castle's creator

This article on Buffy the Vampire Slayer regrouping after Season 8.

QUOTE

To be fair, the change had actually started with the final issue of Season Eight, which ended with a text piece from Whedon where he broke the hidden golden rule about making comics: Never admit that you�re wrong. In his trademark good humored tone, Whedon admitted that parts of Season Eight had strayed a little from what made Buffy Buffy, and had gotten so used to the idea of �It�s comics! With no budget worries, we can do anything!� that the question of �Is doing anything necessarily a good idea?� sometimes got left behind. It was a short essay that, in one fell swoop, won back a lot of the goodwill that the series had lost over its forty issue run just by being honest and recognizing some of the problems that had plagued the series throughout its run.
