it's only tv

Sheesh.

I mean, yes, I know I shouldn't expect tv to be anything but all the worst aspects of the dominant culture, packaged up for entertainment.  But, sheesh.  I was enjoying myself, for awhile, there.

Anyway, wake up, nameless ABC execs who axed the lesbian storyline.  I'm frustrated to watch the cast of Grey's Anatomy get younger, straighter, and whiter; please stop trying to protect your audience from omigod, the scary gay people!

My tv-watching experience is becoming too much of "hey, look at the cute white guys and their shenanagins!"  I'd give it all up and just go play dwarf fortress with what lilttle free time I have, except it's kind of hard to knit in front of a video game.

It's pretty obvious that Grey's is being interfered with by powers higher than the show's writers or directors. I hate to do this, but I have sent an email to ABC letting them know that this was the last straw. The show was just fine as it was ... it doesn't need another Barbie doll (hello?! Izzie?!) and it doesn't need to be de-gayed, so to speak. It needs less of the TV-as-usual gimmicks (another model-turned-doctor, *yawn*) and more belief that the audience can handle a little girl-kissing here and there.

*sigh*

The new character is lesbian, no?

I miss Dr. Hahn, and I hate that they have once more made Callie, who is the most interesting character in the show, a spear carrier for other people's stories.

My understanding from the afterellen.com article (and the eonline.com article it linked to) was that she was going to be bisexual, but that the script was changed and instead nothing happens.
