DUN DUN DUUUN. No, really I couldn't say. Though I can however tell you that it is a pattern seen in his work before. Lol..or maybe that’s just what he wants you to think! DUN DUN DUUUN.

I guess I feel like the show's sexualization is so blatant that it must be on purpose - maybe to prove a point - but perhaps I am giving him too much credit because of all his fans.

Although it may have something to do with the fact that Wheadon has a pension for sexualising every female character to the point of them becoming living blow-up dolls. Hopefully this won't be another disappointment. I dunno, the whole premise of the show irks me for some reason.

And thank you for pointing out that Racialicious article to me on Twitter – it made me think of the show past its face value. The show itself isn't entirely bad considering other garbage that's out there, and I actually look forward to it a lot. It seems to have a lot of potential, but I know there have been complaints about the roles of the women on the show because the main character is basically molded every week to meet some guy's fantasy. But then again, the way the show is played out makes me think that Whedon is doing this intentionally to lead up to some kind of turning point. Just have to wait and see, I guess. Thanks dire!
