YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Queen.



I had a feeling I was going to love this and it's all!??! So??!!? Great!?!?!?!

Give me all the stories about wrenching back self determination and autonomy in the face of both coercive and abusive religious power structures and male privilege and fill them with witches and powerful middle aged women and Michelle Gomez and a really fantastic soundtrack, please and thank you.

I don't even like things about teenagers, as a rule.

Also it's stinking gorgeous and when there was a scene of two guys talking 2 hours and fifteen minutes in it felt weird and out of place.

(I'm only a few episodes in, but. Everything is beautiful.)

I'm still just wallowing in the sheer women-centeredness of this show. Like I said in the original post, in episode three there's a scene of two men talking to each other and it feels wrong. It's scenes and scenes and scenes of women and their relationships and it's one of those things that you didn't realize how badly you needed it until you got it.

I don't know if I mentioned it, but we watched Star Wars: A New Hope at some point (like, during the summer or something) and the wall-to-wall White Men was... not easy. EVERYONE is male. And white. Apart from Luke's aunt, Princess Leia and a few seconds of Mon Mothma. Bad guys, resistance, EVERYONE IS MALE AND WHITE. Except for the aliens, obvs.

100% prefer the new films where the resistance is diverse and the bad guys are all white.
