Jirl Power - The Women Saving Farscape
When many people think of science fiction fans, they think of overweight, unwashed 30-year old males living in their parents’ basement. (Comic Book Guy, anyone?) Even SCI FI Channel president Bonnie Hammer seems to think so, saying this November, “We realized with Taken that there were women who would come to us if we aired event programming that dealt more with the human psyche and emotions.” An interesting statement, considering that in September 2002 SCI FI cancelled Farscape, a show with a pretty much even 50/50 male/female demographic. These women adore Farscape, as much as any Comic Book Guy.
Interesting read actually. And I agree. Even if there are series I’d rather save if I could. Maybe that is what the article proves also. I’m just not androgynous enough. ![]()
