Hope this time it's real
By sb2004

Hopefully this time the reports will be accurate. I'm still miffed that the initial report that Rachel Nichols would be playing an OSG turned out to be false.

On another note, my 2 cents regarding the "sexualization" debate - it seems only Star Trek fans are uncomfortable enough with sexuality to bitch whenever it rears its head in the franchise, usually responding with a stock phrase like "it's childish", etc. The type of phrase that has lost all meaning alongside stock terms like "have a nice day".

Yet you look at BSG and other shows and the fans don't give a damn.

The only fandom that comes close to the "EWWW GROSS - GIRLS!" factor is Doctor Who, where everytime it seems as if a bit of nookie might occur in the TARDIS or, heaven help us, a couple of people snog, there are folks who treat it like the end of the world. But with Doctor Who there's a huge faction who still consider it a kid's show (never mind that many so-called kid's shows have been sexually aware for about 10 years now) so there's at least an excuse there.
