So I was having a think about Farscape.
Specifically, I was thinking about Farscape ladies, and I thought this: that they're not objectified*, and they're not treated like over-emotional wet blankets who can't keep their tears in check. Also none of them run screaming to John asking him to save them because dang, they can take care of themselves, and they can do it better than he can (in some cases. In all cases if your name happens to be Aeryn Sun :D ). Also none of them are airheads, either.
(Jool comes off as an airhead on first encountering her, which was the primary reason I disliked her so much. But she grew, and she changed, and when she was gone I missed her because I'd come to like her. OK, so that's one example BUT. She doesn't retain that personality for the rest of forever, amen. Which she might have done had she been on a different show).
If I am AT ALL WRONG, please feel free to correct me. As I say in the below, it's been a while.
*I'm sure there are examples, but I can't think of many (any) off the top of my head, and it's four years since I lasted watched any eps. Yes, I am due a rewatch, and that's what triggered this. Although I would like to shove the middle of S3 in the freezer because who needs traumatising that much, right.
