calliopes_museAfter watching both of these show, I can't help but make a few femslashy comments about them.
First of all, I had no idea that Cashmere Mafia would have a lesbian storyline. For those who don't know, the character Caitlin (OMG, sexy in a cute kind of way!), which I got the impression is the group slut, has a thing for a woman, and The Powers That Be actually had them kiss in the first episode!!! Holy crap, I didn't know what to do with myself. Of course, there's the obligatory "I don't know what I am" spiel coming from Caitlin. However, I have to say that I liked the nonchalance the expressed in "outing" herself to her friends. It was a "I like a woman, so what?" kind of attitude. The pessimist in me is reluctant to get too excited about it. There have been far too many times where a storyline had potential only to be snatched out from under us, right? With the writer's strike and now writer's being fired, there's not much chance the storyline much less the shows will advance very far.
For us femslash writers though, we can kick a dead horse until it becomes glue. We'll get all out of it that we can. Hell, we'll write the shows that should have been produced all along!
Second, The Sarah Connor Chronicles is my new addiction. My GAWD, I love this show! This is exactly what The Bionic Woman should have been and failed to be (don't get me started on BW and its utter lack of...well, everything). Lena Headey is incredibly hot as Sarah Connor! Summer Glau (Cameron) is the badass protective terminator and she's one sexy machine! There are moments between these two that I wonder about them. Besides, it does my heart good to see two women, even if one is a machine, kicking ass side-by-side and running the show. Reminds me of another female pair of asskickers. ;)
