Heh. I don't hate Bionic Woman, though that's mostly because I'm enjoying Katee Sackhoff's role so much. I mean sure, I have major issues with it--there's some ranting about that here (http://ave-eva.livejournal.com/15026.html)--but if Sarah Corvis sticks around, I probably will too.
Well, to give him his due, Joss actually ran shows with lots of female characters . . . which shouldn't be revolutionary, but kind of is, particularly for genre shows. And I enjoyed many of them, particularly towards the beginning of his shows. Though I agree that the quality of his female characters (and the shows in general) deteriorated immensely towards the last few seasons of Buffy and Angel.
Oh, I think Joss'll have a ball with it. It's wacky, experimental, and stars a vulnerable-yet-kickass girl (not so much a woman, I'm thinking).
But I'm right there with you, quietly chewing nails. Good to have some company, anyway. ^^ I'm certainly interested to see how this goes.
