But man. Having her be a bit dark would just be awesome. Dark characters rock! Complexity is cool, and interesting... which 'plot devicily naive and selfrighteous' is not. Because I do get their reasoning. But the point is, I shouldn't. It should not be so obvious that that's what they're doing with her. It's insulting to viewers' intelligence (and hello, this is the adult show, we are grownups) and detracts from what we should be doing, which is enjoying and speculating on the events. It's jarring, and so I see it as a show, not something real, which I felt with Doctor Who. And with a show, I can pick apart the flaws in the writing and directing, instead of accepting them as logical IC mistakes. We need something real. Some development and darkness that isn't just the general moping we seem to have going.
Oh, and RTD, by 'dark'? I do not mean whiny and angsty. I saw you think, now stop it. Been done. You give reasons.
And hows about some goddamn continuity while we're at it.
