i always try to avoid so-called spoilers regarding my favorite tv shows, but i managed to read something about the third season of Alias that is really bothering me. what the hell are writers of such great shows thinking? we have a great, ass-kicking female protagonist who really turns the tables and guess what, sooner or later the (male) writer(s) decide(s), oh well, this is getting boring, so let’s get the girl pregnant. happened to Agent Scully in The X-Files, too. why do almost all men think that getting pregnant is the ultimate goal in a woman’s life? as experience shows, once the baby is born the show goes down the drain. my favorite example is – again – The X-Files… what did Scully in the last season after she delivered? hugging her baby, lamenting about somebody is going to do some harm to little William, and turning into a weak, tear-shedding “mother”. no more ass-kicking. if that’s going to happen to Alias as well… oh well… there are some lessons tv writers still have not learned yet.
