Date: Sunday, March 10th, 2013 01:37 pm (UTC)Heh, now you mention it, BOY did they!
Because she was a pretty positive character so far (and she is a stand-in for a part of the fandom).
Not so sure about the positive. Her projection of her feelings for Sam has clearly reached astral Snapewive-levels even before she does that. It also makes me wonder about how the show sees its fandom.
It's obvious that there would be fans like Becky because they're in every fandom, but she's shown as so deranged and over the top and treated with contempt, which is a weird thing to do for a fandom-stand-in. The gay LARPers in 5.09 are far better off than she is and even get to save the day, after a fashion. Becky does tell them about the colt, but she seems to be astral-dating Sam at the end of that episode.
The actors and writers are actually rather sweet to the fans, though, and have a lot of humour.
Yes, I'd heard about that! It seems to me as though they're bringing the fandom appreciation and respect that the show doesn't have.
Season 8 is better, though, since Tiger Mommy and Charlie are probably the first genuinely likeable female characters in the series with multiple episodes (more or less, at least).
Oh, I'm not that far yet, I'll be curious. :)
