The show's got more cheese in it than my father's lasagna, (which is a lot of cheese), but I do enjoy the show so much. A lot of it's got to do with the acting, as you can really tell that just about everybody involved is having a good time. Nobody takes the show too seriously, which is a good thing, because, honestly, it's a sci-fi western. With Bruce Campbell in the lead.
That being said, my mind has been rather occupied with an episode Mr G and I watched a couple of nights ago. I don't remember the name, (and I'm too lazy to look), but it's the one with the tank, an in this episode, Brisco, Professor Wickwire, and, eventually, Lord Bowler ended up in an all-woman town.
At first, I was cringing. Especially when the female sheriff stated that there was a gun ordinance in the town. And they showed the sign that said "No Man's Land." Man-hating, ineffectual, pacifist ladies! They clearly just need mens to help them come around, right? Thankfully, however, that wasn't really the ending that materialized. Even though the bad guys had guns, and the women didn't, and they did need the help of Brisco, Bowler, and the Professor, they weren't represented as just helpless womenfolk. Besides, the idea of a town where women can go to escape the prejudices and abuse they'd suffered was a pretty neat one. And Brisco quite clearly didn't get the girl in the end.
But, you know what my favorite thing about this episode was? The German blacksmithing women. They were very attractive, but they were also really, really muscular. They had the biggest biceps I'd ever seen on a woman that's supposed to be attractive on a TV show. They had shoulders that could actually support their really big breasts. It was a small thing in the episode, but I was quite impressed.
