Why is it that lately most of the shows I watch tend to have a female character that really seems to annoy the heck out of me? 1) Arrow: Laurel and Thea find a way to whine about anything and somehow find a way to make it everyone else's fault 2) Merlin: Character who can't seem to think "hey, I killed people, maybe that was a bad thing after all" and antagonist who...actually, I don't even know what her deal is, she just annoyed me from the beginning with all her "You did this and you're wrong, I hate you", "You kept this from how, how dare you", and of course "I deserve this, and I don't have it, now I'm going to throw a giant tantrum and ruin everyone's lives".....Supernatural much? 3) Once Upon A Time: Regina, Snow, and Emma find a way to whine about anything. Henry's annoying too, but in a different sense 4) Fringe: Strong female lead who keep all the whiny stuff in until plot says so....which is often The Librarians at least didn't annoy me when I watched it. I could understand why characters did what they did, and they even had ways to redeem themselves in each episode for their faults, in comedic fashion at that. Melissa and Joey was a comedy, so even the whiny parts were funny. So somehow most of these shows get a character in there that annoys me because, you know, common sense, who needs it? May be taking this stuff a little personally, but good lord do I hate watching shows where so many character whine and make every problem about themselves, especially when it's the female. If they're going to do that, someone give me a show where it's a male next time; partly so I don't look like I'm sexist and partly so I can go "yay, someone did something different and didn't stereotype the female"
I' m not sure I' m following you on Fringe. Olivia doesn' t throw that many temper tantrums (she' s actually pretty introverted) and she usually has ****ing good reasons to throw them. Besides Peter and Walter aren' t exactly zen masters in comparison. I won' t disagree about Arrow though, god are those two annoying.
