And finally, wow. Am I SO impressed that, at least judging from the promo art, the final arc of Season 8 penned by JW himself revolves around riffing on Twilight, a series that's actually really popular with teen girls right now. Because nothing says "feminism" like mocking what girls read/watch. Especially if one's own franchise fits that category too, or used to. Girls clearly don't know what they should be enjoying, yes? Maybe they really need some male author to get right on that and tell them.
GOD, this makes me want to go hulk!smash. I was outraged before, but only because I perceived JW as wrecking a wonderful 'verse because of sour grapes over Twilight's appeal. I don't like Twilight either, but Of COURSE this is there, too.

Thanks for a post full of insight and sense.
