Well, LOST now joins Rescue Me--
-- on the list of 'shows I used to like but will no longer watch'. And what do you know, for sortof the same reasons.
So Shannon (whom I adored) wasn't enough. Neither was Danielle-- she's always been one of my favorite characters. Ana-Lucia's storyline could've been handled so much better. Libby had great potential. Nadia was always someone I looked forward to seeing. And now they gun down Alex, too?
The fact that it's turning into a killfest bugs me enough, but hm, what do those characters all have in common? Let me think.
Boone dies trying to do something to save them, generally considered a hero's death. Charlie? Knew he was going to die heading down there, did it anyway. Definitely a hero's death. The women? Gunned down by accident or as collateral damage or to hurt/manipulate the men.
I hate the thought of not watching anymore, because I used to love it so incredibly much, and I'll keep up with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ack_attack's recaps because even if I don't like the show in question she's hilarious, but. . .
I know several of the other shows I watch have issues with their female characters; I'm hard-pressed to find any show that's perfect in that area, but they haven't gotten nearly this bad. I'm done.

Looking back, I should've just stopped watching after Shannon was killed, because that was when the show started taking a nosedive for me. But I kept thinking it'd get better. Oops.
