I glanced at the TR. It's not as bad as I thought, but still...
OF COURSE B. is better at baseball than H. Of course she is.
She's more masculine, too, apparently. Because that's what 4'11" microbiologists are known for; being rough and ready
She's better than him at everything, apparently.
See, this is what irritates me even when there's nothing actively unpleasant happening with the ships: the women look down on the men. They have a sort of benign contempt for them, like they're cute little puppies who pissed on the floor. The men are incompetent, the women are capable.
I suppose you could get some good-natured humor out of the guys' lack of athletic ability if it was handled in a "laughing with, not at" type of way. That could be cute and funny. That's sort of what they did with H&R attempting to wrestle in "Alien Parasite", and that was funny. But I can't take any more of the all-knowing woman and the incompetent man...
H/B has two modes: cloyingly sweet, and verbally abusive. I still have trouble accepting the idea that she's an actual character and they're married. This is a character who should've lasted for two or three episodes, tops.
Also, is there anyone left on planet Earth who actually thinks Harry Potter is an obscure nerd-reference? That is one of the top-selling books of ALL TIME, with 100 million copies sold. Methinks somebody besides hardcore nerds has read it...
Now I just want to watch Raj teach Howard to play cricket, or something...
I am in a state today, you guys...
