It takes a brave man to cast Zack from Saved by the Bell as a rape victim in his show.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

I wouldn't think it would require anything more than a former Saved by the Bell viewer bent on revenge.

"Don' be e-scared"
I will admit, there is violence against women. However in that second episode... well, I'll let you be judges. In the third, the victims are all men. So I'd say in the first three, the major victims are equally male/female. So I'm not sure saying it's all about violence against women washes, frankly. (Allyson and Kristen will hopefully back me up on this -- I'm talking Pilot, Old Wounds, Pre-Filer. Body count pretty even, seems to me.)
In the fourth episode, no females were injured in the filming of that episode.
I'll admit I put my hero in peril a lot. Too much, actually. I did it with Angel, Mal and even Jaye. But there's a story point here regarding Rebecca and that. Still, having your main character get grabbed every week, weak. I'll try not to do that in the future. As much. And the thing is always gonna be dark. Now I have to get back to my 900 lb serial killer, thanks. (And it's not always serial killers, either, btw.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

For five bucks and a Coke, I'll say anything you want.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Did the press get the first three eps, or the pilot and two later ones? I remember w/ Wonderfalls, it was something like 1, 5, and 8. (And then 2 was included in the second wave of press kits, and then Fox changed the order of the other ones.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
