Point taken about Jo as a gender counterpoint.
Definitely pinged by the Dr./Ms. discrepancy, but I chalked it up to the whole new role, new identity thing. Maybe it'll smooth out in the future.
Jayne: Well... I don't like the idea of someone hearin' what I'm thinkin'. Inara: No one likes the idea of hearing what you're thinking.

Boxed Set, Vol. IV: It's always suicide-mission this, save-the-planet that.
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jo's a textbook counterpoint, though.
No, I'm being harsh. Can she cook?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
When I worked in nerdland, nobody called anyone else "Dr.". Everyone usually went by their first name.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Jo makes men cook for her.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
But more importantly, Allison's decision was an emotional one, placing the welfare of one person above that of the community. Wasn't it? It turned out in her favor, but not because of her agency. Because she trusted people, not because of anything she did?
Ah, but as anyone raised on Star Trek knows, she made the *right* decision because it was emotional and therefore HUMAN.
Imagine how much S-F could fuck with it's viewers if it just refused to follow Roddenberry logic.

If Jo makes men cook then she's pretty textbook. If she sucks at it, she's textbook. If she's brilliant at it still textbook but a different volume.

I'm being harsh. She's not bad. She's not Zoe (other Zoe), but she's not bad.

Poor Jo. No wonder she's so thin. If she wants to be not-textbook and still eat, what does she do?

Cook like the rest of us do. Averagely.
