skygiants: Princess Tutu, facing darkness with a green light in the distance (lady disdain)
I was going to start this post 'my kryptonite is . . .' but to be honest, many things are my kryptonite. But AMONG the many things that are my kryptonite are female characters who aren't nice. For whom nice is just not important becuse they are too busy getting shit done.

Which is to say, [livejournal.com profile] innerbrat has been making me watch Press Gang the past two weeks and it's kind of eaten my brain.

Press Gang is a nineties show written by a gentleman whose name some of you may recognize, one Mr. Stephen Moffat. It's about a bunch of tiny ace reporters who run a JUNIOR NEWSPAPER which eventually becomes an actual self-running newspaper once they all graduate and keep doing it. It is full of clever dialogue, sort of adorable in the way it tackles Serious Issues, and driven by a female character who is rapidly becoming one of my favorites of all time.

So of course that means a character picspam under the cut! )

I'm about halfway through the show right now and just enjoying it more and more as it goes on; it's clearly growing up with the characters, and I'm excited to watch as they actually get out of high school.

I am also in the process of talking Debi into writing me the AU where Lynda is the Slayer. The best part is the paper would never ever stop being her chief priority, and destiny be damned; when the new edition was coming out the vampires would JUST HAVE TO WAIT.
