Oh no, anything but FANNISHNESS. Because I hate it so :)
Yeah, gender bender was a lot better than I was expecting, while I think the subtext was still a bit problematic it was at least in an interesting complex way beyond the usual "people of ambiguous gender are SCARY AND EVIL (and maybe tragic)". Especially since, yes, so many of the episodes have the subtext "people *in unusual group X* are SCARY AND EVIL (and maybe tragic)" :/ Did you see The X-Files, the Other, and the Mutant Enemy on metafandom, about the treatment of mutants and The Other on the show? I'm deliberately not rereading it for fear of spoilers :)
And the fact they had Lea acting
*is confused* *is dumb?*
I'm watching it in order, am up to disk 6 of season 1.
