I heard the song "On a Mission" by Gabriella Cilmi the other day and went...wow, this is like, every woman on LotS ever. I mean, even the female guest stars usually have a plot of some kind, and I don't mean just the evil kinds. It's things like that that make me wonder what exactly the gender politics of the TV-version of the Midlands/D'Hara are, since usually in entirely patriarchal societies women are taught to be passive.
