Featured review
The male gaze
An episode that never would have considered using Peter instead of Olivia for the same-sex scene. Sad. Not that using Peter would have been better, or worse, but the fact that a great show felt the need to do something so ridiculous and unnecessary is lame. They could have used any other emotion else besides the sexual and the episode loses nothing. Using it gains nothing, and actually makes the episode rather sophomoric and obviously done for male viewership. Not that women can't/don't find Olivia attractive or sexy, but it is unnecessary scenes like this (along the lines of the gratuitous boob shot) that just keep sexism alive.
