That said, despite brief moments from female characters (many of them awesome series regulars who were just here to wave and say hi in this episode) I find the relentless all-male nature of this show aggravating. Just as an aggressively gender dichotomous world is uncomfortable for me to live in, a single-gendered world is unpleasant for me to watch.
You've described how I felt about Supernatural, which was, at points, an incredible show with some good plotlines ... but then I got aggravated at a world where only skinny straight white people existed, and women only showed up to either be evil or sleep with one or the other of the protagonists and then meet a violent end. I had an easier time believing in the supernatural aspect of the show than its narrow and stereotyped view of the world.
