Is super-smart super-bitch really a thing? Is this a Bones reference? Because I can't think of any good examples of it. But it's true that what in a dude passes for arrogance is interpreted as bitchiness in a woman. Double standards, go!

I think you're right in that the ensemble shows are the ones where you also get nice m/f friendships! There are more examples I can think of: Mal and Zoe, for example. (♥♥♥) But in a duo show? How is Bones doing on that? I haven't even seen the pilot! And I can't think of any other m/f pair since Mulder and Scully (and oh god the trainwreck that became).

Oh, don't worry. I am already on the fan-rage train, you didn't sell me tickets!
