You should check out Person of Interest. They give terrific female characters, and right now there are two pretty freaking awesome ones in the leads (Sam Shaw and Root.) Plus, the Machine is referenced as "She."

Yet they fridged the only black character (who was also a woman) this season.

You can say a lot about Carter's death -- that it was a tragic loss of an awesome character, that we all miss the hell out of her and the show isn't the same without her -- but I don't think you can call her death a fridging. Any fridge-like aspects were tacked ham-handedly on like an afterthought, and seriously were not the point.

But there must be a clause in every writer's contract that says they have to treat every female character death that way or something. I swear to God.

Anyway, that doesn't take away two seasons of Carter's awesome arc, nor the fact there is Sam Shaw, who has bizarre, unnatural depths of cool I want to emulate. Or the fact the Machine is referred to in canon as "she" and "God" and pretty much controls everyone's actions through Root.
