I can't watch the show for the reasons you gave about Fiona. :/ It makes me feel shitty, but I'm too grossed out by the fact that they cast a woman with stick arms / legs to portray an action-y lady YET AGAIN, and I haven't been able to get past that to actually get to liking any of the characters.

If I try to mention this, I just look like a bad person, but it's not something I can get over, and frankly, I don't see why I should always have to "get over" stuff like this.

I noped out of the show.

NA

Honestly this secret made me so selfishly happy because that was one of the biggest things that bothered me about this show!

These aren't even her at her worst (she got SO THIN for so much of Burn Notice) but she's painful to look at to be honest.

I feel like they should have cast a much more buff, athletic actress if they wanted to portray a true "action spy lady", which they definitely portrayed Fiona as. I'm thinking like Jessica Biel (http://i0.wp.com/www.healthfitnessrevolution.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/jessica-biel1.jpg?resize=750%2C520 The abs!), Lucy Liu, Halle Berry, all women who have gotten into extremely athletic shape for action roles.

I'm so tired of tough, capable women being portrayed by actresses who look like they've never seen a burger before. :/

ASGILIJSH:;hj JESSICA BIEL!!

I would so binge watch if she was the character. <3 Perfect example of strong and beautiful actress.

(And I have nothing against the actress in question, BTW. Just for that part.)

I agree that she was too skinny for my tastes a lot of the time. (I really don't like seeing her ribs like that in the bathing suit picture, for example.) Was she really supposed to be truly "actiony," though? I thought most of her work involved cons or guns. She wasn't Wonder Woman or Natasha Romanoff.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-27 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
DA I wouldn't say she was supposed to be Wonder Woman or of super hero caliber, but the writing did suggest some level of physical strength she was supposed to have. I always read it that she was supposed to be in as good of shape as Michael and a decent fighter even if guns/explosives were her specialty.

So she wouldn't need to be ridiculously buff but it really wouldn't hurt her character to have some muscle.

I agree with this. Very thin people are hard to watch in action roles because it's both unconvincing and looks like they're going to break apart.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-27 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, so much. I tend to end up feeling like they were cast to conform to some casting director's porn fantasies and portray the idea that "ALL WOMEN LOOK THIS WAY WHAT DO YOU MEAN they have different body types??"

I'm very cynical. ;)

I like the actress a lot and that helped me get through the show, but I agree that she was too skinny and had a bit too much work done to the point that it could be distracting.

I don't blame her since being that skinny is very supported/the norm for Hollywood actresses, but I wish she could have been a bit more bulky, not even considerably, just enough to feel like a fit spy.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-27 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
She would be wonderful in so many other roles. But I do wonder if she's healthy. It unnerves me seeing actress ribs so prominently.
