Most prime time shows aired their finales last week and we’re already missing Jess, Bob, and the gang. Now that the summer TV season is bleakly stretching out before you, a desert dotted with the skeletons of late-night informercial products and the shadows of descending Food Network personalities, we wish to offer an oasis: a reflection on what we can look forward to when prime time returns in the fall. Which network has the ladies on lock?

HBO’s Game of Thrones has something for everybody — zombies, dragons, manipulation, sex, wolves, Peter Dinklage, violence, politics, homoerotic subtext, songs bysuper hip indie bands, more sex — but what we love most are Westeros’ badass women: the dames of thrones fight, plot, snark, strive, and are as multifaceted and intriguing as their male counterparts. Each week, The Jane Dough will rank the GoT ladies according to how hard they ruled in last night’s episode. Start your Mondays feeling like the commander of dragons, rather than the bleary-eyed version of yourself you usually bring to work at the beginning of the week. When you play the game of feminism, you win or you…well, don’t win.

Motherhood: the toughest job you’ll ever love (or is that the Army?). Mother’s Day is coming up this Sunday, and we know that for us it’s a time to reflect on how much our mothers were able to do for us, while frequently working full time jobs outside the home.

Sexist people wear skinny jeans too.

SCDP is going places…but many characters might not be so happy about the direction.
