It was one of my reasons, too. I admit, I have been stunned, when I watched "A Tragedy of telepaths" first time, because one thing to reflect on destiny of the favourite character, thinking out versions about her wonderful rescue, and absolutely another thing to see how your dreams were embodied in a reality (let it was not absolutely how you imagined it).
There are many strong and interesting female characters in this show, and even Liz Edgars, the Garibaldi's wife, (whom I never liked, if to be honest) can become interesting if to get accustomed to her more closely...
