“Lynn Joyrich has outlined in some detail her theories regarding how television melodrama, gender and affect in soap opera coax a “feminine” viewpoint. At the same time, Tania Modleski has criticized soap operas for directing female anger at female power. The science fiction series Farscape (199table-of-contents002) figures aesthetically as a science fiction/soap opera hybrid, which works toward increasingly empowered female representation,” which the author discusses.
