And I'm not talking about the hair and clothing. (I actually think, for 70s sci-fi, Buck Rogers has aged rather well.) I'm talking about...
1) The women look like they might occasionally eat actual food. I have yet to see a single one whose head looks like a lolly on a stick. And it saddens me that I have to remind myself that no, these women are not fat, modern media has warped my perceptions.
2) Both men and women actually look old enough to have the jobs they have, as opposed to being anime-aged.
3) There are enough women. Not enough for any kind of gender parity, and certainly not as major as I'd like, nor developed as I'd like (WTF Wilma and your "Buck I will prove to you I am a WOMAN!" speech at the end of the pilot, OMG childhood girlcrush SHATTERED), but enough for slashing, which is a low bar plenty of shows aren't reaching still.
