Status: offline 		I'm a relative newbie here so don't beat me up(oh, wait.  i'm a submissive so do as you wish!)if this topic has been discussed already but I am wondering what you all think about the way bdsm is portrayed on mainstream TV.  For example, the character of Lady Heather in 3 CSI episodes, "Slaves of Las Vegas", "Lady Heather's Box," and "The Rise of the 3rd Reich."  Also, are there any other "maimstream" shows where a Domme or Dom has played such an intregral role in the story?

I think that Lady Heather is a wonderful character in that the show doesn't make her out to be some sicko. They allow her to be a complex character (i.e an actual human being) instead of plastering up some sterotype of a prodomme. So I say kudos to CSI.

Yes it is refreshing the "reality" of her character....Like it was pulled from the profiles off of CM!.....(Domiguy rolling on floor...giggling and laughing so hard he poops)  Yep...No sicko's out here! (Domiguy wiping tears and snot off of face...tries to type...but no strength)

out.

Sadly the other shows in the genre, L&O and it's million offshoots, usually show the negative and nothing in the way of positive.

Outside of Melinda Clarke's wonderful portrayal as Lady Heather, I have yet to find a dominant as a regular on a show. The ones I've seen in passing I've just wanted to slap.

Then there are some episodes on The Shield where Acevada is with a hooker who gives him the rules for the rough stuff . . ."you can pull my hair but not out, you can hit me but don't bruise". There are also other dominant themes with other characters such as a boot on a neck saying "I tell you to suck my dick, you say 'Do you want me to lick your balls daddy'", or another scene where Mackey sticks a gun in a girl's mouth and essentially tells her "You're my bitch now and you're gonna do what I say." Fun stuff, very powerful, and IMO makes all the CSI stuff seem lame.

And the CSI with furries is what made me start watching- I don't understand furries, myself, but the fact that they handled it even-handedly made me respect the show.

Also, Carmon's mother is a domme lady, there's a scene briefly showing she doming the school counsellor (what's his name...). somehow I think the creator of south park probably is borderline lifestyler or something.

I had a heated debat with my best friend (who's also in the lifestyle) whether Grissom is a subbie boy or a dominate, although I love Grissom...I eventually admit that he's probably a subbie boy...and he would make perfect match with Lady Heather.

I will continue to hope that William Peterson is on a short break while he does a play, as stated.  I hate the new guy, he is a dud.

No wonder CSI is so popular.  I am into the classics.  If there is a Domme in that program, count me in.
I have also noticed a lot of mainstreem commercials featuing whips, spanking, and that type thing. Makes you wonder.
