Well, I just stopped looking forward to the Sarah Connor chronicles.
I mean, it's like it's designed to play into every bit of feminist image theory of the last two decades -fragmentation, infantilization, vulnerability, objectification.... Admittedly, one of the earlier posters is somewhat better, but even there the subtext is "stare at the Uber-Mother's crotch (and breasts.)" I'm not exaggerating - look where your eye goes. And the 4th images conjures up abuse victim imagery.
Sigh. I had been looking forward to this show, but these posters are seriously distasteful, and not just because it's River from Firefly being objectified sexually.
