Argh! No fair, no fair!

I've been dying to see Warrior Queen on PBS since they first started teasing me with it months ago. So there I am at 9:00, tape in the VCR, finger on the record button, sugary snacks at hand... and up on the screen pops Madame Mall-Hair from the local PBS station, explaining that there will be no Warrior Queen tonight. No, it had to be sent back and "reedited for content," and instead we're getting something called Almost a Woman, the heartwarming story of a young Puerto Rican girl's coming-of-age in 1960's NYC. Aw, that's nice. I want Alex Kingston killing Romans! I want Boudica! No fair! Gimme my warrior queen!

There should be a mood icon for "throwing a childish tantrum," though admittedly that's a bit unwieldy. Hmph.

Ah, that's a pity. I was hoping either for quality, since I generally like Alex Kingston and the glimpses of it in the ads were okay, at least, in that Gladiator-esque way of "not quite it, but good enough and there are so few options," or for high Xena-style cheese. But it doesn't sound like either bill was filled. What a pity.
