That is a very tough sport, especially on the knees. Back at Sacramento State, I got to know several of the women's team members somewhat well. One of the toughest girls on the team was rather a girly girl. Had a naturally very young face, and always always always wore either a pink or school colored bow in her hair. Cute but killer. I love that combo. Don't need to sacrafice one for the other.
I have a ex who was girly as they come, but she would beat the fucking hell out of everyone playing hockey.
To answer to OP. It is because they are productions run by executives that care about the bottom line and they prefer a mediocre movie with a mediocre profit then something truly memorable (Original Star Trek any one?)
Incidentally I just finished watching a episode of BSG, and I think roslin is one of the most interesting characters I can think of in any show.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
