I agree with the general sentiment of the piece, but i hate the accusatory implication that is pretty much implicit in calling it "male gaze". They really didn't know how to write any of the characters at the beginning of the show. (The pilot had the two main characters play essentially the generic nerd.) It took them a while to develop all of the characters.
