Huh, SG:Atlantis had similar skeevy sex issues with that one (or two?) episodes with Richard Kind playing a guy who gets women to sleep with him via a magic potion. This was presented as fun and high-larious, and not like date rape via roofies like it actually was. From what I remember from fansites, etc, the producers of the show could see no problem with this and thought fans who protested were overreacting.
It was not treated as severely as you wish it was, but he was treated as a bad person, an unlikeable con artist who got some form of just deserts at the end of both episodes.
Indeed. Kind’s character didn’t stop to think about just what he was doing, but the protagonists never approved of what he did.
