It's IBARW! When it comes to deep and thoughtful posts - of which I have seen a ton of awesome ones this year already - I think it is probably better for me to shut up and listen and read, and which I am very much doing

eeeee!

Perhaps I must see this show you speak of! Well all these shows. But The Middleman is the one I mean!

[bookelfe]

I would not actually recommend all of these shows necessarily . . . but The Middleman I would! Completely wholeheartedly! Not only is made of adorable hilarity, it passes both the Bechdel and the one that doesn't have a name so far as I know but where two characters of color talk to each other about something that isn't a white dude!

The Middleman

Fun fact: The Middleman actually took a step away from whitewashing. The show is based on a comic book, and Wendy's character in it is white.

I'd heard that, though I haven't read the comic book - it's one of the many, many reasons I love the show. :D (I love that once they'd cast Natalie Morales, they actually fully committed and worked it into the storylines, too.)

This is a well-done post. I approve!

[bookelfe]

:D I am glad!

People tell me that Wendy is actually me, but if I were on TV.

I may need to watch this show.

[bookelfe]

Oh man Merc you so, so very do. I suspect it is 110% up your alley, and to prove it, I simply invite you to examine this Wiki entry!

[mercuriazs]

... Touche.

[lady_ganesh]

This is a great post! Especially the summation. :D

[bookelfe]

Thank you - I'm glad you think so! :D (I am still kicking myself that I did not think to include the lady in your icon as well while I was throwing up my first five. JESSIE.)

[lady_ganesh]

But that way you included some people I did not know, and that was win!

[bookelfe]

:D :D :D

I am keeping my fingers crossed that other people will do this too, and then I can find out about people I don't know either!
