Something to think about: Bechdel
I'm thinking of doing some on-going meta, and wondered if people wanted to join in. We all talk about the Bechdel test, and whether so-and-so show passes it, but that test is easiest to apply to movies, less so to TV shows. So I'm going to be perverse and apply it.
Over the next however long, I'm going to be doing a re-watch of TV shows, sometimes the entire show, sometimes just a season or two, and applying the test to each episode. Then each season will have a percentage score of how many episodes pass the test. Anyone want to join in on this? I think it would be a really interesting experiment.
Another thing that I found fascinating is - does a similar test exist for characters of colour? Because I'm not sure the same shows would pass that particular test...
