Quote from NPR's pop culture blog (that I actually got from themiddleblog) -

The Middleman: Follows the Bechdel Rule so well that it was the reason we began talking about the rule here at NPR. Mind-boggling: It's science fiction — that traditional fortress of geek-maledom — but the character we identify with is a young woman. (And an artist.) She talks to her roommate about art events, vegan protests and their mothers; they're concerned with politics and creativity as well as boyfriends.

themiddleblog is the lj of the creater/writer of the comic. It's quite interesting, and in some posts he lists the namechecks by episode.

( Fic )



( Picspam - not particularly spoilery )



At the TV show website you can create your own Middleman avatar or several.


Oh dear, it's one am. How did that happen? My rambling about ships and spoilery picspam post will have to wait til tomorrow.
