AMC's Comic Book Men is a ratings success in its post Walking and Talking Dead time slot, but it still gets flak. One of the oft-cited issues with the show is that by the very title, it represents an obviously outmoded way of looking at the comic book industry. To wit, women are flooding into the comic book field as readers and creators and already make up about 40% of the potential audience. Perhaps to reflect the wider audience—and to add a different look from the generally middle-aged white guy cast members—the show is putting out a casting call for women to come in and sell their geeky items for the upcoming fourth season. CBM has become a geekier Pawn Stars/Antiques Roadshow (as so many shows do) so this is a great chance to sell those Yogi Bear jelly jars* you've been hoarding all those years.

If you're not a devoted Game of Thrones watcher, please move away. Sean T. Collins has a post about the recent rape problems on the show that kind of echoes what I'd been thinking. Basically, that the Jamie/Cersei rape scene wasn't necessarily a fatal misstep, given that we don't know where these characters are going...but the problem is that it probably wasn't meant to be a rape scene by the producers, a view supported by the confused interviews they've given about the scene in question.
