BSC blather.

So, was anyone going to tell me that the graphic novels were making Logan Bruno decidedly not white or was I just supposed to stumble across that on the internet for myself?

I have mixed feelings on this. On the one hand, you do you, boo. I am woefully behind on my graphic novels (and I'm currently pissed as fucking shit at Amazon for unrelated business) but it does kind of pose a problem.

Jessi's intro storyline leans heavily on the fact that Stoneybrook is shocked, shocked I say, that Jessi's family is black in their very, very white community. Logan not being white (to say nothing of the background characters there) kinda means this shouldn't be a thing... but it's also very much part of Jessi's story. So. Whatcha gonna do, books?



Finally, where the hell is my Netflix BSC show? I have been waiting impatiently for what feels like forever! Kristy Thomas would never keep me hanging like this. :P

I think they rushed Mal in when they thought they only had the order for 4 books...but at this point they should just add Jessi in since they're not doing every single book. Why not have her be in this book? She and Logan could be new together.

The Hannie thing confuses me it's like...there are blatant clues that they are Greek mainly the LAST NAME an already diverse character should not be the one you re-diversify.
