Welp, I am def watching #TomSwift today 👀

And at least one part that's both--Tom collapses crying on the shoulder of his bodyguard who clearly ADORES him and equally clearly has NO idea what to do with this--just sits there like a large alarmed tree. #TomSwift 5/6

I devoured the #TomSwift #books as a child - the science fiction of my youth 6/10 #VictorAppletonII

And yeah it's a CW show, so there's the occasional dialog clunk. But y'all Tom is a CHARMER, and he has fabulous clothes and fabulous tech toys and fabulous abs. And there are parts that are for real funny and parts that are genuinely moving. #TomSwift 4/6

I did spend half the first ep waiting for them to explain how Zenzi was a family nickname for Josie before remembering that #tomswift is in no way connected to Riverdale

And he is not the lone queer rep! There is a hot trans man pansexual bodyguard, and yes that is all spelled out not hinted at! (and played by a trans actor!) #TomSwift 2/6

Finally getting a chance to watch the first #TomSwift and--I'm not a doctor, but is it HEALTHY for someone to be made entirely out of charisma? Like doesn't he need some organs in there or something?

oh DANG I didn't realize #tomswift was already cancelled. That sucks--I've really been enjoying it!

Okay more thoughts on #tomswift ep 1! I was braced for the network to be like "main character is gay but he's coming off a bad breakup or something so we have an excuse not to show any ~icky~ actual contact" but NO he is out there DATING and SMOOCHING 1/6

My excitement for this series knows no bounds. The cast is rich both in continuity && in melanin.

Decoding #TomSwift

* Ashleigh is gorgeous and I cast her in all my novels in my head.

And the voice of Barclay the AI is just a DELIGHT. Seriously y'all it's FUN, check it out if you haven't! #TomSwift 6/6

It makes him sound like it does.
Mid and late Boomers may
remember #TomSwift books.
I dunno.

And he is also not the lone Black rich guy! He's shown as part of a network of extremely upperclass Black people! This seems... good?!? (totally old-white-lady perspective here, so: take with several canisters of salt) #TomSwift 3/6

Okay in #TomSwift "and the benefits of bondage... in the trial where he had to make it thru the obstacle course without getting paint on his clothes there was, uh, a *simpler solution.*
