I had breakfast the other morning with a friend from high school who I haven't kept in touch with, and we were talking about new tv and I mentioned I don't like Glee. She said, "Yeah, I've read a lot of criticism about how they casted an able-bodied actor to play Artie, among other things." and I was like YES.

Yay!!! It's so easy to expect defensiveness from people and so great when it doesn't happen.
