Smallville/SPN Questions

[lettered]

So, I don't normally watch these shows, but people on my flist talk about them, and for once I was free on a Thursday evening, so I thought, hell, why not. So I watched them, but because I don't know all the history and stuff, I had a couple questions about them.


So . . . Lex was gay with a love/hate complex ever since he was a wee little thing?

and


Is the theme of this show always incestuous brothers?

Well, yeah. I was not trying to belittle SV--think that brings a lot to the verse.

Though if I wanted to the advocate of the devil (I do not have an apostrophe that is why I am talking so) I could point out BSG only references Greek gods and the signs of the Zodiac and it does alright. However I do not want to be an advocate of the devil. I do want my damn apostrophe, though.

I forgot how you were at Winchestercon and have not even seen SPN. I totally concede.

Ah, you mean the punctuation apostrophe as opposed to the rhetorical one. I got confused for a minute. *g* Do you mean that key is no longer functional?

I'd argue that BSG references *way* more than Greek mythology. Considering the aftermath of Vichy France and what happened to supposed collaborators--have you seen pictures of what they did to the women? OMG!--the last episode held a lot more chill and terror for me because of that knowledge, how I could relate the episode to our own history, what atrocities human beings are capable of in the name of "justice".

Hee! I am a puffy bag of fandom!

periodically my browser has been knocking out the use of my apostrophe, my slash, my back and forth arrows, and my cut and paste. No idea what the deal with it is.

Well, I agree with what you say about BSG's references. I just meant that SV is *directly* based on something like a canon.

That's an awesome icon.

I have to credit _eb for the awesomeness.
