Hey, if an Israeli actor can play Hispanic characters (Resident Evil) and white trash characters (Drool), I suppose Spanish actors can play Jewish (Son of God) and Persian (Alexander) characters.

Pretty much. Moorcock made me more aware of what I was seeing. "Hmm, pretty blond human people under siege from swarthy inhuman masses. And our rescuer is white in white on a white horse? How is this NOT a Christian Allegory?"

Depends on how you read it. Some say Judas, by virtue of being born red-headed was a vampire. Ergo, the kiss in Gethsemane was actually a bite, and the Resurrection is ciompletely explainable.

I marathoned the first three seasons, 3-4 eps at a time, while I was writing a post-apocalyptic biker novel.

I watched about 8 hours of season 2 last New Years. My older son had left for the army and I was refusing to get out of my recliner. I spent the whole day knitting and taking restroom breaks when I had to change the DVD. I think I mainlined about 6 eps of Season 2 Supernatural while trying to finish an afghan.

I did. Homophobic church. Child molesting uncle. Abusive stepfather. Stultifying small town. It's all in there I have friends who call the first 1/3rd "Angel's religious issues, let her show you them."

My favorite: Luke Skywalker is Obi-Wan's son, not Anakin's. Leia is Anakin's child. Anakin believes Luke is his, a lie perpetrated for Luke's safety. They're siblings (I refused to accept twins in 1983 and refuse it now) from the same mother by different fathers.

Depends on the religion. Not everyone's religion says having sex is a bad thing. While in others, sex is a horrible, dirty, depraved, evil act that you should only share with your chosen spouse. And not every religion is structured. (Pagan Standard Time is a thing)

I facepalmed the first time I heard that argument. I'm still facepalming.

Sometimes "idiot plot" is the only term. If the characters weren't massively stupid, the book would be over in 20 pages. Most of The Walking Dead qualifies as idiot plot.

Mine just sort of died. I don't know why. But it did it at the worst possible time. We had a flat tire, on the wrong side of Birmingham AL on Labor Day. (Worse, i lost all my DragonCon pics)

Also google "arrested for miscarriage" and Personhood Amendments. Look at the sheer NUMBER of these laws and listen to what some politicians are saying.

I find it interesting that much of the South is still orange. the places that have any green are cities, usually with universities in them: Fayetteville AR, Nashville and Oak Ridge TN, Huntsville AL. I live in one of the deep orange counties (Just up the road from Lee County, I used to deliver auto parts there) and…

I worried about getting a prius. My husband and I are both 6' tall, and have a pair of 6'3" sons, and a wide-hipped daughter. But it turned out to be very comfortable, with adequate room for everyone. Not much power, but 53-57 mpg, and no gas burnt while stuck in construction zones helps. It can do up to 80. (shh, he…

Somehow, riding backward on a goat strikes me as less threatening and more a very poor way to get where one is going. We modern witches still like our brooms. I'm old and creaky, so have upgraded to a carpet. My daughter is still a teen daredevil and prefers her flying roomba.

And your gang looks awesome.

Gotta be Flash.

Because a five-pointed razor boomerang to be caught barehanded can only compete with a cyclops, a polygamous Liam Neeson (a very young one) and bizarre monsters wielding laser rifles.

"I'm invisible, can't you see that?"

Oh that will be good. Jonathan is several kinds of awesome.
