my take on it starts from the premise that the creators' interpretation is the only correct one.
Yeah, whereas I'm all "authorial intent, piffle." I suspect it's the years of being an English major.
I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Oh, and I didn't know anything about this spinoff, and I don't think I'm pleased. For one thing, I'd have been just as happy to forget that Ray ever existed. And as cool as Gene Hunt is, I just don't know if it's going to work, putting him in a new context.
Hmph.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
y'know, I'd fallen waaaay behind in this thread. I come back and the first however-many-hundred posts are SPN W&P. I haven't been watching it this season, so I skipped and skimmed like crazy.
Perhaps a more appropriate title would have been Let The Flailing Begin!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm totally down with the authorial intent of LoM, although it took a while for the impact to sink in. Unlike Jon, I do believe that while suicide is never the happy ending, it's sometimes the least sad. Sometimes there is no way to make everyone happy, and he prioritised himself. However, he was also crazy by that point, I think, or perhaps just running scared. Why did his subconscious create such a violent and primal take on his day job for him? Why did it demand he excise that violence before waking up?

I like the flailing, but we are more than the flailing.
