Because I am tangent-ridden once more.
- No, a boy who has been raised to be tough and manly in the traditional American sense of it is not going to shy away from using various interesting derogatory names for female characters.
- John Carpenter's Vampires is on now and I am reminded of several reviews when it came out about how utterly lacking in female characters it is (and they're all vampires or whores) and how all the insults used by the main characters are all either of the slut/tramp/bitch whore end or of the fag end. Oddly enough, they're characters in a very similar situation so yeah, the Winchester boys really are practically angels in comparison.
- This, in turn, reminds me of a really interesting article on bbc.co.uk back during the last go round of how do we solve a problem like prostitution. It featured interviews with three men who frequented prostitutes, and mostly they were saying how they liked that they didn't have to go through the usual societal/female faff to have sex. Sound like other people we have been talking about.

Other points:
- I was saying that I don't like myth-arcs and Twig drew a really important distinction between spooky, supernatural, conspiracy minded ones, and normal story arcs. I like the latter, and the one on Chuck at present has got me hooked.
- That being said, of the new TV shows this year, Chuck is the one I like the most, because despite being silly and unrealistic as all get out, it's the most fun, it does things brilliantly well, and I'm in love with half the characters. No, make that 3/4s of them. They're so fun.
- Also, why do I not have at least twenty different PWPs feature the two actual agents, and at least a similar number of ( SpoilersCollapse ).
