The meme rules are: you list all the characters in your icons in alphabetic order, and then go down sticking the first two together, and then the next two, and so forth. And then you . . . um . . . talk about them.

Aziraphale/Crowley
Well duh.

Giles/Gollum
Oh dear. This makes my head hurt.

Hermione/Jack Harkness
Oooh. I can see this. Providing Hermione was of age, o'course. Huh. Actually it would be kinda hot.

Jack Sparrow/Illyria
Um. Heh, he'd be willing to give it a go, I bet.

Minerva McGonagall/Pippin Took
This is just wrong.

Susan Pevensie/Tom Riddle
Um. Yeah. They'd be about the same age. Both in London. Both pretty. Heh.

You know what I like best about Supernatural? (Other than Dean, of course) The darkness and the grit of the sub-culture of hunters. It's very much a Western in that respect. Gunslingers after Gilead fell, giving aid and succor but never being anything but outsiders. Or maybe not. I'm still catching up, but that's the sense I get from it. ETA Not that I am saying the show's themes are DT-esque. Just in a romantic imagery kind of way. First impressions. I may be insane, but it's what springs to mind.

Also, the use of 80's metal in the soundtrack kills me. :-P

You know, I never thought about it that way, but it makes a lot of sense.

(I ... tend not to think about this show; this is probably a bad thing, considering the fact that I'm, y'know, one of its main characters in Milliways. Um. I plead intuition?)

Giles/Gollum is my new OTP.

"My precioussss"

"Yes, yes, but about that Armageddon..."

I can get the Western part, I think.

But--I fail to get the Gunslingers of Gilead part.

I think it's the back knowledge of Season 1.

The--themes of the series are very very different from those of DT.

Uh. For everyone.

You'll see.

[vivien]

I didn't mean it was thematically DT. ;) I just meant in a romantic way - the man in black crossed the desert and the gunslinger followed. That way.

[batyatoon]

The themes are very different, but they're related -- and the character dynamics have some truly fascinating parallels. And some even more fascinating departures from parallels once they're there.

[vivien]

Yes, that's perfect - parallels. Not similarities, per se, but parallels.

I suppose just jumping into the second season, I was whomped over the head by sacrifice,'remembering the face of your father', and the not quite good guy-ness of the hunter sub-culture. So yes. Parallels.

Dude. Dude. Someone WROTE Jack Sparrow/Illyria. I thought I saved it to my memories but I can't find it now.

It was interesting.
