The Adherents of the Repeated Meme

[mrv3000]

Say everything you know about those of your friends' fandoms that you know only through fannish representations, rather than through ever having watched any.

Supernatural: Two brothers have sex. There may be ghosts involved.

Heroes: People have powers. Also, the ex-Doctor has powers as well as lots of hair.

Rome: Hot men in togas. My guess is you'll see some lions. And grapes.

Smallville: Superman: the teen years. And apparently Lana is The Pink Devil.

Friday Night Lights: People watching, playing and talking about football. Possible jock strap sightings.

Deadwood: Cowboy-type people riding horses and saying "fuck" a lot. Everyone in dire need of a shower.

Am I missing anything? (And I may have cheated by being exposed to an episode for a couple of these.)

Side note - am semi-busy this weekend so not sure how much of the DW vid will get done. Still trying to decide if I want it to be 100% S1 or S1 and S2. It's *not* a ship song, but rather just a "hooray for traveling!" song. Sorta. ;)

Oh, they do the nekkid thing? What am I saying? It's *HBO*. Of course they're running around nude. :D

Of course. With the slightest excuse. Which, considering the setting, isn't exactly hard to find...

And it's equal-opportunity nekkid, although it tends to be tilted toward the nekkid male side. Not least by the remarkable frequency of the Purefoy full monty...

Okay, I quickly looked up Purefoy because I had a sudden fear that Purefoy was that announcer/narrator dude. And...

*blink* You mean the guy who stands in the Forum and declaims the news? Eeep.

Nope, as you said, it's HBO. They've mostly stuck with stripping down the hot stuff.

Now that I think about it, the male/female ratio was a bit more balanced last season. But we're pretty sure Polly Walker is pregnant, hence no nekkid Atia, throwing everything out of whack...

Yeah, I think that's the one. :D

Poor boys have to get cold all on their own.

And for some reason...

They're also inordinately fond of the F word this season. Much moreso than before.

*wonders about the historical accuracy of the use of 'fuck' in Roman times*

With the understanding that they're actually all speaking various class-based dialects of Latin and we're only hearing English? Probably pretty accurate.
