Old news: lj is dead. Everyone is crazy busy, or they have other reasons not to be here. No one has time to read those huge meta posts we used to write once upon a time. But maybe we can all find ten minutes to do this:

There's no way I can do this whole topic justice but there's a couple of parts of it I want to focus on.

(1) I wrote, a long while back early in S3, a post about how the werewolf gene is a fantastic metaphor for the cycle of abuse, and I'm really impressed with the show for how well that still stands up two seasons later. And for all their differences in temperament - and there are a lot - all those issues still apply to both of them. I'd actually argue they're a really interesting study in nature/nurture: if they'd had their respective formative years in situations that weren't abusive, OR if they'd grown up in such circumstances but not shared the werewolf "gene," there's very little they'd share. But they did, and that's enough to pit them in this shadow-self relationship
