Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If, however, I had a student that tried to use the text to prove that Shakespeare was a Scientologist

See, that's about intent, and my line excludes that. I'm comfortable with discussing the text as a tract that supports Scientology -- but to say that Shakespeare was one gets into what he may really have been feeling/meant.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

What about I Spy?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

It makes watching reruns of the original Dragnet lots of fun. "Come on, Sgt. Friday, just hug him already!"

"Just the facts, ma'am."

"But the subtext is smacking me in the face!"

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

If, however, I had a student that tried to use the text to prove that Shakespeare was a Scientologist, I would try to talk them out of interpreting the text that way. Because it may be supportable, but given the arrow of time, it's not a valid interpretation.

But didn't Xenu blow up the volcanoes 70 million years ago! Shakespeare so could have been a scientologist! now I'm pulling your leg.

I'm kinda now intrigued about the Radar piece, "The Passion of Tom Cruise."

Oooh, good one to pull out. I don't think U.N.C.L.E. counts as I never got the feeling that Illya and Napoleon were pals. That may just be my unfamiliarity with the show, though.

Ha! I just went to IMDB to find out dates of the movies/TV shows just mentioned, and for reasons that are no doubt very specialcoincidental, a search for "Starsky & Hutch" also brings up "The Real Story of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1993) (V)".

I never felt the slash in I Spy, and I don't remember enough about Butch and Sundance to have an opinion.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
