The Ginger Snaps movies were about a female werewolf as one of the two main characters.

Spoiler tv has the Official Casting Call for The Hobbit.
The title says that there are plot details in case you wonder about spoilers.

The second 'snaps' features the aftermath of the first. Namely, Ginger's little sister's journey. The third is a 'prequel' that covers the historical origins of Ginger's affliction.
There is something about the way all three were made that just makes me happy. They are, on the face of it, super-cheesy. But there is something deeper to get in all of them. And the snarky dialog is worth the price of admission, regardless.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Spoiler tv has the Official Casting Call for The Hobbit.
Apparently OneRing.Net (can you believe they're still around? Then again, so are we) said it's false.

Really?
That's too bad because I was happy that we'd get to see Radagast the Brown .

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I had forgotten about Veruca. That's right. Nina seems to fall into the category of "victim this bad thing happened to" which is less metaphorically interesting to me. (This is where I once again bemoan that I can't reference Buffy to Todd, as he hasn't seen it. It is particularly frustrating as the show in question is so clearly from a post-Buffy Universe, and a lot of my ability to feel the rhythm of the plots and have a good idea of where they're going comes from that.)
I have all these thoughts on views of the feminine Id and cultural takes on sexuality vs. violence as primal urges that quickly turn into babble.

Now I'm really curious to know which show you are talking about DebetEsse. I'd be happy to have that discussion!
