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.
Buffy: I was regrouping. Spike: You were about to be regrouped into separate piles.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

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

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!

Bonny, Being Human. Season 2 starts shortly, so we're reviewing Season 1.

Debet, do you want to take the conversation over to Boxed Set where you can have it without spoiler font?
FTR, I think the male werewolf in that story is just as much a victim--in fact, incredibly victimy, more than Oz or Veruca ever was. At least to start out.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Yeah, if we're going to get specific, that is the place for it.

Nina seems to fall into the category of "victim this bad thing happened to" which is less metaphorically interesting to me.
Well, generally speaking, the majority of werewolves fit that description, whether it be a curse or a bite. Whether the victim embraces the condition or not after the fact, I don't think I've ever seen a character seek to become a werewolf (where there are definite examples of that when it comes to vampires).
