Summary
Review and Meta on Angel the Series - Season Finale Episode - Not Fade Away
Compare to classic westerns - The Wild Bunch & Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
"Ah Angel…it’s over. My last episode review ever. A moment of silence. Okay on to my review. The ending did not surprise me nor did it disappoint. It was much as I expected, the Wild Bunch ending with a touch, possibly more than a touch, of the charm of Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid."

Summary
In the Wire - we have a sociological study that reminds me a great deal of the sorts of studies that Kozol may have conducted back in 1991, where an ex-cop, a couple of teachers, and a sociologist select ten kids from the school, ten trouble-makers, and discuss with them their issues and what they want to be when they grow up. All of these kids are making money as junior drug dealers on corners.
They are corner kids, working the corner. They are in some cases the bread winners. All have dreams of a better life, but many don't see themselves living past the age of 18 if that. The Wire casts real inner city kids in these roles and to a degree just lets them rip. The effect is a type of scripted social realism that borders on documentary but isn't.- Language:

Game of Thrones Meta: The Power of Telling Stories (Review/Meta of Game of Thrones S2, E3 - "The Power of Stories") by shadowkat

Summary
We live in a world without magic but stories...stories that we often forget the power of. How they can hold us, take hold of us, captivate, and control us. Bewilder, befuddle, and alter perception. Stories are who we are. Where we've been and where we are going.
We are in the end nothing but the written and unwritten stories on the fabric of time and the woven tapestry of existence. Stories are the most powerful magic there is.
