Avrelia was thinking. Run untill it's too late!

It came to my attention that Buffy fandom has an inordinate amount of lawyers (future, past, and present) in it.

I can think of three possible explanations:

1) I notice them (birds of a father and all that), and they take a prominent position in my mind, but not in reality.
2) The amount of lawyers in the fandom represents proportionally the amount of lawyers among the general population.
3) The fandom attracts freaks of nature.


What is your opinion?

(Can you believe I have half-written post about similarities between Angel and Ilia Muromets, and Wesley as Dobrynya Nikitich?)

Very cool! I love AtS, but I don't have much insight into the Angel/Wes dynamic... otherwise I'd help you. Do you have a candidate for Alyosha? Damn, now I'm tempted to read that again.

No, I don’t. I tried to find someone who fits Alyosha’s image, but then I realized it wouldn’t work. May be I noticed the parallels exactly because I haven’t read byliny for a very long time. But with Angel and Wes it sprang to mind unexpectedly, and fit nicely (allowing the difference between Old Russian epic poems and American TV series). I went as far as bringing a book from Moscow about byliny to see why these similarities might work, of course, now I have no time to read it.
