But those are all before the young ones' time, too.

She was a huge fan of the TV show when she was younger. I used to teach a unit in my college comp courses about the changing versions of fairy tales (helps teach critical analysis), and it never failed to surprise the students that there were multiple versions. But that's one of the deficits of moving to a non-oral storytelling culture: the print, and now filmed, versions stay the same -- they don't shift and change from teller to teller, generation to generation. Young people today understand remixing, but even with remixing, there's the understanding that the original still stands as it ever was. The notion that your new version now becomes the "standard" version to be carried on, and probably changed itself, by future generations is harder for them to see. some article about the Bones Halloween episode indicated that Emily Deschanel insisted on doing the Wonder Woman spin.

"You sometimes vary between devious and good. You have the power of telepathy and turning into a diamond substance. Attractive, wealthy, and sometimes a teacher!" Isn't the male lead(guy who played Angel) dressed as Clark Kent on those commercials? I've never seen the show before but may check it out that night, Hmm I’m Emma Frost, hich kind of scares me lol!
