james_davis_nicollThat's a grossly simplified summary of this entry over on resolute's LJ. Go read it.
If I were David Brin, I would use this as a springboard to show how this mean Veronica = Civilization and all that is good, whereas Buffy = the shadowy menace of irrationality. Note that Veronica and her father's snoopiness clearly is a metaphor for the Transparent Society.

Re: SPOILERS FOR SEASON TWO
Date: 2006-09-25 07:56 pm (UTC)Like I said, I think it's just a genre thing. If you tell 20+ crime stories a year with (mostly) the same cast, most of them will end up doing a crime eventually.
It's the same principle by which most superheroes, at some point in their careers, go evil and/or come back from the dead.
