Something I've always wondered . . .

Poll time!

As a fandom, we agree that "Connor James" is a thinly veiled reference to Keanu Reeves.

Right?

That never crossed my mind, and this is the first time I've ever heard anyone suggest it. But hey, whatever does it for you. ;)

It jumped out at me at the time . . . when Brian says, "It sounds like you've had a most excellent adventure." Since Keanu Revees's first big role was in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. That made me think about it, and I decided that's almost certainly what the writers meant. I do love a good mystery. ;)

In 2004, coming just off the Matrix trilogy, I think he would count. At least as much as the other real actors' names they were suggesting to star in Rage: http://www.qaf-fic.com/qafscreengrabs/qaf4b/pages/qaf4-14-016.html

I think Brian was implying Justin had an excellent adventure, not that it had anything to do with Keanu Reeves...

Yeah, I doubt that any such thing was intended either. But I suppose you never know. After all just because it doesn't seem like it to me doesn't mean anything. Who knows what really went on in the writers' heads.
