'The Balance of Red & Blue': Color Symbolism in context of Fate & Free Will in Season Five

[zimshan]

So, apparently I’ve been out of school for too long and had the urge to write a paper? Who knows…

This thing got ridiculously massive very quickly, I blame it all on Serge Ladouceur for making me all thinky. I want my brain back, Serge

AH!! YES! You know, I almost emailed you to verify, 'cause I knew you'd know dealing with icons for so long, but then I ran out of time. But that's fantastic that you've thought so as well.

And I'm SO glad you found that this all made sense! And that you enjoyed the different caps. I had known there was a lot of red and blue but when I started putting them into a separate folder, I realized I had NO IDEA just how much. I had like 256 caps at the end. Obviously I didn't used even half that but the only way I could begin to organize it was to divide it up into sets, props, lighting, and shots like that. Nice to hear it was effective!

And YAY! I'm happy the Fire/Water thing rang true for you! I just adore the contrasts the show employs with the two, and this gave me the obvious chance to delve into that, so it was fun!

I wish we could get Kripke talking about this, man. It'll be awesome.

RIGHT? I'd love for them to go into how they've broken down the psychology of the boys, because it's remained remarkably consistent over the years. And actually, I would give my right arm to have SOMEONE interview Serge already. The man just got promoted to producer last year! He's gotta have all sorts of thinky thoughts to say.
