giandujakissTo everyone who commented at the vidder love meme. Work is ... a new and special kind of hell right now, and your comments were greatly appreciated. I feel very loved :-).
And on a completely different note,![[livejournal.com profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sol_se sent me this article that talks about how the reincarnated V does away with the bisexuality of Diana in the original series.
From my perspective, Diana's sexuality was always sort of troubling - it made her an incredibly vibrant, impossible-not-to-watch character, but at the same time, it was clear that we were meant to read her voracious sexual appetites and her bisexuality as additional signs of her evilness. Still, whatever message the creators hoped to send, the reality was, every young girl who watched that show wanted to grow up to be just like her.
