I got Batman (the 1966 TV show) on DVD at Christmas. The entire series. I've watched the first eight episodes with my dad, now. And legitimately, I think we need to have a renaissance for this show. It's actually really dramatic sometimes. One of the best examples might be the episode with George Sanders as Mister Freeze. George Sanders makes some nice cold puns, but he also delivers many menacing lines. He was an evil scientist who batman accidentally threw a freezing solution at, and now he wants revenge. The warm winds of summer kill him, stabbing his jaw like hot flares of pain. He wants revenge! And he really feels like a bond villian or something. George Sanders just went all out, and that still impresses me. He brings out a german accent, gets some fun monologues, and even adam west gets to play a dramatic batman feeling shame over hurting mr freeze. It's stunningly melodramatic.

But it's also so sweet and domestic with the Wayne Manor scenes. Bruce, Dick, Alfred and Aunt Harriet... it's pretty much a weird extended family living together, and it's charming. It's so charming, and I think that no other Batman media successfully hits these high notes of charm. I can't say it enough: Adam West and Burt Ward might be the best Batman and Robin. This show could have run for 9 seasons, and I don't think I would have ever tired of it.

In the Lynes portrait, Lancaster sits facing the viewer at a table on the left; occupying the picture's right side is a wooden chair with a curved back. Closed louvres behind Lancaster shut out sunlight and render the interior dim. Lynes shot from a dis-tance, allowing the viewer to see the actor's feet under the table. What gives the image its power is the actor's face receding into shadow, distant from the picture plane. Still visible is the sensual open mouth, ready to take a cigarette, and the actor's steady gaze, with its sense of withholding. Lancaster gives nothing away, making his allure a mystery and a challenge.

 I got me an idea Will. You don't mind if I call you Will, do you? What's in a name? That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet.

Imagine a transgender Severed worker

What if a severed trans person woke up on the table and instantly knew what gender they were, even if their outie hadn't quite figured it out yet? Maybe a trans man wakes up in that elevator every day wearing a skirt and blouse and desperately hopes one day his outie will figure it out soon and stop wearing stuff that's so dysphoria inducing.

Or what if that's why they're severed in the first place? Mark severed because he wanted to get away from the grief about his wife, maybe there's a severed trans woman that did the same thing. Maybe she decided to undergo the severance procedure just so that for 8 hours a day she wouldn't have to be in her body anymore, someone else would. God it would suck if she was doing voice training but her innie didn't know how to do that, so she wouldn't be able to practice while at work.

Maybe there's an outie that knows they're nonbinary, but their innie doesn't know because the Lumon handbook doesn't mention anything about more than two genders, so their innie is just stuck feeling really weird about gender and not knowing why or what to do about it.

Idk if Severance ever explore this kind of thing but I'd love for them to somehow

I get that Burt x Irving is supposed to be Severance OTP even if Burt is (potentially) as married as Mark Scout is to Gemma Casey…

But was anybody else suddenly struck with the potential of Irving x Dylan? "I'm your favourite perk" had no right to hit me with the 💘 feels like that.

(…though as I assume the series is still going to go ahead with OTP -- was I the only one thinking we should just hook up Burt's "hot husband" with Mark W? Okay, fine, I guess I am the only one out here coming up with a viable solution. Dylan at least would be proud of me.🫠😌)

Gothic fiction offered the one semirespectable area of literary endeavor in which modes of sexual and social transgression were discursively addressed on a regular basis. It therefore makes sense to consider the ways in which gothic fiction itself helped shape thinking about sexual matters – theories of sexuality, as it were – and create the dark shadows of the dominant fiction.
