-- I kind of wish War had been played by a woman, but the "Hey, It's That Guy!" they got to play him was so amazing I can't bring myself to complain much. He was just the right amount of charming, bloodthirsty, and sly.
War as a woman would have been awesome, but the naive, pipe-dreamy part of me wants Famine to be played by a woman as a sort of sly commentary on fashion and the whole size Zero thing. She'd be a skinny supermodel diet mogul that runs a weight-loss program that women use to starve themselves to death, but no one calls her on it because the pressure to be thin is so overwhelming in our society. Besides, it's not like she FORCES the women to abide by her program. Power of suggestion, baby. :D
But...I doubt SPN would go that deep into Feminist issues, SO. ^^;;
