Amazing meta. I love the discussion of literary devices, and the statistics table was great! The whole 'debate' really is just a misperception. I was one that saw this apparent inequality, and wondered, but now I see just how vital they both are. The same thing about Sam in AVSC and Mystery Spot happened to me too - I marveled at how Sam-like wee!Sammy was, and was very creeped out at the cold, hardass Sam in Mystery Spot.

Again, wonderful work! I do hope the rest of the season will provide a rich field to meta some more in. :)
