The Poster Boy for *what* now?

[krossero]

Okay, I just read another story that has Jim as the poster boy for 'gay America'.  What has me cracking up is that just an hour ago, I read one that calls him the poster boy for straight America.

So, question #1:  Which do you think is more accurate to call Jim a poster boy of, gay, or straight America?

Question #2:  Does it bug you when a theme or a phrase like this is re-used in fanfiction?  Personally, I love to see everybody's take on different things.

Question #3: What other repeated things like this have you noticed (I can think of a few), and do they annoy you, or do you like it?

In the official script 'Sentinel' is capitalized and I do it that way sometimes, sometimes not...you wouldn't use a capital letter for 'soldier' or 'cop' after all. 'Guide' with a capital letter I don't use as I'm not wedded to the idea of 'guide' being as much a defined role as a sentinel. I do enjoy fics, usually futuristic, where it's accepted that Sentinels and Guides are genetically special, and it's okay there, but I can't see canon Jim in his head thinking of Blair as 'my Guide'.

'Shaman' is more likely; it's what Jim called Incacha and it's how Blair referred to himself. Brackett's the only one who (obliquely) put that label on Blair.
