Surgoshan:
Helen of Troy was an obvious reference. Everyone and his kid sister knows about Helen. And since the movie came out? Please!
If she wanted to sound smart (or if Jeph wanted her to sound smart) he should have had her refer to some other fought over historical woman.
Guinevere comes to mind.
hanalways:
Um, I don't think the whole point was her to sound like she knew obscure references to history, just that she could use history in clever responses.
But yes, if her whole point was to make references no one would understand unless they had wiki in their browser, then she should have used Guinevere.
Vendetagainst:
Surgoshan, why are you upsetting the WCT people?
They are people too.
Mr. Skawronska:
I'm not upset. I'm amused.
I especially liked the Medea reference considering she went mad after Jason scorned her.
I giggle at how parallel the reference is, and wonder if even Faye recognizes the similarity beyond the obvious.

No, he's absolutely right. If you make a reference that anyone around you understands, then you LOSE AT REFERENCES. :lol:
