This feels like quite the warm welcome! Wow I wasn't expecting this. I appreciate both of your posts. To respond to Major Gripe here momentarily, yes Blackadder can be considered pop culture(also doesn't that show share it's name with a snake? I can't remember if it's poisonous or not but I'm pretty sure that snake is native to Europe as well. Don't quote me on this it's been a long while since I've studied this stuff. Also I love your Shelley quote! As for Tuesday Pajamas your summary of Star Trek was fabulous! Couldn't have said it better myself (No. Honestly I couldn't. I suck at articulation.)
Moving onwards now! Some pop culture comparisons I thought of yesterday were Harry Potter and DC comics. In Harry Potter I can't quite think of specific characters they resemble but I can think of the houses they belong to. Penny would probably go to Gryffindor while Sheldon(although he has the huge potential to got to Slytherin) would go to Ravenclaw. As for DC comics I'd like to think that Penny is kind of like Stephanie Brown(on of the batgirls) actually, or maybe a little like Dick Grayson. I would say she resembles Dick because they're both pretty charismatic in whatever group of misfits they choose to hang out with and both seem to be the people with all the heart when it comes to batman(or Sheldon like he like to claim). Then again that seem to be the role of every Robin and batgirl. Be the obvious heart of Batman. Stephanie is also a comparison that comes to mind for Penny because she's someone who has been through her share of bad relationshipsor experiences and yet still manages to find something like the will to keep going an keep smiling. That, makes me think of Penny quite a bit.
