@thomas_klopf I need to write one containing my logical proof that "Alien" is simply a remake of "Beowulf".

@thomas_klopf @gurple Anything jamming Gilgamesh & Enkidu into an absurd setting would be of interest to me: an "Odd Couple" reboot, another "Starsky & Hutch" remake, "The Good, The Bad, The Heroic, and The Monstrous", "Dr Gilgamesh and Mr Enkidu", whatever. But again, as fortold by the prophets, it's DNS.

@thomas_klopf @gurple Assuming that Gilgamesh/Enkidu slash fiction has existed since the earliest cuneiform versions pressed into clay tablets, but that really isn't my cup of fermented barley.

@thomas_klopf @gurple Ah! Now, by threatening violence and degradation unto my browser, I can read an excellent analysis, unprotected by TLS. Yes, by considering the first four chapters of the saga (in release order) I do see a clear analogy! (Although I still suspect, of course, DNS)
