PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"So are all the literary allusions..."
part of the solution or are they just the call signs of pretensious writers?

Those I have noticed so far:
Jim A. Prufrock - Taken from the poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by TS Elliot. The first episode also quotes this poem.

A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L'Engle - The population of Push's rigid schedule and carbon copy quality seem to be taken right from this book

Peter Pan - For obvious reasons

What's the deal? Have I missed any that others caught?

1. "literary allusions"
I have read and re-read the Elliot poem and am still not sure how it fits.

I haven't read "A Wrinkle in Time" is it good?

2. "RE: literary allusions"
I loved "Wrinkle in Time". I used to read it to the fam while we were driving in the car when the church we attended was 40 minutes away. We read many books this way inlcuding many by L'engle.

3. "RE: literary allusions"
"A Wrinkle in Time" was fantastic, along with the other two books of the series that I read: "A Wind in the Door" and "A Swiftly Tilting Planet." Those books were like the Harry Potter series for me when I was much younger.
I'm not sure of the relevance of the poem either. I don't know if they quoted it to reinforce the name (Jim A. Prufrock) and hint at clues in the poem or if it just a red herring.
