Homer does rock!! And Virgil too! And all the tragedians (including the Roman ones)! Tacitus wrote the best prose in the whole world. *nods*

Good point about the Zeppo.

I suppose I've never really seen the disgruntlement with the last two seasons as particularly mainstream - rather an extreme sector heavily divergent from the 'average' response. Chosen being the exception to that, because I rank my own disgruntlement much higher... ;) I generally take it as the Scoobies being extremely insular, but then I've never gone anywhere with that thought, just whinged about it, so that's definitely something to think about!
