I thought this was a super interesting analysis of Spock and Michael being a rare case in Sci-fi/Fantasy or Myth where the sister's life is not sacrificed to the brother's. Hope some of you enjoy it. I love her use of The Dead Brother's Song as the lead in. “He turns the clouds into a horse, the stars into a bridle, 
 and with the moon as company he goes to bring her back.”
