Notes
There
is
perhaps
no
television
genre
with a
more
avid
fanbase
than the
fantasy
genre
. The
popularity
of
shows
such
as
Doctor
Who
(Wright
,
2007)
,
Supernatural
(Wheat
,
2009)
, and
Buffy
the
Vampire
Slayer
(Newitz
,
2006)
may
be
explained
, in
part
, by the
commonalities
with
mythology
from
world
religions
. In
fact
,
one
could
argue
that these
shows
are an
evolved
form
of
modern
myth
.
Common
themes
found
worldwide
in
many
mythologies
include
temptation
,
redemption
,
transformation
,
sacrifice
, and
resurrection
. These
themes
,
while
prominent
in
mythology
, also have
connections
to
psychology
. These
connections
may
help
shed
light
on
why
the
five
aforementioned
themes
are
so
common
in
mythology
.
