Random late-night poll

[lotesse]

brought to you by my tendency to plunge back into obscure childhood fandoms when faced with schoolwork. I've been reading in The Dark is Rising, and I keep finding fic that labels Bran as an albino, either in narration or in dialogue. And it keeps hitting me as incorrect, somehow - though I've no idea why. So I'm putting it to you all.

And if he is/is not, how on earth does that intersect with the Evil Albino trend that's been running these last couple of years?

It's been running for a while! I remember an "evil albino" in some TV show in the 70s, ferinstance. Maybe an ep of Incredible Hulk?

Bran had golden eyes, didn't he? So, not albino.

[lotesse]

Yep, she calls them hawk-like. And I'm beginning to feel like the Evil Albino thing will never end!

I wonder when the first instance was? Would TV Tropes tell us? Who wants to volunteer to dive into the seething, entrancing whirlpool that is TV Tropes? :)
