Last week saw the release of the third Twilight film The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, which, not surprisingly, turned up huge numbers at the box office. Yes, the fans are loyal, but there's one thing that divides them: which side they are on, Team Edward or Team Jacob.
Recently, I was invited by Geekosystem to participate in a feature where they asked prominent geeks [their words] to chose a side -- Team Edward or Team Jacob -- and explain why. There was also the option to remain neutral, but I took that to mean that you were unable to decide, not that you didn't want to decide. So, I picked a side.
Unlike some of my fellow participants [I'm talking to you, Warren Ellis], I took my assignment quite seriously, even though I wouldn't consider myself a fan of the Twilight series (although, I'm not a 'hater' -- I, of all people, can appreciate obsession [hello, Star Wars/Star Trek]). Since this issue is being debating worldwide and has been popping up all over the news (no, seriously, look), I thought it time that I address it.
I can't imagine there's anyone left on the planet that doesn't already know the story of Twilight and what Team Edward/Jacob means, but for the five of you out there, before I delve into my argument, here's the deal (oh, and SPOILERS) so far...
