Siegfried (6x3)

: 05, 2011

It's been 20 years since Wotan sent Brunnhilde to bed without supper... By now, the twins' baby Siegfried has grown up, never gone to school, can barely write his name in the ground with a stick, and he's never known fear, which makes him seem more brave than stupid. He sets off to do manly things and have manly adventures, like killing his guardian, slaying a dragon, stealing the Ring, when he sees a rocky summit that's on fire. What's up there, he wonders, so he goes to check that out, and finds Brunnhilde. They fall in love. He doesn't know that this is his grandfather's step-daughter, which makes her his aunt. His very favorite, special Aunt, if you catch my drift...
