I wasn't taken in by anything, after watching the episodes and the movies
and developing my own ideas of what was going on, finding that on the web
made me kind of mad because it single handedly destroyed what I had seen in
the series.  However, if you must know, I wasn't so sure it was authentic,
and whether it is or not, there is A LOT of sexual activity and innuendo
going on in the series, so I wouldn't be surprised if that was originally
the intent.
