Oh, man, Rory's was definitely intentional. I was rolling with laughter on the floor, and my roommate at the time had no idea why.
Taking note of the little things is what drives fandom a lot of the time, I think. Writing fic based on expressions during scenes, trying to make all the fiddly bits fit together in a way that makes sense...it's the best part. I noticed the salute thing, but not enough to double-check all the instances until you put this post up, and now I'm all pondery about it. A course in Visual Images and Lit. sounds really cool (And as a media studies student - TV is art! Painting is media! Tear down the artificial barriers that separate them! /may have wanted to take an English class for my major and was turned down)
Salutes everywhere! As far as the eye can see! \o/
