avrelia pointed it out to me, and I now have to share...The Cat in the Hat Came Back (eventually)
From the description: I read a recent criticism of the Moffat-era of Doctor Who being a glorified version of The Cat in the Hat, to which I couldn't help but think...well...."duh".
:D

Would you believe it, but I have an icon of that? ;) (I got Kathy to make it for me, and the text is from the Captain's Blog...)
Seriously though, I think that moment was when I began to get properly interested in the show. Not just because of Teh Slash, but because of how. It was a moment of staring at the screen and going 'Did he just say what I think he said?' (I am SUCH a sucker for subtle stuff... Also, fanfic has supplied A LOT of ideas as to what you might do with a stop watch. *cough*)

Nooooo . . .

*nods* Reminds me of a bit of BSG when the president of humanity and the head of the military got high together at a big "thank the gods we're alive" party and ended up cuddling all night in a field (and, lo, the shippers were happy *g*). But anyway, the really great part was how they did it because it wasn't particularly obvious what was going on. Basically one of the "kids" came up and was talking to them, all oblivious, and they're there trying to hide this joint behind their backs and suppressing giggle fits. And all the fans afterwords were like "OMG, did you see that? Did I make that up?" It was *awesome*.
no subject
I am as shallow as a puddle, because that single fact has made me far more keen on BSG than anything else I've ever read... (Not that I know much apart from the very basics, and half my flist flailing behind cut tags for a few years. *g*)

Love/hate relationships is one of those things I can't ever resist... Here's a prime example from very early in BtVS:
Buffy: I hate you!
Spike: And I'm all you've got.
(Icon is in honour of the fact that apparently Spuffy BROKE TV!)
no subject
I don't know if you could call it proper love/hate past the first season, but it is half-acknowledged love with constant, brutally serious disagreement and an utter refusal to allow the love to get in the way of KEEPING ALL OF HUMANITY ALIVE OMG, which is perhaps even better than love/hate.
Plus, if that's too cheery for you you can always take a break for the delicious hate/hate of Roslin/Baltar anti-shipping!
Buffy: I hate you!
Spike: And I'm all you've got.
Hee!

Really? *is suitably impressed*

Yeah, I've heard rumblings...
but it is half-acknowledged love with constant, brutally serious disagreement and an utter refusal to allow the love to get in the way of KEEPING ALL OF HUMANITY ALIVE OMG, which is perhaps even better than love/hate.
Mmmmm. Count me in! (Why has no one EVER mentioned this. Don't they know me at all?)
Really? *is suitably impressed*
The anti-Spuffy crowd decreed it so, and the 'shippers happily embraced it! :) (It was a whole big thing - possibly a kerfuffle - way back in the day. Can't remember the details, but I'm very proud!)
no subject
\o/ Perhaps they were worried you would implode from the SHEER AWESOME?!?! (In seriousness, though, do save it for when you have a nice chunk of time because that thing about shows being able to eat your life? Battlestar is the poster child for that X100. I watched the first two seasons in, like, a weekend--literally not sleeping.)
(It was a whole big thing - possibly a kerfuffle - way back in the day. Can't remember the details, but I'm very proud!)
I can well understand it.
no subject
Now that's the thing about having a family - it is very hard for anything to eat your life completely. There are too many complaints. ;) (Not that I'd know where to get it from, although I could probably borrow it...)
I can well understand it.
OTOH I'm very glad I never found Buffy fandom until the show was over. People are still traumatised. (I'm sure I've mentioned this before. Just ignore me, I'm going to bed!)

Hats on Matts!
Hats on Matts and cats in spats.
Cats in spats and wigs on rats.
Wigs on rats in cars in flats.
Cats in spats on Matts in hats.
*hem* Sorry. Obligatory outbreak of Dr. Seuss.
No? Very well then, Mr. Moff, sir. Let's have a little talk about tweedle beetles . . .
no subject
Have I mentioned recently how much I adore you?
(Although don't bring tweedle beetles into it. It's IMPOSSIBLE to read.)
no subject
(But 'Very well then, Mr. Fox, sir, let's have a little talk about Tweedle Beetles' is the greatest transitional sentence in the history of literature! *nods* Also, I will freely admit that a large part of my love for Fox in Sox--at least compared to other Dr. Seuss--is that I *can* read it quite well and therefore get to show off *buries head*)
no subject
Heh. Someone called me a [Buffy verse] fandom great yesterday and I didn't have a clue what to say...
But 'Very well then, Mr. Fox, sir, let's have a little talk about Tweedle Beetles' is the greatest transitional sentence in the history of literature! *nods*
Oh I'm not about to argue!
Also, I will freely admit that a large part of my love for Fox in Sox--at least compared to other Dr. Seuss--is that I *can* read it quite well and therefore get to show off *buries head*
*is impressed* And don't go burying yourself - I know most of The Sleepbook off by heart, since Miss M loved it when she was little.
