WHONIVERSE FANS. You have failed me! I realize that many of us (including me) tend to overlook SJA. I am very guilty of this myself. I've seen a handful of SJA episodes and enjoyed them all, and yet I keep failing to watch the whole series properly.

But guys, the Doctor was in the latest episode. THERE CAN BE NEW ELEVEN IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW.

[ETA: OH MY GOD THAT WAS HILARIOUS AND AMAZING. And I totally am shipping Jo Grant/Sarah Jane right now. SO HARD. THEY ARE SO ADORABLE I DON'T EVEN.

ELEVEN! I MISSED YOU! COME BACK NEXT WEEK!

Also -- oh, Rusty. That had your fingerprints all over it. You mean people are sad when their heroes get killed off for no reason whatsoever? WHO'D A THUNK IT.

This is almost as exciting as the fact that I finally figured out what song to use for Festivids.

Speaking of children's shows, I've been mainlining Avatar: the Last Airbender lately. Have finally got to the first Toph episode, which is nice because everyone talked about her so much and I was curious. And, yes, okay, this show is kind of amazing. You win. Katara kicks much ass, as expected, and Aang is...not my favorite, but it's not his fault he's a twelve-year-old boy, and other than that I like him. Zuko makes my heart flutter in ways animated characters really shouldn't, and also I feel like such a stereotypical fangirl, but whatever. I kind of randomly ship Zuko/Katara? Which I know is stupid, because Katara and Aang are clearly True Love Destiny etc etc etc. And they're cute, too. I just can't get over Aang being twelve, it kind of squicks me to imagine him in any romantic connotation. Eh, whatever, SO not the point of the show. WHICH IS AWESOME.

AND I LOVE SOKKA SO MUCH I KIND OF DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF. He's all snarky and sarcastic and sidekick-y, but he absolutely kicks ass despite having no magical powers, and it's really nice to see that you don't need to be special in any way to be loyal and brave and AWESOME. Especially with the power of snark on your side. Which isn't to say he doesn't have utter asshole moments -- hello, teenage boy -- but he generally learns from his mistakes and becomes a better person for them, and Katara is always there to kick him down a notch when he deserves it. SO WE'RE ALL GOOD.

Sokka: How did you guys get out?
Aang: Just like the legend says. We let love lead the way.
Sokka: Really? We let huge ferocious beasts lead our way.

SOKKA ILU FOREVER.

...yeah, this is what happens when I have a whole evening to myself. Wacky fun.

XDXDXDXD A:tLA!!!! I just watched the show for the first time myself a month-ish ago. I love them all so much, it is rather made of WIN. Also? The sequel that's coming out next year, I think, is going to be sooo awesome. ::does happy dance of joy for full-on Steampunk::
Also, I needs a good A:tLA icon....
