I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

I feel this way about when Mycroft isn't Mycroft and is Mark Gatiss instead. He's still totally keen but he isn't mmmmmmmmm, Mycroft.

Yeah, there's no real aura of creepy dangerous power around Gatiss. He could impress you with his brain, but not kill you with it.

Also, Gatiss is adorably cute, with an equally cute husband and at least one absurdly cute dog. So you just kind of want to pinch his cheeks and let him ramble about horror movies. Where as Mycroft is... you know. Mycroft.

This Mycroft could wander into an episode of MI6 and be totally at ease. And everyone would be freaking out as he passed by.

The asbestos crew is all gone, and my furnace is naked for the first time in 80+ years -- as clean as the day it came off the assembly line in 1900, perhaps?

Tomorrow the new furnace gets installed, and the newly-cleaned old one gets hauled off for scrap!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I didn't know that Mycroft was played by the showrunner--very cool. I love the fact that they keep on slipping in references to his weight (since book-Mycroft was extremely overweight) and kept his aversion to leg-work.

This Mycroft is actually a bit too skinny. As if he's rather manic about his weight.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK! I wrote an update I had forgotten about, wrote a letter I hate, and updated the database. Now I have to make hated phonecalls, unless I can convince myself that email is OK.

I also turned down a date for tomorrow because I got a better offer, and apparently I am that bitch.

Jesse, you can't be two places at once. You had to turn down something. You had two offers and accepted the one you preferred. Even joking, why call yourself names?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well, I actually accepted the first one and then cancelled, which I do think is bad form, but meh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
