This is a pre-emptive post because I’m probably not going to be around tomorrow afternoon to properly monitor the goings on over at

f_march_madness. But it’s looking like Dana Scully and Dean Winchester are going to be facing off and I want to get this out there now.

This isn’t about how great Dean Winchester is, this isn’t about how he cries the manliest of man tears or how he’s snarky and likes pie. He’s cool I’ll admit it.

But this is bigger than him. This is about respecting history. This is about realizing that without The X-Files there would be no Supernatural. This is about a tiny, red-headed FBI agent who stood by her partner even when she thought he was nuts, who killed monsters while wearing heels. This about an insanely intelligent, brilliant woman who made it okay for each and every one of us to be the gigantic nerds that we are.

This is about being ten years old and turning on the television week after week and seeing a competent, strong, badass of a woman perform autopsies without flinching, whip out her gun and face a baddie twice her size, and still make time to challenge her partner's craziness even when she knew it was going to be a thankless job. It’s about a woman who worked in a man’s world, existed in a man’s genre and owned every inch of it.

This is about Dana Scully.

( Cut because Scully's awesomeness requires many words... )

I’ve been mulling what my fannish life will look like in a post-Lost world. This mulling usually leads to wailing and eating too much chocolate. But no more. I know where I’m going after I find out what the freaking island is, after I get my coffee date, after I see Charlie Pace one more time (that’s going to happen, right?), after everybody leaves their keys on the table…wait, wrong show, whatever after it ends you can find me at Greendale College.

I have seen the promise land my friends and it looks like Joel McHale. Join me under the cut for a mature discussion about how Community is the greatest show in the history of the world and how if you’re not watching it I feel bad for you because there is a hole in your fannish heart and you don’t even know about it. But mostly for spoilers for tonight’s ep.

( Community! )

Also there was an Office baby. I appreciate The Office's commitment to realism, but the thing is if you tell people the truth about what it’s like to have a baby no one is ever going to do it. This episode kind of scarred me for life. Spoilers under the cut.

( The Office may have triggered an existential crisis. )

Finally, I’ve realized two things:

1) Dean and Scully are going to end up going head to head. In other words, shit just got real. This is personal now. I swear if he beats Scully I will flounce off the freaking internet. I will not live in a world that chooses Dean Winchester over Dana Scully. Hell, if there was no Dana Scully there wouldn’t be a Dean Winchester.

2) It’s very likely that Juliet Burke and Loralei Gilmore will have to face off. I can not vote in that race. It’s like the universe is conspiring against me. I won’t choose. You can’t make me.

Why am I taking this so seriously? I’m going to have an ulcer before this all over with.

Oh God, how am I already going crazy over this? Oh right because fandom is already making bad choices. Listen universe when you are asked to choose between voting for a panty sniffing bad poetry writing attempted rapist and Buffy freaking Summers you vote Buffy. How hard is that? Or you vote Cordy. Or Fred. Or Willow. Or Dawnie. Or if you must vote penis, vote Oz or Charles Gunn or Xander Harris or Rupert Giles or anyone who is not a panty sniffing bad poetry writing attempted rapist. Damn it Spike, you are not winning this.

Also? Barney Stinson. Seriously? Seriously? He picked up a girl right in front of his ex the day after they broke up. He used her to pick someone else up. This is not cute. This is not adorable behavior. This is asshatery. This is gross. This is wrong. Don’t vote for this guy. There are four other people on this show who are actually legen-yes I’m using his own catchphrase against him-dary. A vote for them is a vote against an immature douche bag. A vote for them will save a puppy. A vote for them might very well save the world. Do it.

And finally: Sawyer is winning by one vote. Sawyer is not undeserving, he’s a good guy. Hell, I like him. But Sawyer doesn’t want you to vote for him. When you vote for him you ruin his street cred. He doesn’t like to be liked, he doesn’t respond well to it (see faked kidnapping/gun snatching plotline that went nowhere).

Sawyer wants you to vote for Juliet. The woman he loved, the woman that made him a real boy. He wants you to vote for the woman who always had his back. Who detonated an H-bomb because she thought it would get him home. The woman who faced the smoke monster and didn’t blink. Who will make you sandwiches with toothpicks. The woman who eats ice-cream after sex and will perform an emergency appendectomy to save your life. The woman who listens to “Downtown” and reads Stephen King novels and speaks Latin and is made of awesomeness and rainbows.

The woman who made him happy.

Remember that fandom. A vote for Juliet will knock that emo-frown right off Sawyer’s face. And I know you all want him to be happy, right?

Oh and in the SPN race, vote Bela. Just because.

March Madness starts tomorrow! This is me being excited. Lost fans get ready to vote, we are always crazy underrepresented. The prelims open tomorrow and I’m personally pulling for Juliet, but I will happily support whatever Lostie makes it through to the next round. (And yes this is probably all I’m going to talk about for the next two weeks, but you guys this is serious business.)
