I saw Cady Heron wearing army pants and flip flops, so I bought army pants and flip flops.

There was a time, not too terribly long ago, when I did not love fantasy TV. I know, I know, that sounds so weird coming out of my mouth, especially because I'm some kind of Doctor Who evangelist these days. I mean, I spent all day Saturday watch the BBC America marathon twice. But I only started watching fantasy TV because I had to recap it for work, and for the first six months I bitched about it pretty much non-stop. (Sorry, Ashley.)

And then I met Gwen Cooper.

She was the sexiest, funniest, Welsh-est, alien-crime-fighter I had ever seen. Plus, she wore red Converse to save the world.

I got myself some red Converse.

And then I got myself a full-on obsession with fantasy TV.
