Statue Twilight Sparkle is doing an excellent job at keeping my other new gifts organized!
As an added bonus, she's keeping Cadamr sequestered until I can return her to her original author. (Cadamr growls) Now, Cadamr, I'm sure that Caddy-shack will be around soon to pick you up. You should have known better than to go after Tribble-eunuch like that. It's scared half to death! (Tribble-eunuch whimpers) There, there, Tribble-eunuch. Go play with the airhorn.

PLAAT! PLAAT! PLAAT!
Maybe play with something else.

Are Wamblers territorial? Or carnivorous? It's starting to eye my new tribble-eunuch in a way that's saying I'll need to keep them apart.

If you're going to watch Adventure Time, I'm not sure where I should tell you to begin. The first season is where all of the characters started off, and it sets a great tone for the crazy awesome land that they live in, but it's around Season 2 that it really started to develop. One of the show's strongest points is its characters, and a lot of Season One is testing the waters. When it hits, it's incredible. When it doesn't, we get bits like the Ricardio the Heart Guy episode that are just sort of confusing. (Though I'll be the first to say that his return in Season Four was epic.)
The show itself is one of the rare programs that has a great sense of humor but doesn't turn around and call attention to it; it's just part of their world, and it shows up everywhere. The background for the land of Ooo and the more enigmatic characters like Marceline is revealed little by little, through episodes that you wouldn't even realize were linked until after the fact, because info-dumping wouldn't be much fun at all, would it? (Take notes, practically every other show. They're right with that idea.) There's great dialogue, massive amounts of creativity, and constant subversion of the expected that makes the show enormously exciting and interesting to watch, and it's the first show in a long time that got me genuinely excited to see returning minor characters.

... Ahem.
That turned into fan-gushing really quickly, but there's just so much that I like about it!
Writing this made me want to watch Mortal Folly/Mortal Recoil again. I'll be back in half an hour.

1. My best pony would also be Twilight, partially because her social awkwardness and obsession over small problems relates to my own personality, and partially because out of all the ponies, she's the most interesting to watch in new situations. You mostly know how the others will react; Pinkie will produce bright colorful objects from nowhere, Rarity and Rainbow Dash will try to impress everyone, etc.(not that any of those are bad, mind you), but Twilight could do any of a half dozen things and still be perfectly in character. (Discord, due to being the essence of chaos, does this as well, but it's treated much differently in a contextual sense, and he's not really a pony, is he?)
   
   2. It depends on what mood I'm in. If I want over-the-top space antics, only TOS will do, but TNG is better in terms of overall character and episode quality, even if it does occasionally devote entire episodes to backstory. I've only ever seen two episodes of Voyager; one was really good, but the other was really bad. Either way, I don't have enough information to make a real opinion about it.

Ugh, sorry about the default title, everybody.
I was planning on a Pseudo-Witty Title©, but it was too long for the title bar, I deleted it, and I forgot to replace it with another one. Having no edit button is something I will need to get used to.
My "This post is not as good as it could have been" guilt easily quintupled when I saw that. Well, at least I'll be able to find my intro thread more easily with the search option. There can't be that many mistakenly untitled threads, right? (hears the IO chuckle)
Oh, grob, what have I done?

I've read the Original Series, as well as easily a dozen of the spin-offs, and they're awesome. I read a few OFUs, too, but I gave up on that bit since none of the ones I read were ever finished. It's too bad; I liked them, especially the Redwall one.
I went on the PPC wiki already, and I even made a few edits there. Of course, since I forgot to log in, one of the admins said "Who is this anonymous person editing the Minis page?", and removed some of my changes, which is another of those things that I feel silly about in retrospect.
I first found the PPC when browsing TvTropes. When I went to the page, I saw the link to the Original Series and started reading it. It was, to reiterate, awesome.
I have to warn you, though, I will not be nearly as adept at Tolkien canon as a lot of the rest of you are. I'll probably still be able to identify unreported badfics for it though, if I need to. Sue traits are universal, after all.
