Fandom is drama. Fandom is melodrama. Fandom is high school. [...] Fandom is smarter than you. Fandom is stupider than you. Fandom is five arguments over and over and over again. Fandom is the first time you've ever had them. [...]

Fandom is love for characters you didn't create. Fandom is recreating the characters you didn't create. [...]

Fandom is signal and response. Fandom is a stranger moving you to tears, anger, laughter. Fandom is you moving a stranger to speak. [...]

Fandom gets no work done. Fandom is too much work. Fandom was/is just a phase. Fandom could never be just a phase. Fandom is where you found a friend, a sister, a kindred spirit. Fandom is where you found a talent, a love, a reason.

Fandom is where you found yourself.

"I'M BRILLIANT. MORE MILK, MORE MILK! NOW SCOWL, I WANT FIERCENESS. GROWL AT THE MILK! HATE THE MILK! GRIMACE! I'M SUCH AN EPIC ARTIST I SHOULD JUST CHOP MY EAR OFF NOW"

-- ifyouweremine channeling the photographer of that video of milk being "flung suggestively" at Zachary Quinto X-D

...you'll have to watch it yourself. I recommend the "I'm Too Sexy" alternate soundtrack. (The milkshake thing is overdone, really.)

Mr. Spock [...] holds the valid belief that he shares a bloodline with Mr. Holmes. The relationship at first seemed easy to explain; While Mr. Spock exhibits the physical characteristics and upbringing of his native planet Vulcan, he is in fact half human. His mother, Amanda (neé Grayson) was American, but the name Grayson is of English extraction.

[...]

[T]he Graysons can only trace their family back as far as Professor Jeremy Grayson of Boston in the year 2045. Spock cannot know, then, that his mother's family tree includes a Holmesian branch. At this point, we have eliminated one possibility: the only other one, that Spock gets his Sherlockian ancestry from his father's side, must by Spock's and Holmes' own rule be true. But this is an audacious possibility, because we know from Spock's World that the marriage between Spock’s father Sarek and Amanda Grayson was the first interracial marriage between human and Vulcan, and that genetic engineering was needed to produce Spock. If Holmes was Spock's ancestor, then, it follows that Holmes was a Vulcan.

--Scott, David M. "Sherlock Holmes: Visitor to a Small Planet"

Not only does Spock descend from Sherlock Holmes, he's related to Dick Grayson, twelve years old >=D Oh wait, actually it's not a good thing to share Nightwing's genes.
