"I am outraged!"  Jervis exclaimed, pointing a finger at the TV.  "Simply outraged!  Why, I have half a mind to write a letter to whomever wrote this programme!"

"And half a mind's all you ever have, Jervis," Jonathan commented dryly.  "Really, no need to get up in arms over this."

"And whom, may I remind, was fuming over this same channel's remake of the Wizard of Oz?  Who, as I recall, was upset over his 'archetype of fear being forever associated with some effeminate zipperhead'?  I have every right to my rage now as you did to yours then."

Jonathan sighed, putting his head in his hands.  "And what is it, exactly, that you object to?"

"He's scruffy."

"Scruffy?"

"Yes!  Unkempt, disheveled, scruffy!  Not a proper way at all for a hatter to look.  And his hat….don't get me started on that undersized wisp of a hat.  A hatter should have a proper hat!  A noble hat!"

"A hat like yours, perhaps?"

"Precisely!"

Jonathan facepalmed.  "I assure you, Jervis, that the perception of hatters is unlikely to be affected by this program.   It's mostly geeks who watch this channel, anyway, as evidenced by the person who recommended it to us: Eddie.  Now stop pacing and sit down!"  He grabbed the back of the shorter man's shirt and pulled him back onto the couch.

Jervis sighed.  "Oh, I suppose…I just can't help but feel…miffed at such slander.  Then again, that aside, it is a lovely program.  The actor playing the white knight was quite good…and the idea of teas that produced emotions…."  He rubbed his hands together with glee.  "Just think of all the ideas this could spark!"

And again, Jonathan sighed.  This was going to be a veeeery long night…
Slash if you squint...

Born out of my wondering what Jervis would think of Syfy's new 'Alice'....

Awe man. It shows how out of touch I am with the tv world. I don't normally watch television, but I'm positive without even seeing the show, this is how he'd act. (Hmm...I don't think he'd like the Tim Burton one either.) I love all your stories! :D
