They said this in the Merlin Confidential. Oh YES coz Merlin now has a Confidential which is totes WIN WIN WIN !!

Especially THIS BIT.

So my Merlin love is alive and kickin' ! It was for me the highlight of last week's teevee and I am impressed by how fast it could win my heart back ! It's just the cutest, most charming show ever and I love it in all its silly and cracky glory <3




So basically...

( Merlin 201 - The Curse of Cornelius Sigan )




The rest of last week's teevee didn't disapoint either and all was good and entertaining.


( Glee 1x02 - Acafellas )


( The Office 6x01 - Gossip )


( Supernatural 5x02 - Good God Y'all )

I know everyone's been psyched about the preview for next week which is why I refused to watch it. I can't wait to be completely delighted on friday thursday, though :)

I'm also finally up to date with Gossip Girl and enjoyed the season 3 premiere.

( Gossip Girl 3x01 - Reversals of Fortune )


OMG this week so many more shows are returning ! I can't wait for the 2 hours premiere of House, I'm biting my nails for the Criminal Minds premiere, I'm extremely curious and excited about Dollhouse season 2 and I'm also happy for the returns of How I Met Your Mother and the Big Bang Theory. Another great week for telly, I hope !

Last night's Emmys were disappointing, no surprises there, but here's the single awesome bit :



I can't wait for Dr Horrible season 2, which is bound to happen Y/Y/Y/Y ?


To conclude :

I went home to an amazon package, babbling "let it be Merlin" over and over while I ripped it off and guess what, IT WAS OMG.

So I have now seen all the extras (haven't listened to the commentaries yet) and I have a few things to comment on :

- I'm glad we had some footage of that crazy crazy cast prior to their big break, running around in french supermarkets (to be honest, I am really hoping them to be this unknown by the french public next year, then we'll be only 5 fans over there stalking the set, yes.).

- Bradley isn't perfect afterall, he has very bad skin ! I find that discovery quite soothing for some reason, eh.

- Angel seems completely adorable, I loved the bit about her and Bradley bickering on the streets of Pierrefonds <3

- Bradley is a Buffy fan, which made his first encounter with Anthony Head a bit awkward, bless.

- Eve Myles coming on to Bradley in her old witch makeup was ftw XD

- ANTHONY HEAD NOT BEING RECOGNIZED ANYWHERE HE WENT. Right how did that work exactly ? BECAUSE THE MAN EXUDES AWESOMENESS. RIGHT IN UR FACE.

- I found Colin Morgan rather hot in these extras, wait, what ?

- Bradley has awesome spider catching skills, I was IMPRESSED.

- Boys, the practical joke was cute but it would have been more effective if your sentence had made sense in french. *pets*

- BRADLEY BEING A DORK, IN GENERAL. It looked like it was his default mode, WHICH IS NOT AT ALL ATTRACTING ME TWICE AS MORE, NO. *is doomed*

No I am not Merlin squeeing 24/7 I had some things I totally forgot to write about because no, I am not Merlin squeeing 24/7 *coughs*

So first of all, let's talk about Alias season 3 ! I had stopped my Alias marathon 4 episodes in because I had a sudden urge to rewatch Kaamelott from the beginning, which is so not related to That Obsession in any way.
Right, so I've started Alias again and despite the obligatory suspension of belief that is necessary to go through the show starting with this season and my burning hatred of pre!evil!Lauren (which I didn't know I still had) IT IS TEH GREAT !

And speaking of the awesome list of classy guest stars the show had, I totally remembered the earlier ones like Quentin Tarantino, Roger Moore, Faye Dunaway, Ethan Hawke, Rutger Hauer and Christian Slater but I had completely forgotten about David Cronenberg and Isabella Rosselini in season 3 ! Of course by this season I was WTFing so often that I didn't remember much of the plot either. I also completely blanked out Quentin Tarantino's comeback but then I remembered him going on and on about the prettiness of Sark's hair and I was all "OMG HOW COULD I FORGET THAT SCENE WHERE HE COMPLIMENTS HIM ABOUT HIS HAIR. THIS IS SO AWESOME". And of course Lauren stopped being annoying the second she started killing people and making out with Sark.
All of this to say that Alias season 3, compared to monstrosities commited by other shows is 200% superior to the memory of fail I had of it.
It's a bit ironic really, since this season's theme is about memory loss, lulz.


So apart from the lastest episode of Merlin WHICH WAS MADE OF 57 FLAVOURS OF WIN, saturday has been a mighty fine fanturday indeed for the highly entertaining values of Quantum of Solace and the ABSOLUTE BRILLIANCE that was the end of Dead Set.

Quantum was admitedly less good than Casino Royale but Daniel Craig is definitely the Hottest Bond of Them All simply because his version is all kind of fucked up. There's nothing more appealing to my eyes than a character with huge psychological and emotional issues and he was the main interest of the film ( cut for mild spoilers )


I watched the finale episode of Dead Set with jedicathy and angeliksmall and I must say that as a whole, this series left me impressed ! I was expecting a vaguely cracky but average zombie story when I first started watching it but I was surprised by how great the writing and acting ended up to be. It even got a great review from zombie expert Simon Pegg (apart from the nitpick which I found very cute ♥) !!!1!!11
I also did not expect them to go there for the ending and I was immensely pleased by it. Bonus points for the Doctor Who mention in the penultimate episode <3


Speaking of I am in love with the Doctor Who series 4 soundtrack ! All the songs from Turn Left are particulary brilliant, especially A Dazzling End which reminds me vividly of Donna's finest moment everytime I listen to it (OH DONNA.)and I also adore Song for Captivity and Freedom because it never fails to give me chills.
I also love the VOTD suite which is a bit lulzy since I despise the actual episode.

It really brings back nice series 4 memories and makes me want to see some episodes again.



Now to make my post title not accurate in the least, I should also thank tya_rc for pointing us to the failed pilot of Dis/Connected which we also ended up watching on saturday night.Why ? Well not for the fact that the pilot in itself is complete rubbish, but for the only reedeeming quality which is ( THIS )


That's right, IT HAS BRADLEY JAMES PLAYING A HUGE MANWHORE WHO SHOULD REALLY BE UNLIKABLE BUT IS BOTH HILARIOUS AND HOT AS HELL INSTEAD. ILHIM SO HARD. Thank god it was never picked up though, THANK GOD FOR ARTHUR.

Oh and it also has Clyde from sja as an obnoxious chav who turns out to be A GAY INNA CLOSET. THIS WAS A BIT WIN AS WELL.
But the rest sucked and there was not enough of the both of them. Incidently, I seem to have kept it anyway. x______x


I've also capped the hell out of 107 but AM TOO DISTRACTED TO GET ON WITH THE ICONING PART ALREADY.

And this fanturday, we're going to the Pierrefonds Castle with ephyse and tya_rc. TEEHEE FRENCH!CAMELOT. I cannot wait for our first taste of Merlin's Excellent Adventures (you have no idea how lost Pierrefonds is XD At least we consider ourselves lucky that we don't have to spend much on a fannish trip for a change. Not that we already have plans to go there and have a look at the series 2 shooting when they come back next year, AT ALL.)

(btw I am not especially bored but this mood theme has Colin Morgan in it, therefore my non obsessive self was compelled to use it \o/)
