So I did want to update for several days about my beloved shows's (sometimes spectacular) comeback but I'm in a fierce procrastinating mood.

Mood definitely not helped by the fact in the last week or so, fairy_bliss and I have fallen for *yet* another gay pairing in a soap.

It's a german one called Alles Was Zählt (All That Matters) and just like ATWT their gay boys have issues and angst a lot. There's also figure skating involved which is clearly of the Win.

Here, have a gorgeous songvid which has about everything I love love love about these two.




If you want to get to know them better, my lovely fairy_bliss did a fantastic pimping post HERE.

I'm already almost caught up with their story and it's not even been two weeks, eh. Soaps are addictive.


I was also mostly pleased with the double dose of Nuke this week. You can never have too much Nuke (I hope we'll get them twice next week as well *fingers crossed*).
Mind you not all of it was satisfying but I dig their SL and we had Noah being incredibly sweet and adorable (with awesome hair *g*) on tuesday and a 51st kiss on friday, they couldn't manage to have it all both at the same time but hey, that's the limit of those writers for you.
Next week does look like we're back to the Epic Angst again and while I can't wait because I'm still not used to have to *wait* for nuke parts, I'm a bit anxious too. I think Dr Reid is presh so far and I'm curious to see where it goes with Luke (and hoping that Noah will finally stop taking Luke for granted anf get jealous a bit).

As for proper telly, overall I'm also very satisfied with post hiatus episodes so far. In shortness :

Dollhouse is just jawdroppingly brilliant. Some episodes from the second half of the current season are some of the best work Whedon has ever done. That may be the most unfair and saddest cancellation ever. I am dead excited by the finale episode and hope that the ending will be satisfying enough to get over the bitterness.

Chuck season 3 is rocking my socks off ! I can't wait for some things to happen and some characters to return but all in all it's good fun with an underlying sense that all could and probably will go wrong very very fast. I love it.

Being Human series 2 is also doing it for me so far. I liked the premiere but 102 was just heatbreaking and awesome. I really like each character's storyline and the creepiness of the general series arc.

House is. Yeah. You know which scene. *grins stupidly at House and Wilson*

White Collar delivered perfectly ! I am still madly in love with Neal, Peter and Elizabeth but mostly, Neal rocked the episode with his mad skills of UNFNESS.

Legend of the Seeker, well. I kinda want to say Richard who (although his abs of steel & doe eyes would be missed) ? BECAUSE I AM BLINDED BY KAHLAN AND CARA'S FIERCENESS AND THEIR EPIC LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER.




Which reminds me that I'm off to watch last night's Seekah ♥

So I'll get this out of the way since everyone and their dogs are talking about it.

My Eleven Wishlist :

- Philip Glenister (if A2A stopped after the next series it could happen and I want it so damn hard !)
- David Morrissey (I know it's so in our face that it's not likely but I can't rule it out because it would be hilarous if that was actually it)
- Dylan Moran
- Stephen Fry
- James Nesbitt
- Julian Barratt (it's my list I put who I want *sticks tongue*)
- Jack Davenport (mostly for eyecandy reasons I admit)
- Julian Rhind-Tutt (I know I'm saying this over one guest stint on Merlin but he would totally pull it off)
- Russell Brand... No I'm joking. No. Really, I'm joking. Hahaha. *clears throat*

I've heard about the Paterson Joseph rumours but I have no opinion since I've never seen him in something. Maybe he would be a better choice because I didn't know Tennant or Eccleston before they got the part either.

I thought I was taking the news about Tennant leaving relatively well except that I discovered that I can't watch a Ten songvid without wanting to cry right now. Eh.


As for this week's teevee watching (in short)

The last 2 Pushing Daisies delivered their usual dose of happy happy. I love that show and its adorableness. However I don't think I would terribly miss it if it was cancelled because as much as I enjoy what I see, I have zero investment in it. But it is absolutely cute and good natured and I love Lee Pace like pie <3

Chuck now has Buster in it and it is even more AWESOME. Buster !

No HIMYM this week and it BLOWS.

House... ( needs a cut. )

The Office and Ugly Betty were doing fine this week. Well, apart from *that* breakup WHICH I DO NOT WANT.

SPN roxxors, especially Dean and Castiel. This season is made of epic win.

Never Mind The Buzzcocks 22x05 or 06 (whatevs) WAS MADE OF 57 FLAVOURS OF AWESOME. SPECIAL MENTION TO THE HILARIOUSNESS OF GERMAINE GREER, JAMES CORDEN AND THE MIGHTY CARDIGAN. It made me totally forget about my rage towards the Russell Brand censure.

Beautiful People 104/105. Posh Spice doll and Lady Di. SERIOUSLY. The fact that jedicathy and I seem to be the only ones watching this show is beyond me. It honestly is the best new series of the year ! It has heart, hilarious characters and situations, 1997 period reconstitution, awesome singing and dancing, fabulousness AND NOT TO FORGET MY FAVOURITE HISTORY BOY. You *have* to watch it, why aren't you watching it ??



I've also watched two new brit series this week :

The first two episodes of Little Dorrit which I'm loving so far.
I started for the delightful miss Freema Agyeman in the first place (and she is adorable and a bit bonkers but most importantly, an awesome victorian lesbian ! *___*) but the rest of the cast is also good. Matthew Mc Fadyen is all blue eyes and still makes woobie faces like a pro, Russell Tovey is made of Kittens, Eve Myles makes retarded look adorable and Andy Serkis creeps the hell out of me and I love him for it. I was a bit disappointed that Freema and her Epic Lesbian Love Story wasn't part of episode 2 but the loveliness of the rest made up for it.

I'm also following Dead Set since I'm a sucker for Zombie flicks. The first 10 minutes were boring as hell but once they got started it was FTW and I've been hooked these past few days. Zombie stories are ALWAYS the same but I'm never ever tired of it, don't ask me why ! The utter crackiness of having it mixed with big brother makes some moments priceless (I was sold at the zombie massacre set to Mika's Grace Kelly XD). I cannot wait to see the last episode which airs tonight, it's been a lot of fun.


Tomorrow I'm meeting with angeliksmall and jedicathy for Quantum of Solace and tomorrow night it's Merlin Party at Cath's place. Since 107 looks full of Arthur and Epic Slash, I really can't wait. It will be the first time we watch a Merlin episode between fangirls <3

( Heroes 206 - I'll do a Galouz for a change )

( SPN 204 )

( Chuck 106 )


Hum, I'll probably watch this week's Sarah Jane Adventures now, I'm in a mood for some healthy underaged subtext.


Tomorrow, I'm going straight from work to tya_rc's for a Torchwood drinking game night, you *may* see me reappear thursday, I'm not entirely sure.

( Chuck 101-103 )

WATCH CHUCK !

( Ugly Betty 203 )

( The Office 403 )

Ugly Betty and the Office are the only two shows making a perfect comeback so far.


Still have to watch a bunch of stuff argh ! I can't keep up with that monstruous tv schedule *woe*
