I still have so much ties with this fandom. I read fics like my life depends on it and Van and Jake are visibly going to be Epic forever (re: thrusday's prank call and Van's latest FB status).


~~ Misfits's last episode was probably the weakest of the (otherwise incredible) series but it was still full of awesome moments.

I'm still completely in love with Simon/Alisha. I've rarely been this enthralled by a het pairing. It's also the best thing that could ever happen to Alisha's character, for real. I love her so much now!
As for the rest of the episode, the whole Nathan/Alisha/Simon plot was fantastic. I was left perplexed by Kelly's plot and I couldn't care less about Nikki and Nikki/Curtis.

But Simon/Alisha OTP4LIFE *cough*

Two lovely fanvids I'm currently watching over and over :

Center of Attention
Possibility

Next week's finale looks A-MA-ZING, BtheW.


~~ Community had THE BEST. CHRISTMAS EPISODE. EVER. I can't even begin to describe the epic awesomeness that was this episode. And nothing had/has/will top it. I seriously need to get back on Planet Abed right now.





~~ I will end with this awesomesauce Edgar Wright's films fanvid which everyone should see if they haven't already.



Btw I finally saw Scott Pilgrim (twice) and it was EVERYTHING I WANTED IT TO BE AND MORE <3
I may be able to attend an Edgar signing at the end of the month which I'm PSYCHED ABOUT. I also need to do a Spaced/SotD/HF/SP marathon asap.

Geeky fanboys turned directors FTW.

STAY AWESOME AND AMAZING FOREVER.
LOVE LIKE BURNING, ME.


Also, stay this mad and cracky :


SHOW, YOU ARE BOSS.


AND BY BOSS I MEAN, THE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL TRAILER IS AMAZING.



IT HAS DUMBLEDORE AS SCROOGE AND OMFG OMFG OMFG ( SPOILARZ )





___________________________________________

** In other completely unrelated excitement and happiness, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows *finally* comes out in France tomorrow and I'll be able to see it with nicelyobsessed on the first day, YAYAYAYAYAYAAAAAAAAAAAAY \o/

Everyone Ever jizzing all over it this past week has significantly raised my expectations SO I HOPE IT DAZZLES.

** I can't tell you how happy Darren Criss's MASSIVE FAME makes me. It still feels a bit weird but seing his face EVERYWHERE is really nothing to complain about. Me and some of my fangirly friends will try to get tickets for the UK Glee summer 2011 tour which will have Darren there. I really hope we succeed !

** MISFITS IS FLAWLESS. 202 was made for me since it was shock full of brotherly love, daddy issues, Nathan being obnoxious and amazing and win, Nathan/Simon A LOT, a next week trailer full of Nathan/Simon A LOT. If you didn't know, I ship Nathan/Simon, A LOT.
I've also just discovered that Iwan Rheon is a proper musician and a quite talented one! I LOVE THIS. His singing voice is so pretty <3

SO MUCH AWESOMENESS IN THE NUKE FANDOM LAST NIGHT I STILL FEEL DIZZY.

** KERI (oktoberskies) made a new Nuke vid for Holly's bday and I can't stop watching it since then *LOVES*

luke/noah; here we go again

** We *finally* got some Hansis news (stop being MIA you ho!) which made me realize how much I missed his face. First, Ryan from BlazinRy Radio (who is an old college pal of Jake and did a cracky 'college reunion' itw with him a few weeks ago) announced that he would do a radio interview with Van in december. And yes the fact that Van's getting interviewed by a friend of Jake totally made my night #JansisForLife
AND THEN, awesome nukie ninjas decided to strike and release 6568793649687469 new headshots he did in LA recently (only one of them is in HQ but BOOOY). VAN HANSIS IS FLAWLESS. We shall also have a video itw with Welovesoaps very soon so, MY VAN HANSIS FANGIRLY HEART IS FINALLY SATISFIED.

** Meanwhile, Jake (that other ho) keeps teasing us on FaBo about exciting news coming up and you better meet the expectations you're creating, Silbermann. He is also displaying a ridiculous amount of awesomeness by liking comments about Goutman and his asshole ways.

** Darren Criss on glee was seen and fangirled intensely over ! I loved the episode and Blaine is so far just as cool as he said he would be in his interviews *hearts* Darren was trending worldwide on twitter on tuesday night and there's already rumors that he is about to get promoted as series regular ! I'm so proud of him omg !
I was immediately on board with Kurt/Blaine, even if I still am a Sam/Kurt shipper and I still believe in it (especially with the latest spoilers). Let's hope for a triangle, even!
It also made me rewatch AVPM and STILLSOMUCHLOVE. "Quirrel... Ok is wonderful !" is like, one of my favoritest moment of anything, EVER!

** I'm still enjoying Hollyoaks's twisted Ste/Bren storyline and even if right now, I feel really uncomfortable shipping them, next week's spoilers could change that reaaaally fast. Steven is totally mah BB, he hurts so prettily and is so sweeeet <3 Brendan is a pure delight. The more psycho he gets, the more I bloody love him. Emmett is incredible in the role.
Here's an epic Brendan centric fanvid set very fittingly to Radiohead's Creep :





** I'm off to London this weekend! WHEEEEEEEEEEEE IT'S BEEN A WHOLE YEAR SINCE I'VE BEEN WHICH IS VERY LONG FOR ME. I come back on monday night. We'll enjoy some plays while we're there and most importantly feast our eyes ON SOME ACTORS RELEVANT TO OUR FANNISH INTERESTS !

BENEDICT


CUCUMBERPATCH

AMLDKAMLSDKSAMLDKASLMDKALMSDKASLD!!!!!!!!!11!!1 MY EXCITEMENT. LET ME SHOW U IT.

** I'm a major dork. I'm kinda allowing myself to hope that we could find Charlie. I KNOW IT WON'T HAPPEN BUT I CAN'T HELP IT.

** Speaking of, Misfits series 2 starts tonight ! I AM ALSO EXCITEEEED. It'll feel so good to have the awesomest brat ever on my screen again <333 Hope I'll have time to catch up with it before we leave on saturday.
Tomorrow is raclette partay at castalie & nicelyobsessed's place, I AM ALSO EXCITE. I THINK IT IS MY ONLY MODE THIS WEEK.

I'm not posting real posts that much these days since my Nuke obsession has gotten in the way.

Good news is I've finished watching the Luke & Noah story on teh YT (and by this I mean I'm up to date in time for today's episode, eh), I can breathe again and relax.

Bad news is OMFG LUKE AND NOAH. OMFG VAN AND JAKE.

I'm so completely smitten with the pairing and the actors (especially Van Hansis, OH BOY. I mean Jake is quite all right these days but Van deserves an Emmy LIKE WOAH. No wonder he's always nominated.) I may keep on rambling about it all for a while. It's been 3 epic weeks of catch up and I made it through hysterical lulz, eyerolling, facepalming, GINORMOUS SQUEE and sometimes tears. I feel like I've known these people for years.

But that's for another post.

I have some things to say about the rest of telly, since I seem unable to review episodes on time anymore.


First of all, I have started watching two awesome brit series which should be highly recommended :





This show achieves the exploit of being both stylishly gorgeous and extremely unglamorous. It's a bit nasty and raunchy but a very interesting take on the superhero genre. The characters are intriguing and the acting is good. Actually, Robert Sheehan who plays Nathan is a real scene stealer. He has all the best lines and plays wanker like it's in his blood. He also has a hilarious face and great comedic timing, in other words he rocks my socks off and I luff him !
Three episodes have aired so far and the first series will have six in total.






Now I have to explain first how I got into this one. A couple of weeks back, fairy_bliss, jedicathy and I went to see In The Loop which had just been released in theaters (I know it's been months in the UK but I'm surprised it was released over here at all). We went mainly for Tom Hollander and Peter Capaldi and the film was an absolute riot. We loved it to death. I vaguely heard of The Thick of It before but I had NO IDEA that the film we just saw was basically an adaptation of the series with the same characters ! So I threw myself at the first series because I was in need of moar Malcolm Tucker Signature Swearing and I ADORED IT. Must watch the rest asap.

To make an easy description it's kind of like an xover between The Office and The West Wing and it is BLOODY HILARIOUS. One of the funniest, wittiest show I have ever seen.
Evil exists in human form and he is Scottish. Peter Capaldi embodies the purest form of Evil you will ever lay eyes on in the character of Malcolm Tucker. He is both absolutely terrifying and magnificent (I will never be able to see Children of Earth again without finding Frobisher never swearing and being a 'good man' 57 flavours of Wrong.). If he is the Devil incarnate, Jamie McDonald is his personal Hellhound. I love me some scottish wrath.
There's three series (about 6 episodes of 25 mins each) and the last one is currently airing.

Other shows that bring me joy :

White Collar keeps being absolutely fantastic ! It's my feel good show. Neal and Peter have like, the best banter scenes evar. I worship Neal and his sweetness and his fashion sense and his baby blues BUT MOST OF ALL, I can't get enough of Peter's adorkable ways. THE SOCKS IN THE LAST ONE OMG. Also I am madly in love with Elizabeth who totally wears the pants and is the fierce boss of this ménage à trois.

Legend of the Seeker 's second season is A-MA-ZING. Much darker and sexier. Cara makes a wonderful addition to the group and Kahlan is fiercer than ever. As far as guilty pleasures go, this one is much more superior to Merlin as a whole these days, imho.

Community is one of my favourite new show (first place goes to White Collar) and it makes me cry with laughter. It's surprisingly absurd for a US comedy. I adore Abed and Troy (and I totally ship it, yus).

Criminal Minds's 100th episode BROKE ME SO HARD. I was blown away by the brutality and Thomas Gibson's outstanding performance. I love Hotch's arc this season. I'm scared as hell for him and I'm concerned about where this is going but it's really good stuff. Kudos to C. Thomas Howell for his portrayal of The Reaper because he has definitely become my favourite unsub of the entire show.

Merlin is quite hit or miss with me this year. I didn't like the Troll episodes and Witchfinder so much but I LOVED The Sins of the Father and Lady of the Lake in which Bradley and Colin both took turns to blow me away. I wasn't too fond of the last episode, Sweet Dreams because I found it a bit pointless and meh. I did like Georgia and the Arthur/Gwen stuff though. Next week looks awesome.

House's 6th season rocks my socks more than ever. I love House and Wilson living together, I love Cuddy/Lucas and I am THRILLED by the departure of Cameron and the return of Taub (who was excessively FTW along with Chase last week) and 13. I can't even begin to describe the length of my excitement for tonight's episode. If it doesn't turn out to kill me dead with ORSUM I will be pretty fucking pissed.

The Office's 6th season is also incredible and totally deserves to be mentioned. It's way more bittersweet than outright funny this year but it feels very rewarding in terms of character development. Especially for Michael and Andy.

Last but not least Doctor Who makes me happier than ever. I know that it's not even on for another 25 days but I feel the hype something fierce.




Actually I also have concrete Who love since I've started a quick best of marathon of new who episodes. Parting of the Ways and Girl in the Fireplace in particular are still spectacular to watch. Incredible episodes.


ETA : totally blanked Glee for shame ! It's also making me joyful these days. ♥Manipulative!Kurt♥
