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/)
