So London week was AWESOME. I posted my pics in a FB album here.

I won't go into details but highlights include Jonathan Groff being a total sweetheart, Wicked being way more amazing than anything I could have imagined and Lucy in the Sky playing during the NYE fireworks <3

SO SO GOOD.


We got back on sunday and I went online to have my eyeballs assaulted with

( THIS UNFTACULAR OVERLOAD )

Also, here's a GORGEOUS Ste/Bren picspam/fanmix which also assaulted my eyeballs.


So taking a look at my 2010 year post, I need to do two things in 2011 :

Read more, like, way way more. Watch more old who. OMG those two lists were ridic short !


This amazing article summed up exactly what I felt about last year.
As a wise probation worker said, so long and fuck off, 2010.

Happy Reid kicks the bucket day !

...

OMG I AM JUST KIDDING DON'T DEFRIEND ME OKAY. I couln't resist after last time.

What I really mean is Happy Birthday jackie_oh !


I'm actually a bit sad about Reid dying but I can't wait for today's part ! I read excellent fics about Luke falling apart after Reid's death these last few days and I can't wait for Van to kill me inside tonight.

And also, Noah is on 2 days in row this week ! IS IT CHRISTMAS ?


Anyway, let's finish the memes once and for all :


Doctor Who Meme

( previous days )

Day 29 – Who you think should be the next Doctor

That's a tough one. Well if he doesn't become the Master (except he WILL), I vote for Benedict Cumberbatch right now.


Day 30 – Whatever tickles your fancy



That has nothing to do with the fact that I AM DED EXCITE FOR MERLIN S3 TO START. EXCEPT THAT IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH IT.


Nuke Meme

( previous days )

Day 29 - Whatever tickles your fancy

Here's an awesome Luke/Reid/Noah threesome vid that I can't stop watching since I found it. THE LOST OPPORTUNITIES ON THIS SHOW. IT BURNS.




Day 30 - if their story could be made into a new show, what would you have their first episode be about ? Who would you want carried over into the new show ?

The first episode would be about them moving in together, in an apartment we ACTUALLY SEE (that was my hope for the end of the show way back in december. I didn't want a wedding, I just wanted to see them moving in and maybe wake up together in the same bed once. Ha. Ha. Ha.).
I would want to keep Casey, Maddie, Lucinda and the Snyders in the new show. Maybe Winston and Damian could wreck havoc at some point. OR ZOMBIES.
Oh and it would air on HBO so Luke and Noah could have tons of hot onscreen sex :D



So there you have it, over and done !

Actually let me finish with another vid rec. It's a True Blood vid and it's just EPIC ORSUM.

Blah Blah Vampire Emergency Blah...

BUT THIS IS THE GREATEST NUKE VID OF ALL TIME.




I am both teary and grinning like a loon.

Thank you so much, my dear fairy_bliss for pimping it to me ♥♥♥

** I am gutted about Legend of the Seeker's cancellation. GUTTED.
It needed at least another season of Cara and Kahlan's Epic Femslashy Love. Of Richard's Abs. Of badass fights and fierce Hairography. Of Lord Rahl's fabulousness. Of Zedd's incredible cockblocking skills. OF THE MINDBLOWING CRACK & LULZ THAT IT BROUGHT WEEKLY INTO MY LIFE.
Thank you for all of these, show. You were fantabulous and gone way too fast, I'll never forget you.






** I've completely fallen for yet another soap storyline (it's only like, my 5th... Hahaha.). This time it's Aaron's story from the british soap Emmerdale. It's actually a departure from the way gay storylines are usually treated in soaps and one of the most realistic, riveting, raw and heartbreaking story I've seen yet. It really takes twists and turns that are original and sometimes quite difficult to take in. The writing and acting are absolutely brilliant. Danny Miller is only 19 but is hopefully promised to a great acting career. His tears already have almost as much power as the mighty Simmtears ! (I've picspammed the sheer beauty of it here). Aaron is a very complex and damaged character which is why he is fascinating to watch.

Here's a great trailer for the story of Aaron :



The whole playlist is over here.
A good starting point is part 70, when he tried to kiss his best mate. Go through part 70-86 then jump forward to part 117 and keep going til the most recent parts.

indigo_5 did two awesome pimp posts here and here.



** Back to Doctor Who, I have some pretty awesome links to pimp :

Brand New Day by humansrsuperior is an Epic Ode to the wonderfulness of Eleven n Amy. There's a bit of Matt n Karen thrown in for good measure and it's just incredibly awesome and flawlessly edited. IT MADE ME SQUEE AND FLAIL ALL OVER. So go watch.

A Crack in the Skin of the Universe by zabbers is a fantastic ficlet set during the current series but from the Master's pov. I WOULD ACTUALLY DIE IF SOMETHING SIMILAR HAPPENED IN THE SHOW. But I bet it won't, damnit. Can you tell that I'm already hitching for the Master to come back ? C'mon Moffat, you know what to do in series 6.

And last but not least, eleventy_kink because he's worth it.

I defy you to watch this fantastic who fanvid and not grin like mad afterwards.




WHAT DO U MEAN UR NOT WATCHING COMMUNITY ? BUT LOOK HOW FUCKING HAPPY AND MAD IT IS.



__________________________________________


In other 'SO PAINFUL I LOVE IT' news that is only relevant to my interests, Luke and Noah broke up yesterday. IT HURT SO SO GOOD. I don't know how many times I've watched that part already.

Today Luke is sharing "a moment fraught with sexual tension" with Doctor Prick McAwesome. Yep, DAT FAST. I CANNOT WAIT. Gawd I love soaps, they have the Best Gays and the Best Cracky Angst.

It's like Cheating Week in Soapland or something because Oliver will be snogged senseless by someone who is not Christian on friday (ROB YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD \o/). It's too bad that Roman will only make eyes to someone who is not Deniz next month because they could all have been in synch, eh.

ETA : LIES. Reid and Luke didn't kiss today DAMNIT. But it was full of UST and I have hope for next week. Reid is fast becoming my third fave character, HE IS MADE OF COMPLETE OBNOXIOUS WIN. TWAS ORSUM.
__________________________________________

IDK, I just rewatched it and wanted to share ♥







MAI OTP IS MADE OF HEARTS AND RAINBOWS AND UNICORNS and violent angst and soul-crushing pain.


ARGH I won't be home for tomorrow's new youtube bits episode and it saddens me more than any sane person should.

Sanity is so overrated anyway.

I only hope it will be as incredibly sweet as it was on monday.

Knowing how we must be punished for every squeeful scenes, I very much doubt it. But hey, I like banging my head against the desk too so that's okay, eh.


On the German front, it's nice to have Roman and Deniz 5 times a week (more or less), now it would be actually good to give them, you know, SOMETHING SUBSTANTIAL TO DO.
They are currently extremely cute but without purpose. I want this SL to go into 3rd gear already !



They're all I can think about. I still haven't seen this week's White Collar or... Last week's SPN.

The Battlestar Galactica OSTs are among my all time favourite sountracks. The music was just like the show, epic, dark and heartbreaking.

Now Gaeta singing in 4x07 is one of the most memorable moment from the entire show. Alessandro Juliani's voice is gorgeous and the song is incredibly sad.


GAH. ;___;


Everytime the album version of this song plays in my mp3 player, EVERYTIME, no matter where I am, I always get tears in my eyes. And once it's on I can't stop playing it.
It's one of the most heartbreaking songs I know.



And I decided to upload it and share the love :

Gaeta's Lament
Gaeta's Lament (instrumental version)

I need to rewatch BSG from the very beginning something fierce. I miss the show so much ;__;


/random post is random.

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♥

I can't believe I've actually opened semagic to write it lol.

So I won't go into too many details but let's just say that we were lucky and on a roll !

( Epic adventures of fannish Epicness are Epic )


I'm going back to the UK this weekend (Nottingham) to see SIMON AMSTELL !! I AM SO EXCITED I CAN BARELY CONTROL MY SQUEE. Oh. My. God. It better be fucking epic !


In other news I had my fastest addiction to a new show + fandom ever with the pilot episode of White Collar *points to icon*

It's sassy, shiny, classy and UBER SLASHY.

I'm already dying of the wait for 102 and have read pretty much every slash fics produced in the (already impressively active) fandom.

Oh and also today's SJA Killed. Me. OF AWESOME !! (re : the next tweet batch).

Yesterday was indeed the sad day where Kings came to an end for me and I'm still not over the frustrating ending.

No more Jack Benjamin crying all over the place or being devious and manipulative.

No more delightfully creepy Macaulay Culkin <333

No more MAGNIFICENT King Silas.

No more magical reverend Samuels.

No more conflicted yet efficient Thomasina.

No more cracky guards !

No more uber classy & ruthless Queen Rose.

No more of David's puppy eyes which had me exasperated most of the time but I'll probably miss his delicious scenes with Silas and Jack !

No more Michelle WOOT WOOT !

Oh and Joseph be still my heart forever and ever ♥


In conclusion Kings taught me that a fate worse than death = Het. Thank you for making this statement canon, show \o/


I found this lovely vid and I definitely realised that Jack is probably one of my all time favourite characters and that the show was taken from us way too soon DAMNIT.

Jack Benjamin {Kings} Lost from mojo5000 on Vimeo.

Such a gorgeous show, too. ;___;

But it's also a time for happy returns like the new series of the Sarah Jane Adventures starting this week YAY :

( trailer + squeeful comments behind the cut )

And an other completely unexpected return was the new Law & Order UK episode that popped up on the intrawebz and I sure hope that the rest will follow because DEAR GAWD I totally forgot how good that series was.

Freema is absolutely stunning and I really think that it's her best role by far. She did a great career move when she decided to pick Alesha because she really shines and I'm completely proud and impressed by her in this (not that I'm giving up my Marfa luv but she has more room to stretch her acting muscles in L&O and it's really showing).

My shippy heart was delighted to have good Alesha/James interactions and I was also *so pleased* to have Matt and Ronnie's awesome partnership on my screen again, and you know, Jamie Bamber's gorgeousness doesn't hurt one bit, same goes for Ben Daniels hot like burning. I won't talk about Freema. NO I DO NOT WATCH FOR SHALLOW REASONS.

The ending was unexpected and pissed me off but I guess that it was good for added realism. I loved that the procecutors fought so hard to work on the case though.


The rest of my telly watching in a few words :


( Criminal Minds aka the show who drives me crazy with only one episode a week )


( Glee ! )


( Supernatural )


( The Office - you should REALLY WATCH THOSE if you gave up on the show to feel the love again. )


Dollhouse : Criminal Minds, meet Dollhouse. Dollhouse, meet Criminal Minds. Loved the concept ! Enver Gjokaj is one of the best reason for not cancelling the show.
Also, KIKI!VIKTOR/BALLARD FOREVAH.

Merlin : twas my favourite episode of the new series so far and I SHIP EVERYONE WITH EVERYONE. Nobody was left out and it was properly glorious <3



In conclusion this : > ALL. *loves her subtextually dodgy show to death*



Oh and speaking of Arthurian legend, THIS WEEK IS ALSO KAAMELOTT'S RETURN ON FRENCH TV YES ! Last series of the only french show we can be proud of <3
