Day 28 - A pairing people would be surprised you like

I don't think there is any because I'm a predictable ship whore and I have a very wide shipping range.



Day 29 - Your favourite of all the relationships you've posted so far



DEAR MOFF,

PLZ TO BRING BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH THE MASTER BACK BEFORE MATT SMIFF REGENERATES,

LOTS OF LOVE,

ME.


Day 30 - Free choice!

Since they haven't been featured at all in the meme and I adore them and their wrongness/fucked upness/epic angst/hawtness :





( Other days )

Did and done! WOOT.

Day 7 - Favourite rivals

Nemesis works too... Right?





Longest running rivalry of all time, therefore they win all the awards. All 6 and 11 incarnations of them *clings*



Honorable mentions : CLARK KENT AND LEX LUTHOR OMG. I'm at that stage on the show where they act like bitter exes who still are mad about each other. There's lot of heated stare contests and rough grabbing. It's just glorious.

( Other days )

Let’s make a TARDIS wave throughout LJ.
When you see this entry, post a picture of the show to your own journal.





Cracky show has been cracky for a long long time and still awesome at it :D

That is all.

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♥

FUCK NO I AM NOT CUTTING THIS.




LET THE POTATOSHOPAGE BEGIN. Rusty looks like their personal pimp ?!

SO DOCTOR WHO KEEPS ON BRINGING TEH SQUEEFEST.

AND I KNOW THAT EVERYONE MUST HAVE SEEN THEM BY NOW BUT I HAVE TO POST AND EXPRESS MY OWN CAPSLOCK WRATH BECAUSE THIS IS THE MOST HIGH I HAVE BEEN ALL YEAR.

( The Waters of Mars new trailer )


AND NOW FOR THE MAIN FLAILAGE (AND IN THE BEST QUALITY I FOUND IT, WHICH IS NOT MUCH) :

( The End of Time trailer aka DU DU DUM *PROCEEDS TO KILL HALF THE FANDOM WITH SQUEE* )


CHILDREN OF EARTH REMINDED ME THAT RTD CAN BE FUCKING SPECTACULAR (IN A GOOD WAY) AND NOW THAT I'VE SEEN THOSE TRAILERS OF SHEER AMAZINGNESS AND EPICNESS, I BELIEVE THAT HE WON'T FUCK UP THE FINALE. OR AT LEAST HE WOULD HAVE TO TRY VERY HARD WITH SUCH DISPLAY OF WIN.

GIRLS, NO MATTER HOW INSECURE WE FEEL ABOUT OUR REACTIONS, THIS IS TOO FUCKING EPIC AND HISTORICAL TO WATCH ALONE. WE HAVE TO SEE THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME TOGETHER !!

I'm a bit busy at the mo because I have two major oral exams next week to prepare and it's hard because I've become so FED UP with my technical project that keeping reading about it makes me almost sick :/
What's good though is that those are the only two exams left before I can just chill and do nothing apart from fangirling all day and enjoying the sun... And work since I'm on holidays in august but let's not think about that.

On a more YAY front I'm rewatching Torchwood series 2 to prepare myself for COE and it is mostly win. I remembered how much hardcore Owen had become and how foxy Martha was in those episodes (and their cute doctors banter omg <3).

I've also found my love back for my true OTP aka Doctor/Master thanks to Chasing the Paradox which is A-MA-ZING. It's long and so well written. The plot is full of wibbly wobbly timey wimey goodness and the Doctor and the Master are incredibly true to character. I'm in the middle of it and it's really hard to focus on work related things, to be honest.

Funny how the Criminal Minds fandom made me forget that brilliant fic authors could exist somewhere !

So I was falling in love with them all over again which meant that I randomly felt the urge to rewatch Utopia/Sound of Drums/Last of the Time Lords last night and you know what ? IT WAS SO AWESOME THAT I WAS FLAILING ALL OVER THE PLACE. A bit like if I was watching them for the first time. Sure, LOTL has some ridiculous moments but it's lulzy and the good stuff easily outweights the bad. By that I mean MARFA'S INCREDIBLE AMAZINGNESS AND ALL OF THE DOC/MASTER TEXT. It still made me cry twice and I loved that it could still have this effect on me despite the fact that I knew what would come next.
Idk, I think this is my favourite series ending of Nu Who. I always thought it was Parting of the Ways because it's less ridiculous in the end but I have less flail for it, too.


Anyway, next thursday will mean FREEDOM for me and I will probably use that free time to do a new header or something, the Boosh one is SERIOUSLY out of date by now.


OH AND CHECK OUT MY NEW MOODTHEME OF WIN. IT IS SO FIERCE THAT YOU CAN'T LOOK DIRECTLY AT IT FOR TOO LONG.
