lonelybritHmm, how on earth did we get to December already, seems like October was only a week or so ago. Ah well.
So. Merlin. In all honestly I can't really talk about it yet. During the finale I found some strange transcendental state that exists beyond pure squee. Yes it wasn't all perfect, but the bits that were were epic and wonderful. Bring on series 4, I am so ready. Until then, I will survive on fanvids such as this one (SPOILERS for all of S3 Merlin). Hilarious and very very pretty, I would swear fealty to this version of Camelot.
I'm also once more investigating other shows to keep me going during the hiatus. SPN is intriguing but not enough that I'm feeling moved yet to watch the eps I've missed. We'll see.
Conversely, I've just fallen in love with Misfits. What a show, what a grand set of characters ♥ I inhaled all of series 1 and what's aired of S2 over the past few days. I don't really want to say what happens because finding out as you watch is part of the fun, but it's got character growth/change, bitingly dark humour, original storylines and plenty of twists. Unfortunately we're already coming up for the finale so I get one week of going 'Oooh new show!' before it's another hiatus. Rats. Still. Definitely worth giving a go if you're so inclined.
And, finally, I finally get the Tom Ellis thing. He did nothing for me in Doctor Who. I could appreciate the appeal with his Cendred in Merlin in much the same way I appreciate a nice painting. But make him slightly bumbling and really rather sweet and all of a sudden the proverbial light-bulb goes on. So if you haven't watched Miranda, that's another show worth catching-up on. It's painful really, watching her fumble her way through life but some of the situations she finds herself in did leave me curled-up crying with laughter. Plus Gary (Tom Ellis) really is charming as her mate who, like her, is utterly oblivious to the fact that they really are quite in love.
Right, a few more minutes and it's officially the end of the weekend. Bah bloody humbug. I suppose I better ascend the wooden stair. It's only 5 more days after all.
