*bows down at the feet of her majesty Queen Eva* 

Seriously, the show is worth watching if for no other reason than seeing Eva HBICing like it's going out of style.

All in all, the pilot was okay, but I definitely sense potential for the show to become Must-Squee-TV.

Fandom: The BBC’s Merlin
Pairing: Morgana/Gwen, brief mention of Morgana/Morgause
Rating: PG, angst
Disclaimer: I don’t own them.
Summary: Things are tense between Morgana and Gwen, and though Morgana wishes things could be different she doesn’t know how to make it work.

 

( What Must Be Done )

Merlin is back!  REJOICE!

 That was a thoroughly enjoyable hour of television.  Bring on the rest of Season 3!

( Thoughts on the episode behind the cut ... beware of spoilers! )

In conclusion, BRING ON PART II!

Also, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND listening to the sketchy cloaks podcast for the episode.
It is HILARIOUS (so much quotable quotes, i.e.  "Gauis, check your weave!  Trying to kill someone is kind of a big deal") and full of femslashy goodness.  I don't know who these girls are, but they are hilarious and THEY SPEAK THE TRUTH.  Also, Emilia Fox will now forever be Milly to be because of this podcast.  Seriously, listen to it, you will not regret it!

Summary: Morgana knows Camelot well, but it is no longer her home.

[sarcasm]Thank god they are being ambiguous about Morgana.  It was very hard for me to tell what kind of role she's going to play this year.  Gauis's comment especially left a lot of room for interpretation. [/sarcasm]


Oh, subtly thy name certainly is not Merlin.

Saw FAME last night.

MERLIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, after a dream I had last night, I now find Drew Barrymore really, really ridiculously sexy ... which has never happened before.   I now want her and Ellen Page to be doing it IRL even more now! Seriously, they are both cute as buttons and they appeal to my older woman/younger fetish love so much - and yes, I know Drew isn't really old, but she's 12 years older than Ellen which is enough!

edited for thoughts on Megan Fox on SNL

Megan Fox News! (I know you've all been waiting for updates!!!)



Megan Fox Challenges Players on Xbox Live August 29th (I'm not even a gamer, but for some reason the fact that she is, and is good enough that she would play against the Comic Book Guys of the world, is hot to me.  There's nothing better than a nerdy hot chick!)

( Mega Fox and Amanda Seyfried, this featurette is two times the fun! )

Megan Fox to play Catwoman? (I love her, but NO!  I boycott any suggestions of actresses for Catwoman that are under 30 ... unless it's Eva Green.  If it's Eva Green I won't be able to speak let alone boycott anything because I'll be too busy crying and weeping with happiness and joy.)

I made this wallpaper

click pic for large version

of Audra MacDonald and Anne Hathaway yesterday, and I can't stop staring at it.  I haven't found Anne Hathaway smoking hot since that TV show she did with that guy from Breaker High.  I like Anne Hathaway, and I thought she was adorable in Devil Wears Prada, but I have never swooned over her like I swoon over these pictures.  Not only do I want to re-read Twelfth Night, I also really, really, really wish that a film version would be made of this Anne/Audra version of the play.  The fact that they remind me of these two

only makes it that much better and OTP-ish and lovely for me! 

I've kind of constructed an elaborate fantasy in my head, where Morgana leaves Camelot to learn about her magic and how to control it, but after becoming this power sorceress she realizes that she feels empty inside.  She left Camelot to explore a part of herself, but she left just as necessary a part of herself behind in Camelot, and so she heads back to Camelot disguised as a young noble man so that she can win Gwen back and then run away with her.

Won't Arthur, or Uther, or Merlin or a number of other people recognize her, you may ask?  The answer is NO!  If glasses can fool people into not recognizing Clark Kent as Superman, then a haircut can fool people into thinking Morgana is a dude.  And if need be then she can just add an extra air of mystery about her by wearing a kato style mask.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again ... I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT SEASON OF MERLIN!  And the promo pics I'm seeing for Season 2 are just fanning the fire!

I was finally able to customize my desktop theme thanks to this website!  Horray!  Now my computer looks like this

( I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Wait for it ... wait for it ... wait for it .... I'm laughing. )

OMG! Pictures of Kristen Stewart where she look super hot instead of stoned and annoying ... actually she still looks stoned.
