Well, my Internet is back. And all it took is two weeks, me calling the phone company ten times a day, going to their offices to hassle them in person, having a minor breakdown and sacrificing several small animals to the devil. (Totally worth it!)


-We definitely needed a break from the doom and gloom after last week-mind you, only in Battlestar Galactica would an episode which includes the beginnings of a mutiny, a character turning traitor and casual death threat be considered ‘lighthearted’. Hey, as long as nobody commited suicide, was raped or airlocked, it’s all good.

-Oh, Felix. The development was not surprising: between the webpisodes and losing Dee (to say nothing of New Caprica and the fallout), the character has truly lost all that he can. Still-this can’t end well.

-I hate baby storylines as a rule, but there’s something delightfully amusing about Tigh and Six cooing over their unborn baby toaster. And bless Cottle, the last remaining unrepentant smoker in a nicotine-free television.

-Nicky has two daddies! And apparently taking shots at Callie never gets old.

-I’m happy for Adama and Roslin gettin’ their freak on, and even happier we didn’t actually see it. It’d be like watching your parents have sex.

-Barely any Starbuck, but I loved her and Gaeta verbally cutting each other to shreds. It was kind of hot.

In other news, I’m rewatching Merlin season 1 with [livejournal.com profile] ariadneelda, and [livejournal.com profile] mimine joined us today for episodes 109 and 110, even though she’d never seen it before. Suffice to say, the silliness is only enhanced when watching it out of context.


[livejournal.com profile] mimine’s first impression of Arthur: What IS this guy? He seems straight out of Queer As Folk!
[livejournal.com profile] mimine’s first impression of Merlin: OMG, what is up with the EARS?
[livejournal.com profile] ariadneelda: I don’t know, they’re kind of cute. A bit like Mr Spock.
Me: Oh, you do not want to go down that road with her.
[livejournal.com profile] mimine: HE’S NOTHING LIKE SPOCK! Spock’s ears are delicate, and *pretty*.
Me: Whatever. Can we *please* watch the show?

Some slasher squee later-[livejournal.com profile] mimine: Sorry, I can’t get over the ears. Does Arthur use them to get a better grip during sex?
Me: *dead from teh imagery*
-[livejournal.com profile] mimine: *using illustrative hand gestures* Probably useful in blowjobs too.

Merlin is unable to keep Uther from taking Excalibur: -[livejournal.com profile] mimine: Wait, so now UTHER has Excalibur? But…but…
Me: What did I tell you about using your brain during this show?

Uther tells Merlin to ‘take care’ of Arthur[livejournal.com profile] mimine: Aw, the father-in-law gave them his blessing!

Arthur, ending his rousing speech to the villagers with “Free Eldor!- Me and [livejournal.com profile] mimine: “Free alcohol?”
Me: Well, their are English. Sort of.

Merlin, talking to Will about magic-[livejournal.com profile] mimine: The ex is kind of bitter. And wait, Merlin will help with magic? What is he going to do, use that little fire he makes?
Me: He can do other stuff, trust me!

During the attack, Merlin uses his powers to start the fire Me: No, really.

Merlin helping Arthur into his armour:[livejournal.com profile] mimine: Wait, he dresses him?
Me: Oh, yeah.
[livejournal.com profile] mimine: And undresses him! Aw, are they going to kiss? Morgana interrupts moment
Me: BAD timing!
[livejournal.com profile] mimine:Damn you, Morgana!

Alexander’s Siddig character fighting Arthur:[livejournal.com profile] mimine: He’s got a bit of a Rahm Emmanuel vibe.
Me: And Gaius from Galactica!
[livejournal.com profile] mimine: An improved mix of both.
Me: But taller. Arthur stabs him Noooo, Bashiiir!
[livejournal.com profile] mimine: Don’t kill the pretty!

*is laughing all over again* I won't be able to see Merlin's ears and not think of "love handles" ever again! :D

It's all mimine's fault, the show just got 300% unintentionally funnier!

(You're still awake? I'm gonna watch the episodes I got from you now I think...)

[identity profile] ariadneelda.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
ALL of them? Καλό ξενύχτι! :P

And Mimine should be joining us more often!

[identity profile] ishtar79.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
Well, *maybe* not all. You know me. *attempts to look innocent*

And yeah, we should have those viewing sessions with Mimine more often.

*giggles at your Merlin-watching*

Hey, welcome back to the land of Internet! I hope the withdrawal symptoms weren't too bad. ;-)

[identity profile] ishtar79.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 11:30 am (UTC)(link)
The withdrawal symptoms were *bad*. Thankfully I live near an Internet cafe, so I didn't have to go cold turkey. :P

I love how one is not supposed to use one's brain with that show - that is SOOOO TRUE!!!

[identity profile] ishtar79.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 11:31 am (UTC)(link)
Big thinky thoughts only interfere with enjoying teh pretty!

[identity profile] olympia-m.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
exactly!!!!

[identity profile] mimine.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I tried to disengage my brain, I really did!!!

[identity profile] olympia-m.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
lol

serioulsy, you can't watch Merlin with the brain on *G* it distracts from the pretty (and the massively stupid *G*)
