It's a show about a dragon who likes to slash

In the latest “Oh God, I have enough fandoms to merit an intervention” news, I’ve fallen totally in love with BBC’s Merlin. I put off watching it for a while because a)there are so many hours in the day and b)I was worried that it would be a bit like that Robin Hood show…which, apologies to any who might like it, I could not get through more than a few episodes before lapsing into a boredom-induced comma.

But anyway, Merlin. It was actual good, and not just in that ‘so bad it’s’ way.

-I went on a mini-friending spree, mostly people from my IJ flist (because IJ itself is pretty dead these days) and a few people I’ve been meaning to add on LJ for a while. So. *waves*

-I succumbed and ordered the complete Buffy DVD series from Amazon UK, as an early Christmas present to myself. Never mind that I only relatively recently rewatched my downloaded Buffy eps. At only about 72 euros, I *had* to have it (plus, commentaries, whee!).

-And speaking of special Amazon offers, why are the Trek shows so expensive? I guess Sci Fi geeks are supposed to be more willing to spend than average fan geeks-me, I’m sticking with torrents. I’ve recently rewatched DS9, which reminded me of why it’s my all-time favourite Trek. I also rewatched Voyager, and rolled my eyes at the copious use of the reset button, missed storyline/character development opportunities, and how after a certain point, the show became All. About. Seven (and I actually liked Seven, but come ON!). I’m currently working my way through Enterprise, which is not quite as godawful as I remember it.
