Big question of the day: do I watch SPN 4x21 or do I wait till next week, when I'll be able to watch both episodes in a row? Dilemma, dilemma!

I finally caught up with Dollhouse. I'll definitely cry if the show doesn't get a second season because it's so good! Though I'll admit that I was a tad disappointed with 1x11 but I think it's my own fault - after seeing everyone gush about it, I guess I was waiting for something different. But it was good, I liked it! Just not how I thought I would. Expectations should be banned.

Anyway, back to 1x11 - I have a spoilery question about something someone said in some scene )

Wow, so many speculations for something that might mean nothing at all lol So, anyway, see? I did like 1x11 - and actually, thinking of other scenes than the one I mentioned above, I'm realising I might have liked it better than I first thought. Ok, then!

Do we only have two episodes left for this season? Damn. Two episodes and we have no Supernatural and no Dollhouse anymore, how sad! I'm looking forward to the Glee premiere but apart from that, it feels like I won't have any show to watch omg! What is supposed to air in the next month/s? Or is it a sign I just should catch up with those other shows I've been downloading but not watched... or worse, yet, that I've been meaning to download but haven't? Ahem.

Oh! Speaking of shows; I've received my shiny ST:TOS season 1 box-set yesterday, wheee! It's gonna bring back memories, dude!

Due to my Sunday plans all falling through, I decided to have a little Me day and finally catch up with Dollhouse. I think I'd only watched the first two episodes, meaning I was five episodes behind? Guess it was high time I caught up.

Which I did, and I really, really enjoy that show! I also appreciate the fact that it's not just one or two characters I love but pretty much the whole cast. Echo is, of course, my #1 but I really love Boyd and Claire and Mellie - boy do I ever! I might also be lusting after her a little bit? If by 'little bit' one means 'a whole lot' ♥ ♥

I'm quite interested in the Adele-Laurence team, too. As for Topher, he keeps creeping me out a little. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, character wise, but still. Oh, and let's not forget Sierra and Paul and Victor. They don't creep me out at all, mind, I'm just into them too.

So, yes, mucho love for the show in general and the characters in particular :-)

Still on the subject of tv shows; something quite unexpected happened on Friday. So. Contrary to popular belief, there are shows I don't watch. I dare say there are shows I don't watch and can't stand, even. Bones was one of them. That is, I couldn't stand Bones. Which was a bit problematic considering she's sorta the eponymous character of the show? So I never watched it - because yes, I'm one of those strange persons who don't watch something they don't like. Strange concept it'd seem, but that's beside the point, I guess.

Fast-forward to the last month; whenever I was home on Friday night and had the tv on, I'd find myself catching bits and pieces of the season they were airing at the time and to my surprise, I found myself enjoying what I was seeing... Like, I thought Bones was pretty cool and funny and insane and she didn't grate on my nerves at all.

So what did I do? I googled the show, found what season was airing on M6 and sorta ordered the boxset. On Wednesday, when s3 will be released, I'll own it. Strange things do happen!

And unrelated now, though not really because it's about J2, which makes it still about tv. Dude. Those guys love messing with our heads, don't they? They should stop playing with us slashers, except for how I hope they NEVER WILL. We just have too much fun with those boys ♥ ♥

I watched Dollhouse 1x02 and my interest hasn't weaned at all, quite the contrary.

Spoilery comments )

Unrelated now; for the first time since January - which isn't that long for me, considering - I've been visited by the beginning of the shadow of a maybe potential plot bunny for a new fic.

I can't take credit, though. I received a new feedback for my Merlin story yesterday - and isn't it a lovely surprise when you get comments for one of your fics month/s after they were posted? - and at the end, it was mentioned that it could be interesting to see Merlin's side of the story, which made me go "dude, that's... a good idea! A very good idea. It would be great to see what was going on with Merlin during the fic!" I know it might sound stupid since I'm the one who wrote the fic in the first place, but I'd never really thought of Merlin's POV. Not in a way that would make me tell his story, I mean.

Like I was saying in my own comment, I have no idea whether I'll write it - or finish it if I do start it - but at least a seed has been planted and I'm thinking 'what if'? Which is nice :-)

Well. To be fair, I am visited by plot bunnies every now and then, only those would be more of the mayflies variety in that they live but for a short moment? Like, when watching today's episode of Dollhouse, I was thinking of a SPN type of AU/redux fic where Dean would be one of the actives and Sam would either be his handler or our Sam trying to get Dean back... except he'd need to find Dean's 'real memories' and imprint him with them before he could save him and everything... So it's not like I'm fic'ally idle exactly, it's just that I usually can't muster the energy to go and write the fics that go with the ideas... Just one of those things, I guess.

Lost my internet connexion early in the afternoon before I left and it was still lost when I got home. Methinks it was a good thing I wasn't home or I'm pretty sure I'd have been all pathetic and just looked at the little light blinking and blinking even though it's not supposed to and trying to will it to stop doing so with my superpowers.

But it's back now, even if it's crawling more than anything.

I'm still behind many fannish things, but I've just watched Dollhouse. I guess I have stuff to say about the premiere, but it'd feel my brain? Is stuck on one thing, namely the (extremely) short white dress of sexiness! Omg! I rewound that scene a couple of time? I have no idea whether anyone could consider this a spoiler but just in case... )

Apart from the white dress - ♥ ♥ - I really liked that pilot and am intrigued enough to want to tune in every week to learn more. Or, let's say that I hope the rest of the season will interest me like the premiere did *fingers crossed*

Also, I'll just have to remind myself that this a Whedon show - even if (not that there's any reason why he shouldn't do things differently) it felt different from his other shows somehow, familiar actors excluded - meaning I'll have to brace myself for pretty much everything happening in future episodes. I know I'll certainly forget at one point and then feel crushed that Joss Whedon did what he's very good at, meaning killing your favourite characters or breaking them into tiny little pieces, or breaking your favourite characters into tiny little pieces before killing them, thus making you cry, but it'll be my own fault for forgetting who's behind the wheel, I guess.

Oh, and if I do get hooked for good, I'll start crossing my fingers so that the show doesn't get cancelled. Because I feel this would drive me crazy. Looks like the kind of show that creates a gazillion questions, so to imagine never getting any answers? Makes me want to cry already. But, ok, thinking good thoughts here! *thinks good thoughts*
