- I just randomly caught the last half an hour of The Pandorica Opens on BBC3 while I was having dinner, and holy fuck, I think I'd forgotten quite how perfect that episode was. Between that and the amazing Doctor Who/Skins crossover fic I received from femslash10 and suddenly hugely in the mood for MOAR WHO. Why is it not Christmas yet?? Also, after having watched The Pandorica Opens again I now NEED to rewatch the finale.

- Speaking of femslash10 (as I was, kind of): the fic I just posted for it was the first thing I'd posted in nearly EIGHT MONTHS. That's terrible! I need to write more, but it's difficult as I'm kind of ~between fandoms~ right now. There are a bunch of shows and ships I'm interested in, but I don't feel like I'm actually IN any particular fandom at the moment. :(

- I love this picture of Gaga:



SHE'S SO CUTE AND SURPRISINGLY NORMAL-LOOKING AND WEARING GLASSES, BE STILL MY HEART. ♥

- Album rec for anyone who likes amazing synth-pop: Happiness by Hurts, album out next week but it's already leaked, of course. So so good, I've been listening to practically nothing else since it leaked. Also, one of their videos features lots of hot women in suits. That's probably relevant to a few people's interests. ;)

- I'm so looking forward to all the American TV shows that are about to start up again. Has anyone heard about any new shows that are meant to be particularly good? I feel like picking up some new ones (you can never have too many fandoms!) but have no idea where to start.

- Work tomorrow, ugh. DNW.

SHE IS SO PRECIOUS. ♥

Hellcats! I'd forgotten about that. It's probably going to be pretty terrible but no doubt I'll give it a try anyway for the same reasons that you have. Maybe for other new shows I'll just wait and see which ones get the most buzz.

I cannot WAIT for new Fringe, omg. I only just got into recently and I love Olivia Dunham more than is healthy.

HBIC for sure. I love Olivia so much, omg. I am so excited for apocabigbang to start so I can write my Fringe/Criminal Minds fic. SO. EXCITED.

Have you ever seen Ashes to Ashes? I realize it's over now, but it only just ended this spring and I can't remember if you ever said you'd watched it or not. If you haven't seen it, I seriously recommend you do. There isn't much ~gay~ in it, but the storyline is FANTASTIC and Keeley Hawes is so swoon-worthy.

UNF, THAT GIF. ♥

I haven't seen Ashes to Ashes! It's like a sequel to Life of Mars, right? IDK, I like Keeley Hawes but for some reason they've never appealed to me. Maybe I'll give it a go.

It's sort of a sequel to LoM, yeah. I never saw LoM (I did watch some later, but not all of it). You don't really need to have seen LoM to watch A2A (anything you don't know can easily be found on Wikipedia).

The last episode of A2A may just be the best episode of any show that I have ever seen. IMHO, nothing compares to it. It's just amazing.

It does have a bit of a slow build, but I promise you, by the end of S1 you'll just be dying to see more. It's really engaging and clever. It reminds me a little bit of a grown-up/80s version of Veronica Mars, actually.

Ooh, okay, grown up Veronica Mars has sold it to me. :D
