- Finally after like a million years I got myself a new LJ layout, updated my profile and uploaded an amazing new animated Glee moodtheme. I'm not sure if this is actually going to correspond with me being more active on LJ, but I hope so! I think I need to friend a bunch of people in Glee fandom but I always find it kind of difficult to get involved with a new fandom like that. Lurking is so much easier.

- How awesome was the Game of Thrones finale? The day after I watched it I went out and bought the first book; I wasn't planning on reading them because I like being surprised by the TV show, but there's no way I can last until next year without finding out what happens next.

- I assume everyone is as excited as I am about Pottermore? I don't know if it'll actually turn out to be as awesome as it sounds but right now it looks like it's going to be very cool.

- I'm still really enjoying Pretty Little Liars, but UGH, can we please get rid of Samara already. She's SO BORING; they obviously didn't bother to characterise her beyond "nice girl for Emily". Also, she looks like she ought to be cute and yet somehow isn't. Bring back Paige and her serial killer bangs, please.

- Has anyone else been watching The Voice? I'm kind of in love with Dia Frampton.

- Apparently femslash11 assignments are being sent out at the moment, although I haven't received mine yet. I'm looking forward to it; it's always one of my favourite fic exchanges, and I can't wait to start writing. :D Just received it! And it's going to be a bit of a challenge, but that's definitely a good thing.

I was glad they brought back Samara because I do find her cute, but yeah, there's not a lot of depth there. Isn't Maya scheduled to come back as well? I'd honestly rather have Samara, because on top of finding Maya boring, she always kind of bugged me. This show just needs to get much, much better at fleshing out love interests, though; the great majority of them lack either development or likability or both. I really hope we haven't seen the last of Paige and Caleb - they're the only two that I still liked by the end of last season and who managed to hold my interest.

Yeah, I heard they were bringing Maya back (although I have no idea where she's going to live, because Jason seems to have moved into her house). I prefer Samara to Maya too but you're right, the love interests generally suck. Apparently Paige is coming back in the second half of season two, and I imagine Caleb will stick around although I haven't heard anything definite.
