On a more positive note...Merlin!!!

Okay, after that rather negative post, I've decided to go in a more positive direction, that is...

MERLIN

Fast becoming my favourite show (almost-but-not-quite ursurping Heroes). Merthur...fast becoming my favourite couple (but will never ursurp my all-time favourite couple, PYLAR).

I have watched every episode up to Episode 11. Only two more to go!

Hate the Fandom

Usually I do not hate many characters but there have been four that have got under my skin, especially the last one (mostlt because I spent the last hour trying, without success, to find someone who hated her as much as I did). Anyway, here they are:

Arthur Petrelli (played by Robert Forster): God, where do I start? First of all he is THE WORST villain ever to grace our screens (and that includes that crappy eye thing - Sauron was it? - in Lord of the Rings). First he killed Adam, then took Peter's power, then turned Nathan against everyone, then took Hiro's power. On top of those very important things he also made Claire important with the catalyst and everything. Does she need anymore attention? Also, did I mention that I hate him? Well, there you go. Oh, I almost forgot. He MANIPULATED Sylar. You just don't DO that.

Lauren Reed (played by Melissa George): A grade A bitch. She steals Vaughn from Sydney but seems sort-of-kind-of-almost nice then she turns out to be a bad guy and is only using Vaughn for her own ends! Not only that but also she ruins nearly every potential Sydney and Vaughn scene by being his wife! Plus she - not to be petty or anything - does not suit being a blonde especially with those dark catepillar eyebrows. Urgh!

Claire Bennet (played by Hayden Panetierre): Blonde cheerleader who is ALWAYS the centre of attention. What's not to hate? Plus she whines! Why? Because she wants to be normal! When so many people wish they were special!

and last but definitely not least...

Kahlan Amnell (played by Bridget Regan): I hate this girl! They're trying to make her seem all fiesty and stuff but she's just annoying! No respectable girl would wear dresses like that if she were fighting! There'd get in the way for sure! God! And if she was really in love with Richard she wold have known that Griff was impersonating him. After all the Doctor knew that a clone was impersonating Martha and he's not even in love with her! God!

Now that that rant is out of the way...phew...

Merlin...with a smidge of Merlin/Arthur...also Firefly

Okay, I seriously love this show...and I've only seen two episodes! They screened over here last Sunday as a feature length film...which meant I had to tape them because I was not going to miss Bones, not for nothing. But am I glad that I did. Wonderful show! And there is such a chemistry between the two leads, Merlin (played by Colin Morgan, Jethro from the Doctor Who episode Midnight) and Arthur (Bradley James). I so support them...although this could be that I can't look at a show without wearing slash-tinted glasses. Hehe. No wonder by all-time favourite ship is Pylar.

Another show I have seriously fallen in love with is Firefly. Joss Whedon is the coolest. I mean, cowboys in space. That is just too cool. Plus it has Nathan Fillion (who I last saw as Caleb the weird priest who was the First's bitch) who is the coolest cowboy eever! I don't know why but I support two couples now: Mal/Simon - it just has so many possibilities...plus, well, actually I just like it. Damn you, slash tinted glasses! Oh, I still love you of course. And also: Jayne/River. I do not know why. It just struck me as a good pairing.

One Week: The Pylar Song

This song epitomises the Pylar relationship, at least to my way of thinking. So here it is (oh, and I don't own the lyrics):

It’s been one week since you looked at me
cocked your head to the side and said I’m angry.
Five days since you laughed at me
Saying get that together come back and see me.
Three days since the living room
I realized it’s all my fault, but couldn’t tell you
Yesterday you’d forgiven me
But it’ll still be two days till I say I’m sorry

Hold it now and watch the hoodwink
As I make you stop, think
You’ll think you’re looking at aquaman
I summon fish to the dish, although I like the chalet Swiss
I like the sushi cause it’s never touched a frying pan
Hot like wasabi when I bust rhymes
Big like Leann rimes
Because I’m all about value
Bert kaempferts got the mad hits
You try to match wits
You try to hold me but I burst through
Gonna make a break and take a fake
I'd like a stinking aching shake
I like vanilla, it’s the finest of the flavors
Gotta see the show, cause then you’ll know
The vertigo is gonna grow
Cause it’s so dangerous, you’ll have to sign a waiver

How can I help it if I think you’re funny when you’re mad
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
I’m the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Cant understand what I mean? Well, you soon will
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of taking off my shirt

It's been one week since you looked at me
Threw your arms in the air and said you’re crazy
Five days since you tackled me
I’ve still got the rug burns on both my knees
Its been three days since the afternoon
You realized it’s not my fault not a moment too soon
Yesterday you’d forgiven me
And now I sit back and wait till you say you’re sorry

Chickity china the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops ticking
Watching x-files with no lights on, we're dans la maison
I hope the smoking man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford I’m getting frantic
Like Sting I’m tantric
Like snickers, guaranteed to satisfy
Like kurasawa I make mad films
Okay I don’t make films
But if I did they’d have a samurai
Gonna get a set of better clubs
Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs just so my
Irons aren’t always flying off the back-swing
Gotta get in tune with sailor moon
Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes
That make me think the wrong thing

How can I help it if I think you’re funny when you’re mad
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
I’m the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Cant understand what I mean? you soon will
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of losing my shirt

It's been one week since you looked at me
Dropped your arms to your sides and said I’m sorry
Five days since I laughed at you
And said you just did just what I thought you were gonna do
Three days since the living room
We realized were both to blame, but what could we do?
Yesterday you just smiled at me
Cause it’ll still be two days till we say we’re sorry
It’ll still be two days till we say we’re sorry
It’ll still be two days till we say we’re sorry

Isn't it the perfect song for them? :-)

Zachary Quinto and David Anders

They are just the most handsome guys I have ever seen...and such nice people too. *sigh*

Lyle's League of Superheroes

Since I've always had a soft spot for the forgotten/small characters on Heroes I decided to give them their own place to go, which I called Lyle's League of Superheroes. These characters have gotten through the angst that seems to inhibit the more major characters on the show. Here they are in all their glory:

Lyle Bennet (played by Randall Bentley): Although he is supposedly the Bennet's biological son he is ignored for the more 'special' Claire. But what if he did somethingh about it? Like, I don't know, created a league of superheroes made up of people who were feeling like he was? And maybe he could develop a power along the way? Hmmm...

Monica Dawson (played by Dana Davis): basically the only female character (aside from Elle) I did not hate on the show. And she could kick some serious ass. So why did she suddenly disappear? Well, my opinion is that she joined Lyle's league because she got tired of waiting for things to happen. Hmmm...

Zack (played by Thomas Dekker): although we don't even know his last name (!) he also has some major plotholes in his storyline. Like where is he exactly? Well, he becomes Resurrection Man, able to resurrect people from the dead. He also joins Lyle's league because he got tired of waiting around for Claire to show up. Hmmm...

Claude Rains (?) (played by Christopher Eccleston): although we don't actually know his real name (!) he is one of the most interesting characters in the show. Plus he can become invisible - how cool is that? In my fanfics I usually refer to him as Greg or Chris. I don't know why, those names just seem to suit him. He joined the league because he got fed up with those major characters tripping around and messing everything up - Lyle's league helps clean up those messes as well as stopping some of them from happening. Hmmm...

Jackie Wilcox (played by Danielle Savre): although it appears that she is killed by Sylar, who mistook her for Claire, she in fact lives, due in part to Zack's timely rescue. She develops powers of her own, very mysterious ones at that. Zack introduces her to the league and she agrees to join. Hmmm...

Kimiko Nakamura (played Saemi Nakamura): yet another strong female character who is near forgotten - why is Hiro running his father's company when it looked like she was the more interested in that sort of thing? My explaination: she joined the league and so disappeared. Hmmm...

Micah Sanders (played by Noah Gray-Cabey): yes, I know he's in it again, as Rebel, but wouldn't it be cool if Rebel was just an arm of the league? *sigh* Yeah, I know, never going to happen. But a girl can dream, can't she?

Elle Bishop (played by Kristen Bell): Zack found Elle's burnt body on the beach and resurrected her. Now she works for the league where she has slowly gained a new belief in herself through the friendships of the people around her.

Adam Monroe/Takezo Kensei (played by David Anders): although Arthur supposedly kills Adam and takes his powers this was a clever decoy, made by the league so they could capture Adam and get him on their side. Thus the reason Arthur succumbed to the bullet - power only lasted for a limited amount of time. Heh. Adam now works for the league. Hmmm...

And that's Lyle's League of Superheroes. Lyle, Monica, Zack, Claude, Jackie, Kimiko, Micah, Elle and Adam. I know, it seems small but those are only it's American members (well, except for Kimiko, who is the leader of the Japanese members of the league). And guess what? Caitlin (played by Katie Carr) is one of their Irish members!

Do you want to be a member of the league? And you don't even have to have powers to be a member! Yay!
