1. Kings premieres this Sunday on NBC at 8pm. Raise your hand if you're already thinking about the slash opportunities. Biblical slash, people, Old Testament style. Now with canon gay characters! Is everybody's really going to hell this time? Hey, at least it's informative religious studies; I'll bring my rollerskates. Where are the comms?

2. NBC announced their summer schedules, and MERLIN (yes, that Merlin) has been bumped from Winter 2009 to this summer. In fact, Merlin will premiere on NBC on June 21st at 8pm. Put it in your Crackberries.

3. Last night, everybody's Favorite Jewish Boyfriend (TM) (no, the other one) Jon Stewart, took Jim Cramer from CNBC out in the street and delivered the kind of awesome verbal smackdown that will require five minutes alone in a quiet place.

4. Leave Michael Phelps the fuck alone. It was weed, not ground up baby seals, people! Jesus, the hypocrisy burns, Matt Lauer who suspiciously traded in his last wife for a younger model.

5. Just two more episodes of BSG? Really?! SADNESS!

6. GK people, is PJ's interview from The Guardian up yet? I cannot find it among the 15,000 links on the website.

6. Is it time for summer telly yet? because I have nothing to watch until then. Really. No Mad Men, Leverage, Burn Notice, Psych, Merlin (yet again), Desperate Housewives of Atlanta... Tabitha's Salon Takeover (oh, come that's hysterical). Right now I have...zero shows. (BSG is nearly gone). Sadness. I shall go watch Skins or something. Also, 2 people who love(d) Skins, I had a dream the other night where Maxxie was in bed with Tony, but Tony's an ass, so this was distressing as hell.

Heh. Tony and Maxxie - you've seen obsessive24's vid, right? Anyhow, Maxxie is basically the only one who doesn't get bothered by Tony's crap and who can really handle him, without Tony feeling like he has to put on a show and take care of Maxxie. Which I find really amusing.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

No, I do not know this vid, where can I find it?

[thehoyden.livejournal.com]

Is it time for summer telly yet, bescause I have nothing to watch until then?

Oh, I KNOW. I miss my tv! When Tabitha guested on Make Me A Supermodel, I think I actually cackled with glee. And I need more Leverage, as soon as possible.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Make me a Supermodel is incredibly disappointing this year. I mean they are some of the most unattractive models ever. Except for Sandhurst, who needs to be the next Tyson.

[scribblinlenore.livejournal.com]

*raises hand* I am just ridiculously looking forward to the Biblical slash being on my TV.

Also, so true about Michael Phelps. Oh my God. Almost everyone smokes pot at least once in their life. Get over it already!

I have recently discovered the joys of Leverage! I can't wait until it comes back!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

LEVERAGE is the bomb! I don't suppose Team Lenore is thinking about writing some Alec/Eliot is she? Or maybe some OT3 banter? Writing them is a lot more fun than I thought it would be.

Also, so true about Michael Phelps. Oh my God. Almost everyone smokes pot at least once in their life. Get over it already!

Seriously, I don't say this lighty, but this smacks of persecution. I mean damn.

[thornsilver]

I can't wait for "Kings". And, especially the upcoming slash. I think "Merlin" may have whetted my appetite for royalty slash.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I just keep thinking, new toy! new toy! (see icon)

[antheia.livejournal.com]

1. You do know that I am ALL OVER Kings, right? YES. Let's do this. So is fryadvocate, btw. Come on, McShane, bring the inevitable awesome. 2. Oh, good.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Let's do this MAN!

Check the icon!

[linaerys.livejournal.com]

Raise your hand if your already thinking about the slash opportunities. Biblical slash, people, Old Testament style.

I have both hands raised. And it's possible I'm flicking a lighter with one. I might end up being incredibly disappointed by this, but right now I am so excited.

...canon gay characters? You mean besides how the Biblical Jonathan and David were gay for each other?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

...canon gay characters? You mean besides how the Biblical Jonathan and David were gay for each other?

YES! I was reading a trade article the other day with the creators and Jonathan, henceforth known as Jake? Canonically gay. Um, did I just spoil you? Crap. My bad.

[teffy.livejournal.com]

I am SO excited for Kings. For reals.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Word!

[lazulus]

Oooh. Kings looks interesting! I love McShane, he can bring the awesome.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Old testament retelling with canonical gay characters in a war setting. It's like Christmas. Early.


I can SMELL the GK X-over now!

1. Biblical slash, people, Old Testament style. Now with canon gay characters!

Dude. Tell me you're not kidding. :D

3. I love it when Jon is all righteous anger and eloquence. He's kind of incredible.

5. I'm scared to watch the last eps of BSG. I don't want it to end, and yet, I want them to be in a better place than they are now. I'm just not sure I can trust Moore not to kill them all.

6. There's still Chuck, if you're still watching that.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

1. Nope, canonical gay characters. Jonathan is now Jake, who is gay.

2. I knew we were down to the wire, but just two more? SADNESS!

3. No, no Bryce, no real interest in Chuck. I've had it on the background and continue to think Zach Levi is adorable, but it's like... Muzak.

[loony-moony.livejournal.com]

JON STEWART. I JUST. I DON'T. HOW ARE YOU SO FULL OF WIN?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Your icon makes me feel tingly.

[silviakundera.livejournal.com]

I had a dream the other night where Maxxie was in bed with Tony, but Tony's an ass, so this was distressing as hell.

HEE. I really used to love to hate Tony in S1. So deliciously dastardly!

Speaking of Tony & in bed, see: Maxxie
Have you read this? I totally loved it.
Deep Space (http://riflethrough.livejournal.com/29172.html) by riflethrough, Tony/Maxxie/Anwar PWP
2,366 words. Set sometime during series 1. Question: How to you do a "Aliens Make Them Do It" fic for the Skins fandom? Answer: Magic Mushrooms!

And since I'm rec'ing... to support your crazy dreamscape, here's one of the few Maxxie/Tony fics I have bookmarked:
Settling for Second Best (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=x_moonshine_x&keyword=Skins+Fanfic:+Settling+for+Second+Best.&filter=all)
AU post 1x7, Maxxie & Anwar. "After the inevitable happens, Tony talks Maxxie into coming to Brighton with him for a few nights, because, quite frankly, there isn’t anyone else."

Sequel to "Settling for Second Best: The Definition of Normal (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=x_moonshine_x&keyword=Skins+Fanfic:+The+Definition+of+Normal.&filter=all)
**Set Post-S1, spoilers for S1 finale.**

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Oh, you love me, don't you? *goes off to wallow in wrongness*

[silviakundera.livejournal.com]

oh, and if you're looking for interesting things to watch... did you catch the brit tv series Survivors that finished airing like a couple months back? Basically "The Stand", but modern day and in England. I found it on the internets and liked it quite a bit. S1 has aired so far, and it had 6 episodes.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

The Stand? Isn't that Stephen King? I don't do Stephen King, dog.

[nicolasechs.livejournal.com]

1. OMG YES. I want Jake/David like *now*. *makes grabby hands*

[blueandomlettes.livejournal.com]

really nothing to watch?? no mas Chuck or Heroes love?? also have you heard anything about new Entourage?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I haven't watched Heroes in years. And I only ever really liked Chuck for Bryce. No Bryce, no interest. Oh, and Entourage should've been put out to pasture like three seasons back.

[ariadne83]

I watched Stewart with my husband and he was laughing so hard he could hardly breathe. So. Brilliant.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I have watched it four times so far. It's just... finally, somebody with a brain holding someone else accountable! It's shocking.

[norabombay.livejournal.com]

I love me some NBC.

Kings is already set for the TIVO. I had no clue they were going to do Merlin this summer.

And of course there is this L&O: SVU Production Blog (http://blog.nbc.com/laworder_svu/production_blog/hi_everyone_3/index.php)

Skip to question 3: "Is Benson Gay? Let us know."

I. I. I think I love them a little bit.

[firesprite1105.livejournal.com]

Have you tried watching Dexter on Showtime? Seasons 1 and 2 are out on DVD and I've been watching them on Netflix, and the show is nuanced and well-acted and incredible.

(And whoever did the title credits has my undying worship, because maybe only Carnivale on HBO had opening credits that summed up the gist of the show as well as Dexter's does.)

[randomeliza.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT "KINGS". YOU ARE MY SLASH HERO FOR ALERTING ME TO THIS.

*flail*

[dragondie.livejournal.com]

Jonathan/David= Old Testament otp! I love Skins. I am more Sid/Tony shipper, but different strokes and all that. Have you seen any of season three yet? It's kinda Effy heavy but still pretty win.

[soul_cake_duck]

About the PJ interview:
RE:Questions passed on to Ransone. I think we are expecting his answers early next week. We would have liked to set up a live online chat but it just couldn't be fitted into the schedule

I had no idea you watched Skins. I ♥ Maxxie. Must finish S2 someday.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I want my Ray-Ray NOW!

[hola-viola.livejournal.com]

Uh, hi!
You don't know me, but I couldn't resist recommending this lovely Maxxie/Tony vid I stumbled on a while back.
Honestly, this vid is what made me start watching Skins.

I will check it out, thanks!
