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.

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.

*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!

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

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.

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?

[teffy.livejournal.com]

I am SO excited for Kings. For reals.

...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.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

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

[mecurtin.livejournal.com]

They've made the Jonathan-equivalent gay and out. They re-named him "Jack" to fool the fundies. My hands are up and waiting.

[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.

[linaerys.livejournal.com]

Um, did I just spoil you?

No, because I totally asked :)

And wow, yes, yes, I cannot wait.

Here's hoping it's very good and very slashy. *clinks invisible drinks*

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.

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

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

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Let's do this MAN!

Check the icon!

Word!

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


I can SMELL the GK X-over now!

[antheia.livejournal.com]

We will totally be the Three Graces of Kings fandom.


I just cracked myself up so bad that I inhaled water.

To which I say, Hoorah!

Or should that be, Hoo Rah! [in a marine stylee]

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.

[loony-moony.livejournal.com]

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

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.**
