Isn't it

It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a bop_radar.

Which song was this lyric from?

You know what really is? The fact that this is my most hated song ever. Followed closely by 'Say My Name'.

In other news. I hate my job. And! OMG, this season has been a total borefest. Until episode 3.11! Which totally rocked! I can't express my happiness that Dexter asked Deb to be his best man! He should have, of course, done this from the start, but apparently they needed to write a whole season of boredom or something. *shrug* Deb as best man = perfect! Also, Deb all choked up about finding out Harry cheated on her mom was pretty amazing. I could not believe that Dexter let that slip... I mean, I see the psychology that led him to do so, but I still can't believe he was that sloppy. But who am I to complain when it means there is actual tension back in the series again (at last! I couldn't give a fuck about Miguel and found this season as unsuspenseful in inverse proportion to Season's 2 riveting).

That scene... where she found out! *heartthump* And then the one where Anton talked about the skinner... eeek!

And omg, how much do I love that DEB is now the one with a pal in the records department?!! \o/ She is THIS CLOSE. *makes squinty close fingers* I'm finally excited about the show again--pity there's only one ep left. :/

Of happyfulness is All He Wants For Christmas, mskatej's delightful exploration of Clark's feelings for Lois, Christmas 2008 (season villain notwithstanding)!

I use this icon in honour of Lee Week, which is most happy-making and which I insist is still continuing because:
a) I was terribly busy and need to catch up on some of the posts, and
b) it's always Lee Week.

Also, I may have succumbed to the gayness of both Merlin and Crusoe. Somebody saaaaaaave meeeeeeeee! (Oh whooops, wrong gay show.)

The eclectic-ity of this post is brought to you by South Australian shiraz and a really REALLY bad day at work.

I know it's not even trying to be a realistic medieval society, but I still find myself constantly trying to work out how it functions. And it's just so cleancut and cheery!

You've never watched Xena, have you? ;) We haven't seen peasants wearing fine gauze to show how poor they are, so it's doing pretty well in my book. The key is standards -- specifically, not having them. Didn't Smallville teach you that?

I like what they're doing as far as class is concerned. They're presenting a society where the social classes are of fairly recent vintage (c.f. the explanation in the Lancelot episode), so people individually relate on a fairly equal level, as long as the lowborn don't start expecting to have a say when Real People are conferring. It helps, of course, that any instance of Merlin's uppitiness being tolerated by Arthur gets whisked away, labeled and indexed, and stored carefully in the slash cabinet for future reference in proof that their relationship is Special. ;)

but Morgana could fight! And then they DID allow women to fight, totally undermining their own universe construction

YES! God, that annoys me. Most of my problems with Morgana revolve around how her behaviour and attitudes just don't make sense for who and what she is. Her and Gwen wearing trousers and fighting -- hot, but ...bzuh??

they're the same thing.

They aren't, at all. Chloe was the ordinary girl. She was distinctly not sweet or angelic. Lana's the one who fits that role in Smallville.

The only real complaint I have with Merlin's intelligence (above and beyond that of the entire cast) is why he's listening to the goddamn dragon. Why would anyone trust its knowledge, let alone its intentions? (Isn't anyone even afraid it will eat them?)

*rotfl* The dragon! Yeah. Seriously, why WOULD anyone trust it? It's a dragon. Merlin (show) does not stand up to close scrutiny at all. (I could never stomach Xena, so I'm thinking I have some kind of block where these cheesy reinventions of classic myths are concerned.)

I can sympathize with that. When I was little my best friend adored Xena, but I just couldn't bear the stupidity, but two years back in a fit of nostalgia I went and watched the entire series. It has... heart. Heart and lesbians, and very pretty countryside. The Labyrinth of Gedref is very Xena-esque. I used to be a total snob; something like Smallville would have been too wretched to put up with. Now, however, I can enjoy pretty much anything.
