throbbing light machine

watching:
Merlin
Oh shiny happy place of Arthuriana, how longingly I await you! I've been rewatching the end of the first series, and while I continue to be mystified at the putting down of sorceresses and old religions and the continued existence of Gaius, I really do heart this show. This is a chance for slash fandom to play with real, hard, culturally significant mythology - and there's nothing not excellent about that. Not to mention all those gorgeous new stills of Gwen being finally - finally! - styled well.

House
Mental institution! Married Chase and Cameron! (Chase and Chase? I hope not!)Wilson's LLB! The fact that the first episode seems to be House n Wilson alone, in the mental institution, just to two of them and their big gay lurve!

Dollhouse
I'm very dubious about this one. I don't feel that the later eps of the first season corrected any of the show's egregious rapeyness, and it feels like bugs crawling up my skin sometimes, and it makes me so angry. But I'm hoping that Joss will start taking the show seriously, now that it's a second season work, not just a little trifle destined for cancellation. Especially now that he's got Summer Glau and Alexis Denisof signed up - I can't imagine him writing as badly for Summer as he's written for Eliza, I just can't. So I continue to watch, from between my fingers, with hope.

Supernatural
Guys, don't even mention this one to me. We are so broken up it's not even funny. I just can't go anymore with a guy that doesn't respect me!

Stargate Universe
As if. I might be a new convert to the franchise, but I wasn't born yesterday.

Anything you guys think I really need to pick up?
