Wonderful nonsense

I'm going to watch the latest Doctor Who later tonight.  Until then, let me interest about two or three people in my squeeing about Merlin.  (Note: spoilers for Merlin 2x04, "Lancelot and Guinevere," but I'm not bothering to cut because  it just aired in the US, and I think anyone who cares has seen it.)

I just saw “Lancelot and Guinevere,” which featured what appeared to be giant naked mole rats!  I bloody love this show!   

I was gleeful when Morgana distracted kidnappers with her beauty and then kicked ass.  Gwen showed once again that she is just ridiculously brave.   Morgana’s pleas for someone to rescue Gwen are the stuff of which femslash is made.

Lancelot is great, even if he does complicate my already complicated shipping preferences for the show.  He’s smart and full of chivalry (not to mention hot), but alas, I fear that his self-sacrifice in leaving to attempt to stay out of the way of Arthur’s feelings for Gwen will come back to bite them all in the butt.  (Side note:  I remember reading some retelling of Arthurian legend at some fairly young age and thinking how sad it was the Guinevere was supposed to choose between Arthur and Lancelot when she loved them both, and wouldn’t it be nice if she could have both of them?  And thus was my first OT3 born.  Then along came this goofy show, and suddenly it's OT-most of the cast.)

In conclusion, release the kraken man-eating giant naked fucking mole rats!

Has nothing to do with Merlin, but I'm having way too much fun figuring out all the different meanings of "man-eating giant naked fucking mole rats", depending upon where the hyphen/m-dash is placed.

*tries*

Ow, my brain.

*snort* I'm glad you're amusing yourself.

I loved this episode for all the reasons you cite and feel the exact same way about both Arthur/Lance/Gwen and man-eating giant naked fucking mole-rats. :D

Have you seen the new Doctor Who yet? Because I really want to hear your thoughts.

Oh, shiny, I hadn't remembered that you watched Merlin. Hooray for man-eating giant naked fucking mole rats!

I have indeed seen the new Doctor Who! Do you mean just this season in general or "The Time of Angels" in particular? I'm generally loving this season (aside from the Dalek episode, which was overall lousy). "Time of Angels" I mostly liked, though River Song rubs me the wrong way. I want to post longer thoughts later, but right now the internet at home is not functioning and I'm just grabbing a few moments in a coffee shop.

However, I will say this for now: Steven Moffat is trying to kill us through our TVs/monitors!!! Ack!

I do, but I get British TV, so you're just watching stuff I saw back in October or November -- it's not very fresh on my mind.

I knew you'd seen some of the new series, but I was wondering about Time of Angels. It seems we feel similarly, at least in the broad strokes!

... Thanks for saying that. *looks over shoulder*
