Dave is here so I won't be online as frequently as usual. Yes, I can hear you all heaving a sigh of relief.

Pretty much all we have on the cards is copious DVD watching. So far we've watched the second Futurama film, Galaxy Quest and The Pilot of Supernatural.

It's funny, first of all I suggested to Dave we watch Merlin (of course) but he said he wanted to wait until it's finished and watch it all in one go. At least he wants to watch it though. Score. He said the same thing about Season 2 of The Sarah Connor Chronicles. When I suggested Smallville he threatened to eat his own eyeballs and then mine. Well, I have spent about two years telling him how bad it was ;)

He almost relented as he wanted to watch an episode with Bizarro in. I wasn't sure though. I think you need to have followed the plot to understand that episode. What do you think?

But he was happy to try Supernatural. Maybe because he wasn't expecting to like it so figured one episode would be enough.

He liked it. Hee! We're probably going to watch more tomorrow.

Apparently I did it no favours by describing it as Buffy with pretty boys ;) That's not the way to convince guys to watch the show or so I've been told.

Dave's only negative comment was the slightly clunky script which crams a lot of exposition in. I told him that gets better.

What I noticed was how young the boys look, how bad Sam's hair is and that the acting has improved a hell of a lot in 4 years.

I'm going to have to get my squishy cushion out for Bloody Mary and Provenance if we get that far so I can hide behind it ;)

Oh, and Dave brought me the second half of All-Star Superman so I can finally finish reading it.

Maybe I'll get Dave to watch Justice instead of Bizarro ;)

And totally unrelated to anything but how woobie is Arthur in Valiant? I'd totally forgotten! I was re-watching it looking for caps for my header and my god that boy needs a hug. I'll do it if Merlin is busy ;) I need Valiant comfort fic now.

I'll admit I did it for purely selfish reasons (I hate posting anything longer than a drabble without a beta) but I've put together a list of available beta readers in the Merlin fandom here if anyone needs it. I'm thrilled by the number of people who've signed up.

I'm feeling a bit like I'm flailing at the moment. I've got so much to do and seemingly no time to do it. I'm way behind on my TV and I currently have two episodes of Smallville to watch (three on Friday) which is more or less unheard of as well as a load of other episodes of various things. I still haven't finished unpacking from Germany, I've got Merlin icons to make and my [livejournal.com profile] merlin_the_elf fic to finish.

I see the holiday wishlist meme has started kicking around. I will post mine at some point and I'll be asking people to link me to theirs but I'm not sure how much I'll be able to get done this year.

Dave and Greg are amusing themselves playing Justice League Heroes but I think after that we will be watching some of the Justice League Cartoon.

I have fully indoctrinated Dave into Supernatural now. He did say he found it a bit formulaic after a couple of episodes, but Season 1 is. He liked a couple of the later episodes we watched but sadly not enough to get him to go off and buy it. Ah well.

On the other hand Dave decided that Sam is gay and in love with Dean. I should point out that I made no mention of slash or wincest when we were watching it. He reached this conclusion on his own.

We watched

The Pilot
Wendigo
Dead in the Water
Asylum
Bloody Mary
Provenance
Hell House

After that we were going to watch Bizarro until I realised I don't actually have it on DVD. For some reason I thought it was a Season 6 episode and I don't have Season 7 on DVD.

Instead we watched Justice and Dave liked it. I think if you're any sort of comics fan it's impossible not to like that episode. I love it.
