Merlin stuff

I've just pre-ordered vol 1 of S2 of Merlin since it's out in just over a month

So, it seems I have missed a whole load of the behind the scenes thingies that have been airing between episodes. Can I download them anywhere? I'm particularly keen to see one that has Bradley messing around with his camera at a train station? I don't know someone mentioned it at the meetup today and it sounds amusing.

Oh, and watch this again because it still makes me grin like a loon. Oh, boys &hearts

Well, it didn't make me cry this time but my god it's still heartbreaking. If you're not familiar with the comics it's essnentially an AU version of The Justice League wherein the Superman character instead of being raised by Ma and Pa Kent he's raised by the US government to be used as a weapon. It's SO sad! Absolutely brilliant though. I rank it up there with The Ultimates (before Mark Millar stopped writing it) and Red Son.

Onto the next volume now and I hope it's at least a little bit happier.

Castle

Watched two episodes of Castle, I'd forgotten how much I love it. I think I love Rick's relationship with his family even more than his relationship with Beckett.

Shall watch some more tomorow I think. Now I'm going to work on my Beauty and the Beast fic. I at least want to have Jared and Jensen meet today. LOL!

Then I'll do the Faith icons

Funny

I just realised that two years ago I wrote As Old As Time which was very loosely based on Beauty and the Beast. Now, at almost exactly the same time two years later I'm writing another Beauty and the Beast fic for an entirely different fandom. Hee! It's not even my favourite fairy tale.
