The Telly Meme
No, this isn't on the list of LJ-posts I must cover this weekend, but as I mentioned when compilng that list I'm a procrastinator. ;P
Snagged from candesgirl :
Post a favorite clip from your top five current shows, with a small explanation as to why you chose that clip. If you ever wanted someone to get involved in any of the shows you like, this is a great way!
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
I had to choose a clip from "The Nightman Cometh," for the pure and simple fact that it features the best musical ever (well, in my opinion anyway). The song featured is called "Dayman," and it was written by Charlie, who is essentially an idiot savant with a "talent" for song writing (well, I say writing but I actually mean pictures and little fragments of words that express his lyrics). This song is his trademark.
Doctor Who
I chose a Donna clip because, well, I love Donna. The previous scene is taken from "Partners in Crime," and shows the Doctor's and Donna's reunion. It also features mime.
Battlestar Galactica
While I loved Battlestar Galactica prior to seeing this scene for the first time, it was finally watching it that turned me into a fangirl. I can't say too much, because it contains massive spoilers for the season 3 finale, but the use of "All Along The Watchtower" is perfect.
Being Human
This clip was chosen because the man it features, George, is the reason I fell in love with this show. The clip depicts his transformation into a werewolf (which is quite awesome - let's just neglect to mention the muppet), and Russell Tovey's screams of pain are chilling.
Skins
Since youtube is failing in the embedding department with regards to Skins clips, I have to post links instead (and since I'm posting links, I decided to go with two. The first clip is here and is from the second series, in which the character of Chris Miles is trying to keep a job for longer than five seconds. It contains drug reference and some creative attempts at not swearing.
The second clip isn't actually a clip from rhe show itself. It's the series 2 uncut trailer, and it's just so dark and gorgeous that I couldn't not include it. It contains dark themes, and is of a somewhat orgy-ish nature.
And I couldn't do a favourite TV show meme and not include the following, even though it's no longer on air:
I don't really need to say more. Life on Mars + Camberwick Green = complete and utter pwnage.
