That really is a lot of TV ...
Had one too many beers last night, so spent most of the day watching TV in one form or another. Caught up on QI (Sandy Toksvig and John Hodgman for the win), Have I Got News For You and Never Mind the Buzzcocks, then went out to see the All Blacks play the Barbarians at a friend's house. Now, I'm snuggled up on the couch, watched Merlin (please just let Arthur find out already) and just finished catching up on White Collar.
Holy fucking cliffhanger, Batman. I did not see that coming at all. Oh, maybe I've had a stray thought that it might have been Peter but never actually thought that it was the case. Shit. I can't wait to see how they are going to play it. Is he secretly evil, or doing it for other reasons? I don't quite know which one I prefer ... but nicely played, show, nicely played. Shit. Will have to watch episode again.
Also, there may have been some Strictly Come Dancing in there as well. I blame my friend who got me into it. It is genuinely quite entertaining, even if you have the grit your teeth through the Bruce Forsythe bits.
And this Radio 4 interview of David Tennant being interviewed by Catherine Tate is hilariously awesome. Oh David, such a geek. <3 (May be a UK only link, not sure, usually the radio programmes are okay).
Enemy at the Gate is reminding me why I had a crush on Joseph Fiennes for so long. Mmm, much more attractive with his real accent and glasses, and he can act. After watching too much FlashForward I needed reminding.
Must actually do things tomorrow. Possibly Christmas shopping that I am avoiding.
Also, have new temp job at least till Christmas. Yayness.
Edit: Totally forgot The Thick Of It was on tonight, but just watched now (love you iPlayer):
OMG Malcolm! OMG! They had to do it eventually, but I'm not sure if they're doing it for real or not. I hope not, because his comeback will be fucking epic and while the show would still be good without him, it wouldn't be quite as awesome. Malcolm is totally my favourite character. And that was a hell of an exit. "You will fucking see me again." He could cause some serious shit if he wanted.
I did find Nicola's reaction at the end interesting, because she did totally hang him out to dry. Will she start to feel guilty? And although Malcolm is a fairly epic pain in the ass, isn't he better than the other guy?
And Sam! Oh, Sam. She was really upset. I've always found her an interesting character, and her and Malcolm do actually seem to get on, and he totally defended her. Aw.
Awesome line: "You've moved from the man everyone loves to hate, to the man everyone just hates. Simon Cowell to Piers Morgan." Because that really is a perfect analogy.
Again, nicely played show. I can't wait for next week. At least I hope it's next week.
That was way more than I planned on typing. Somedays, TV is awesome.
