walkingshadow has produced the most perfect post for my current mood so I am pointing to it so that all may enjoy:

How To Tell If Your Pain is ~Manpain~

(in a tv/fannish context, obvs)

+ Also, yesterday out of curiosity and the fact I am firmly in procrastination-mode, I watched Misfits, that new ~Skins-meets-Heroes~ crossover thing on E4? (I was warned, and ( Read more... )

I followed that link and actually, I SHIT YOU NOT, almost spat tea all over my laptop. IT WAS THE SINGLE CRYSTALLINE TEAR THAT DID ME IN.

And also, yeesh, Harold Overman has written some of my FAVOURITE episodes, wtf. I saw the adverts for Misfits and thought it looked good but once again a middle class white man fails at writing about people who are NOT middle class and white, what a surprise!

ROFL I SOUND SO BITTER, IGNORE ME. I think Merlin's genderfail is making me less forgiving than usual.

IKRRR. I BLAME THAT HEADER I MADE YOU, NOW I HAVE AN AXE TO GRIND IN EVERYBODY'S FACE. IT'S YOUR FAULT.

But no, that show is HORRIBLE. Idk if you watched it, but there's this one sequence during the episode that just might be the most skeeved I have ever been by ANYTHING I've watched on a TV series.

THE HEADER ACTUALLY CHEERS ME UP BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE MORGAUSE PWNED SOME GITS.

Ugh, I am not sure I can bring myself to watch it, from what you've said. It'll just make me feel sick and angry.

Yeah, if you haven't, DON'T. You'd react the same way I did if our chats are anything to go by.

Have to admit - I did like it. However, the more I thought about it, the more skeeved out I got. And now I feel more than a little sick, so.

Yeah, I had a more immediate response in this case but there are some things where it takes a little while before I take a second to think and it HITS ME, so I know just what you mean.

THANK GOD someone else thinks misfits is rubbish! I swear 4 people on my flist who have watched it are all saying positive things and I am all "Um..are we watching the same show?" Lol. It was so painfully bad. I kept pausing because I was so embarrassed.

Someone compared it to Being Human and I instantly went into defence mode. Who knows maybe Misfits just needs to find it's footing and it will get better, but in all honesty the first episode was just, so, bad.

I understand that some people may be watching a different show, or watch for different things! It happens, but for ME personally, I won't be watching again, kthnx. :P

Er, comparing THAT to Being Human is like comparing matter and anti-matter. OMG.

Oh no, Misfits is that bad? I was thinking of watching it. And now I'm curious to watch it just see how cracky it gets. This is bad!

The Manpain flowchart is MADE OF WIN.

Yeah, I don't recommend it. It looked really interesting to me because the mix of genres seemed relevant to my interests, but there was too much fail to enjoy it. For me anyway.

Ahaha I know, it was hilarious.
