Ha, ha, poor suckers who will be trapped in a room and forced to watch slashy TV. Oh, right, that includes me, doesn't it? *points to Gilmore Girls icon*

Oooh, hey, can I request the episode you were talking about, with the cross-dressing in the tuxedo? (Uh, if I'm remembering that right.)

[nestra]

Oh, hell yeah. I mean, it's towards the end of the series, but at the very least, we can have a special viewing of those scenes.

Awesome! (And I just realized this evening that I could try to get some Maurice/Roy written for your birthday.)

Ooo. Hmm. Which Psych???

The one at the con. Because then they will LOVE MY GUS.

[shrift]

WHO DOESN'T LOVE GUS?! Wait, don't answer that question. Just sent Shawn to irritate them into submission.

Do you have all the seasons of Psych?

I like "There's Something About Mira" for Shawn's total sulkiness in the face of Gus/f, and the fact that Shawn and Mira are TOTALLY THE SAME PERSON. *G* "If You're So Smart Why Aren't You Dead" is also good in terms of showing off Shawn/Gus cuteness, plus an adorable Lassiter-Juliet subplot. If you have S3 I like "Lassie Did a Bad, Bad Thing" and "Earth, Wind and Wait For It..." as well.

I do have everything! I think. (I possibly should check to make sure I have all of season three.)

Thanks for the episode recs!

With Merlin, it's hard to beat episode 4 for sheer slashiness, but the pilot does have that incredible first meeting between Merlin and Arthur.

[shrift]

Indeed. I may have to force them to watch more than one episode.

Sorry I don't have ep titles, but, for Merlin, I think I would go for the one where they go rescue Merlin's village, which spreads awesome ALL around (Gwen, Morgana, SWORDS!), has Alex El Siddig in it (albeit wrapped in an evil muffler), and proves that it's not just the slash dragon who thinks they're doing it.

For Psych, I would second the recommendation of the one that takes place at the con with George Takei. If not that one, the American Duos ep (because it's AMERICAN DUOS; also, Gina Gershon and Tim Curry. If not that one, either of the Christmas episodes. Or the most recent finale. Or ... okay, with Psych, you just basically have to pick one that doesn't completely suck, and it's made of awesome. The one with the modeling is good!

Ha! Yes, exactly. I thought of the fandom ep or American Duos first off the top of my head too, but then as I started thinking more it was like, um, almost every ep is hilarious and ridiculously slashy, so...take your pick!

Ooh, great suggestion! Gwen and Morgana with SWORDS will definitely appeal to my audience.

As for Psych, I agree the convention episode probably is a good one.
