Everything you said about HIMYM - agreed.

Totally agreed too about the Britney episode of Glee (though I love Rachel... and all of the characters, really). And I kind of loved Kurt's version of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand."

David Mitchell and Sean Lock are two of my favorites too.

(Random OMG: I know that I'm supposed to love that the last assassin is surviving over in Mafia, I so want this game to be over.)

OOOH Your icon!!! Ha! I love that quote so much. :) Just another reason why I love Duncan.

And I kind of loved Kurt's version of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand."
I mean, I like it. I just don't think it was the kind of song I would have picked for that particular moment... I... I don't know. It felt a bit off for me.

I only hope there will be more of them this season! :D

(I KNOW!!!!!! I'm mostly just curious now, though. But I guess that if I had been dead for as long as you have, I'd be wishing this game to be over a lot more too)

queer_theory October 13 2010, 02:41:53 UTC

Re: QI - The people appearing for the whole season are listed on Wikipedia, so I'm happy to say that both of them will be on again. :D

(I've been dead a long time, but also I know the answer. I'm just waiting for people to figure it out. :P)

di_br October 13 2010, 02:51:25 UTC

Yes, I remember seeing that list when the season started, but I forgot everything about it and I'm obviously too lazy to go check. :P
I remember noticing that David would show up in a couple more episodes, but I wasn't so sure Sean would.

(LOL Oh yeah you do!!! I'm resisting the urge to ask for clues, 'cause I know Rebecca doesn't like us discussing it outside the game.
I really can't wait to see who it is. I have a feeling I have it completely wrong.)

I hate Wilson's ex as well... she is fun sometimes, but... I'm always going to miss Amber (and Stacy, but that's irrelevant lol)
Love your header, btw ♥

di_br October 13 2010, 02:27:55 UTC

Wilson was clearly a lot happier with Amber... And I miss Stacy too!!!!
It's one of the reasons why I wasn't a fan of House/Cuddy, actually, because they're trying to make it seem like she was "the one that got away", when it was in fact Stacy.

Aww, thanks!!! :D

nella_malfoy October 13 2010, 04:02:38 UTC

Exactly!! I enjoyed House/Cuddy while it was all bickering and no love business lol
Season 2 seems so far away now... even more, Three Stories seems soooo far away!!! I'm liking the new season though, I just get nostalgic sometimes :D

di_br October 13 2010, 21:09:52 UTC

I enjoyed House/Cuddy while it was all bickering and no love business lol
Me too!!!! I actually rewatched one of the first episodes of the series a couple of days ago and it's made me miss the early seasons even more... I miss that show!

Aw, Three Stories... Remember when we didn't know what was wrong with House's leg? Oh, I miss those days...

This season is already going a lot better than the last one, at least. That's comforting.

I had NO IDEA about Abed's little background story til someone pointed it out on ONTD, and had to rewatch it, lol.

I called the QI hoax from the beginning, but it really screwed with my brain for the next half hour because I felt like I couldn't believe anything anymore D:

di_br October 13 2010, 21:13:01 UTC

lol I noticed him in the beginning, with the pregnant woman and I was all "Wait... what???" when they didn't even mention what that was about, so I payed extra attention to the background. lol I loved it!

hahaha I feel that way about every QI episode, really... It's really hard to believe anything they say. :P

... And I don't get why Morgana being Uther's daughter puts Arthur in any more danger than he already was before the revelation. He was already the heir to the throne, even if Morgana wasn't Uther's daughter, he'd still be the next in line to the throne if she killed Uther.

I think Gaius had addressed at the end that Arthur is the only one standing in the way of her taking the throne. It was like Gaius' warning to Merlin to make sure Arthur doesn't get killed when Uther dies, or something. :)

di_br October 13 2010, 21:14:09 UTC

But... it was already like this before, wasn't it? He was already the only one standing between her and the throne if she killed Uther. Why is Arthur in more danger now? I just... don't get it.

lunadeath02 October 13 2010, 21:28:28 UTC

I'm thinking it has to do with her being only known as the king's ward, therefore she wouldn't have the power to take the throne. Now she knows that she is of noble blood, hence her disappointment when the king wouldn't announce it to the world that she was his daughter. It's what I got out of watching. ^_^ (but how she will get it known to the world that she is his heir I have no clue)

di_br October 13 2010, 21:33:50 UTC

No, I get that she wasn't heir to the throne before... But she still wanted it, didn't she? She still wanted to rule Camelot somehow... or maybe help Morgause rule it. And so Arthur would still have been in her way if that was the case...
Unless her original plan was to just kill Uther. But then I don't get what she expected to do afterwards.

Arthur is in more danger from Morgana now because he is all that stand between here and the throne should Uther die.

I also find it odd that Merlin would go through the trouble of conjuring the Dragon again to save Morgana but that idea never crossed his mind when Arthur was dying at the beginning. SO CONFUSED.

YAY POOKY!!! \o/

di_br October 13 2010, 21:17:33 UTC

But he was already standing between her and the throne should Uther die, even before this happened. Why is he in more danger now?

SO TRUE!!! I just... don't understand what goes on in that boy's head sometimes...

heeee yes, Pooky!!!
I'm all nervous about this one... 'shippy vids are NOT my specialty. Especially angsty ones. And particularly slow songs, I always have a hard time with those...
*ahem* Basically, a lot can go wrong here. lol Which might explain why I still haven't actually started it, I'm all... nervous.

zed_pm October 13 2010, 21:23:11 UTC

The throne wouldn't have been hers if she hadn't have been his daughter. Morgana isn't royalty, she's just his ward.

Me neither. Sometimes I wanna slap him.

Don't be nervous! You can do it! I SHALL SUPPORT YOU! ;)

di_br October 13 2010, 21:30:14 UTC

But even if she wasn't heir to the throne, Arthur would be king if she killed Uther anyway, and somehow I think that wouldn't fit with her plans. Whatever they were.
... Unless her original plan was to just kill Uther and then be done with it.

ME TOO! I loved that he felt all guilty about almost killing Morgana, but then at the end almost did the same thing to her when he pretty much threw her to the wall. I don't get the way he thinks.

AW, THANKS!!!! :D
