1. Kings premieres this Sunday on NBC at 8pm. Raise your hand if you're already thinking about the slash opportunities. Biblical slash, people, Old Testament style. Now with canon gay characters! Is everybody's really going to hell this time? Hey, at least it's informative religious studies; I'll bring my rollerskates. Where are the comms

Raise your hand if your already thinking about the slash opportunities. Biblical slash, people, Old Testament style.

I have both hands raised. And it's possible I'm flicking a lighter with one. I might end up being incredibly disappointed by this, but right now I am so excited.

...canon gay characters? You mean besides how the Biblical Jonathan and David were gay for each other?

YES! I was reading a trade article the other day with the creators and Jonathan, henceforth known as Jake? Canonically gay. Um, did I just spoil you? Crap. My bad.

Um, did I just spoil you?

No, because I totally asked :)

And wow, yes, yes, I cannot wait.

They've made the Jonathan-equivalent gay and out. They re-named him "Jack" to fool the fundies. My hands are up and waiting.

I am SO excited for Kings. For reals.

Word!

Oooh. Kings looks interesting! I love McShane, he can bring the awesome.

Old testament retelling with canonical gay characters in a war setting. It's like Christmas. Early.

I can SMELL the GK X-over now!

To which I say, Hoorah!

Or should that be, Hoo Rah! [in a marine stylee]

Dude. Tell me you're not kidding. :D

3. I love it when Jon is all righteous anger and eloquence. He's kind of incredible.

5. I'm scared to watch the last eps of BSG. I don't want it to end, and yet, I want them to be in a better place than they are now. I'm just not sure I can trust Moore not to kill them all.

6. There's still Chuck, if you're still watching that.

1. Nope, canonical gay characters. Jonathan is now Jake, who is gay.

2. I knew we were down to the wire, but just two more? SADNESS!

3. No, no Bryce, no real interest in Chuck. I've had it on the background and continue to think Zach Levi is adorable, but it's like... Muzak.

Oh, brilliant! Now I'm psyched.

As for Chuck. I feel like the absence of Bryce is its own character (and I don't like absence-of-Bryce, he's a douche). Every episode I have moments of "Bryce would say something here" or "Bryce would fix this" or "Bryce, it's hug times now". Like, Bryce would have so kicked that Cole character's arse for endangering Sarah and Chuck. I miss Bryce :(

Your icon makes me feel tingly.
