Mmm, slash...

Has anyone else seen that BBC show, Merlin? I've only watched about fifty minutes of it, but already it's slashtastic. It's reminding me quite a lot of early Smallville, actually. Merlin is Clark: poor boy with amazing powers he can't tell anyone about. Arthur is Lex: rich kid, son of a super-powerful father who's heavy on the pressure and light on the love. Merlin falls - somewhat reluctantly - into the role of Arthur's protector, and I'm sure it will end up bringing them closer together. Pretty much exactly like Smallville.

This makes me really, really happy. I definitely like the show so far.

ETA: I WANT MERLIN/NARNIA CROSSOVERS NOW PLEASE.

Yay!

So I believe it was deeper_shallow who recommended Profit to me after reading my list of 20 Hottest Fictional Characters.

After watching the first half of the pilot on YouTube, all I can say is thank you. I mean, it's completely cheesy in that 90s sort of way, but Adrian is wonderful as the title character.

God, that scene where she was dreaming about him choking her up against the wall...that was fantastic. I want that dream!

Ah, and his lovely, lovely voice...deep and gravely and just so damn sincere, even - especially - when he's lying.

And he's so deliciously touchy-feely, going after people when they're vulnerable and just slipping in past their defences. Brilliant.

Yay for two new shows in one night!

Now if only my knitting would behave itself...
