It's totally the fault of writing the Merlin&Will fic that I went and watched 'Skins'. 'Cos when I mentioned Will in the past, people'd say, "Oh, you mean that guy from Skins!" So, with a renewed interest, off I went intertubing through the 'net, and went straight for the episode called 'Chris'. Who is of course the character Will plays.

THE THING IS. I was in the library at the time, working on my statistics homework and watching internet TV. (I caught up a bit with 'Heroes' during it. Since my homework was mostly grunt work and 'Heroes' has become mediocre, the two of them combined kept my mind fully engaged.) SO. The first scene was Will having an erection, then pissing on himself, and then we get a gratuitous ass shot. I was like, "WOAH, TONE IT DOWN THERE, WE'RE IN PUBLIC. (NICE BUTT!)" But I figure no one ever looks at anyone else's computer screens anyway (...right?) so whatever. But then we get to the part where that girl and that guy who looks familiar were taking off their clothes, and that was the end of watching 'Skins' in the computer lab.

THAT GUY, WHO LOOKS FAMILIAR? Is that kid from 'About a Boy'! wtf?! The kid from 'About a Boy' was taking off his clothes on the library computer!

omg, this show is hilarious. It's just a little off-beat and cute, and FUNNY, and I just wanna hang out with Sid. It's got excellent moments, like Will standing in the middle of the road with the boner of death and a broken heart. And Sid whole's interaction with that messed up girl in the beginning, hahaha. And everyone sleeping together in a big dogpile in the living room <33 omg adorable. And everything about Will and the wardrobe omfg, hilarious and heartbreaking and absurd. I'm watching it as I'm writing this. You guys who watch 'Skins', which episodes have the most Will in them?

omg Will's butt is all over the place! All scenes involving Will's butt are awesome, especially the one with the guy in the bathtub.


Elle/Claire is pretty sexy and feels like boyslash. Claire/HRG is still inappropriately heated. [OMG WILL'S EMO RUN THROUGH THE PARK <33333. Wiiiilllllll. And the scene at his dad's house? Holy shit. Good stuff.] Elle/Sylar, I like it when she was shooting lightning bolts at him in revenge. But then they made out and it was too soon. I might feel Peter/Claire where I didn't before. And Nathan&Peter bromance is still awesome.

I noticed I was liking things that I hadn't liked before: Claire's valiant brattiness and the dweebing down (a.k.a. rushed redemption) of antagonists. 'Heroes': I'd only think it's good if I were doing statistics homework?

It's been a good week for TV-watching on the internet. Still don't care about 'Lost'. (MAKE ME CARE AGAIN, 'LOST'.) Randomly getting into 'House' again. Of that I have this to say: House/Cuddyyyyyy. OH AND 'KINGS'. Let me tell you about 'Kings'. It's like this:

Kings = Merlin - crack + srs bsns

It's a 'Merlin' Americanmonarchy!AU. If I described bits of the first episode using no names, you wouldn't know which show I was talking about. The crazy king, the bratty prince, the valiant parvenu, and ~*~DESTINY~*~. Arthur/Jack, guys?!

You need to watch Skins properly. For serious. It's only ten episodes per series, and it is like crack. Like really good crack. (Like my own personal brand of heroin?) All the characters are in all the episodes, but they tend to be in their episode the most. Chris is also in Jal's episode a lot in the second series. But do try to watch all of them in order! It's more fun if you've kept track of who's fucked who. (Also, don't know if you've noticed yet, but other famous people on Skins include Dev Patel, pre-Slumdog Millionaire.)

HAHA I did not notice it was Dev Patel until you guys told me. I was halfway through the Tony episode when I exceeded the Megavideo bandwidth or whatever. I have cognitive dissonance looking at Tony being the smooth leader of the pack, 'cos I just keep on thinking "Kid from About a Boy!"
