Dude, you guys!

To the three heathens that made me watch Luther:

Holy crap, you guys! That was amazing. I just... omg I want to marry that ending. It is very hard to get me to shout instructions at characters for like, fifteen straight minutes, but I so was. Also there was giggling and a muffled "oh my god." (The three of them are my OT3 of crime forever now, and I want criminal hijinks even though that would be completely angst-ridden, at least until Alice corrupted them properly. I was pretty cool toward her until the last episode, and then... yeah. ♥) I'm glad I waited until I had a free evening to finish the last two episodes together, though, because otherwise I'd be even more sleep deprived than I already am. Sigh. Actually, it had me from the moment Luther used the yawn trick. (I wanted to be the one to use that in popular entertainment.) Also the random out-of-nowhere nod toward Law and Order... But yeah... it's really all about those last two episodes.

Aaaand two two-hour specials this year? So excited!

As for the rest of you... you should probably watch Luther if you haven't already (I was a bit behind with this). Just saying. Everyone's life needs more British crime drama.

For those of you who are interested in nothing of the sort: I also made 16 pieces of spaghetti tonight that were each at least four feet long. It was awesome. But not at all in the same way Luther is.

I think if you're not already coming at it expecting it to be really great the first few episodes probably feel a little formulaic and very... I dunno, emotionally dense? And if you don't connect with it in that way it probably doesn't work at all (though I maintain the last episode would be awesome no matter your level of involvement with the characters... just not as awesome).

In the 5th episode, he has Justin send the details to "Detective Munch in New York, he's special victims unit." So, even without L&O proper at least some part of the universe lives on. (-;

I have not seen Misfits, nor had I actually heard of it until this point. How am I so completely out of the loop on these things?

Ahhhhh, that's fabulous, I completely missed that!

I've only just acquired the habit from Becca (as of, like, yesterday), and she just acquired the habit recently herself, never mind that the show's two seasons in. I think maybe I'd heard the name before? ...So, you're not alone in out-of-the-loopness. BUT YOU SHOULD WATCH IT. IT'S FABULOUS.

NATHAN AGREES. WITH HIS EYEBROWS. Also I think he might be checking you out a little bit.

DON'T JUDGE ME, BUT

I think I might be okay with that. ^_^;;

I'm just going to reply so I can use a Misfits icon.

I hadn't heard of Misfits until recently, either. It's sort of like if Skins and season one of Heroes had a baby that was better than both combined. It's about 5 British kids on probation who, while doing their community service, get hit by ~MAGIC LIGHTNING and get ~SUPER-POWERS. HOW CAN ANYONE RESIST A PLOT SUMMARY LIKE THAT?

...They're really, really crappy superpowers though. Which makes it BETTER.

I am so glad you guys are here to instantly supply me with other ridiculous addictions when I run out.

Hey, what are friends for, right? <3

You're right... I cannot resist that kind of plot summary.
