marguerite_kruxWhee! Dollhouse is airing on Foxtel next week! *dances*
I wasn't all that interested when I first heard about it, especially considering the premise- seems a little squicky, reprogramming people to fulfil their clients' fantasies? Um...I'm kinda uncomfortable with it right now, but I'll wait and see if the show changes my mind. What did intrigue me is the lady boss- yes, I have a type, shush- Adelle DeWitt. She sounds awesome, and I am such a sucker for the tough woman who is all cold and ruthless and scary, while being a little bit tender and rather lonely on the inside. *quivers with anticipation*

Merlin woe. I knew this show was going to stomp my heart into the ground, but did it have to be so SOON?!
An article on the second season states that Gwen will begin 'her difficult journey towards becoming the Queen Guinevere of legend' and this con report mentions that the focus in the second season will be on the Arthur/Gwen romance- whoop de frakking do. *sniffles* The only mentions of Morgana are that her relationships with Gwen and Merlin will be developed. AWESOME. So everyone else except the one person I ship her with! God, I might have to switch and make Uther/Morgana my main ship if they're determined to shoot down my ship so early. I'd hoped to at least have another season where the writers multi-ship everyone and stray far and wide from the legends. *wibbles* Why be tied down by canon when they've disregarded and rewritten so much already?!
Googling brought me to this snippet of an interview with Katie McGrath- so at least, even if things are screwed on the shippy side, we get to see Morgana's abilities developed beyond the Medium-esque 'bolt upright in bed, shaking and breathing heavily in fear' after yet another nightmare. I hate how passive her 'powers' are, it'll be great to see her take it up to another level, although I really don't want her to become a full-on villain. I LOVED Nimueh, who was a very sympathetic 'villain' and totally didn't deserve that lame-ass ending, so maybe Morgana's gonna take on her role?

The Mentalist rambling:
I've been ruminating- and by ruminating, I mean pondering, not chewing cud- what is the significance of this scene? Jane is not Charlie Crews, he hasn't had some weird sort of fruit fetish established since the first episode, as far as I know...could it be that this is a hint of the direction season 2 will take? Instead of episodes styled in a red theme: Red Rum, Crimson Casanova, Scarlett Fever and so on, perhaps the new season will have a new color theme? Agent Orange, Tangerine Sunset, Death by Apricot...

*cracks up laughing* HOW AWESOME IS MY CAST?! *cuddles them* God, I hope we get some good bonus features on the dvd, I want to see more of them mucking around and having fun! :D
It's weird, though, watching this interview and hearing Simon Baker's Australian accent, it's so strong! And Owain, yikes, I never realized he had a British accent, it's hysterical! Just doesn't seem to fit him at all...it makes everything he says twice as funny, 'There's such a presence and ferocity of Lisbon in 'business mode' that- even though we don't fit in the same two shot [lmao!]- I've never felt anything other than her authority...'
ETA: The dvd release isn't til September 22! How am I going to wait that long, goddamnit?! Especially when I see that there is a gag reel being included... *glees*
