Only a small one this time because I feel it is my duty to take a moment to point out the most beautiful man in the Universe. His name is Matthew Bomer and he's on a new show called White Collar playing a convicted felon named Neal Caffrey. Seriously, take a look because this man is stunning. I think he actually makes my heart beat a little faster.

( Cut for pretties )

In a land of myth and a time of magic, I promised more picspams. I did not deliver. But now, with time on my hands and Sneaky Friends Who Persuade, I have returned with a brand new offering. Before you click and gaze upon my chosen pics and accompanying commentary, let me please point out that it is strangely difficult to find unintentional crack within such a cracked-up episode. I hope you will not be disappointed and, as always, please remember that I only poke fun at shows that I adore. I do not mean what I say. I don't mean that either.

All caps are by me and are free to take, use and alter. No credit required.



( TROLL! )

Yesterday, kitty_poker1, accioscar and I went to the British Film institute to see the premiere of episode 1 season 2 of Merlin. Despite feeling like complete crap, I had a wonderful day. Kitty and I did the London Eye and Aquarium earlier on in the day and then we met Scar outside the venue for the screening.

I'm not going to give away any spoilers, but I'd just briefly like to assure everyone on my flist who loves this show, that going by this first episode and the mix trailer, season 2 is going to be every bit as good as season one. And, yes, the slashy 'subtext' is still there in all its glory, starting about three seconds into episode 1. From the cheering and clapping, we slashers were clearly a majority. A children's event, they said! Silly BFI. They'll learn.

The Q & A afterwards was a lot of fun and I wish it had been longer. Funniest moment was the person who forgot Anthony Head's name and after umming and ahhing for a while simply called him Giles. WIN!

Kitty, Scar and I were in the front row and Colin and Bradly were a mere five feet away from us. I had several long internal debates about whether I should be staring at them or not. I couldn't help myself! They are both just as gorgeous in the flesh and Colin has the cutest smile I think I've ever seen. I need to think about it, but Colin/Merlin could be my new woobie. God knows I need someone to take over from Ianto Jones.

Bradley is a very funny man. His humour is slow and dry and more than once his way with words had Anthony Head giggling. Yes, Anthony Head is a giggler. It's official.

After the Q & A, lots of us gathered outside for the chance of another glimpse of the cast and maybe autographs. We were rewarded with Anthony Head and Katy McGrath. Kitty asked Tony if he would be attending Hallowhedon, but he hadn't heard anything about it. He did say he hoped Nicholas Brendon and James Masters wold pop over to see him if they were in the country. When I got my autograph, I had to have my usual fangirl moment and I told him he was 'the best king EVA!' He pulled up and puffed out, gave me a big smile and said 'thank you very much!'. Well, it's more or less proven now; I cannot go to a fan event without making a tit out of myself. Who remembers 'thank you for being so awesome!' to Burn Gorman at the Hub?

We weren't allowed to take photos at the event, but I manged to get in a couple before we were told to stop. Feel free to take them and use them, anyone. What's mine is yours etc. Dial-up people beware.

( Photos! )

He's a hot love god with a gun and a massive heart. He's the perfect man. Don't believe me? Click the cut and see for yourselves. literati, make sure you're sitting down.

Caps are by me and are from The Fisher King, Part One. You may take and use as you will.

Edit: Non-worksafe image in the comments. Anyone for some nekkid?

Those of you who watch Criminal Minds, please click the cut and view evidence of madness afoot.


( How did this happen?!?! )

Tomorrow I shall be posting a larger picspam illustrating the woobyness that is Spencer Reid, which will include Reid in Peril, Wet Reid, Reid with Puppy Eyes and Reid with Crazy Hair.

It's official. I'm sick. Blaaaah. From the sounds of it, I'm not the only one who came home from the Hub with a cold, but I don't really care because I loved every single second of it and a few germs is a small price to pay (the credit card bill was a slightly higher price, but let's not get into that again). Had a nice long bubble bath this morning and went for a walk out for chips and that brightened me up. Since then I've changed my LJ header and farted about with my layout without much success. I really feel like playing with photoshop some more so I might go do that now. I want to do a short TW picspam while I'm in the mood, then do my QAF pic spams before doing another Merlin one.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm going to do.

And while I'm doing that, you're all booking tickets to come to The Hub 3 with me in October, Y/Y?

This is probably the slashiest of all the episodes so far which, believe me, is really saying something. I went overboard so beware when you click the cut. 80 something pics.

Images capped by me and are free for anyone to take.




( I want that fabulous hat )

I capped this episode early last week with the intention of proving what a great episode it is. Unfortunately, when I reviewed the pictures for cropping on Sunday I discovered almost all caps were close-ups of Arthur looking pouty and gorgeous and Merlin looking cute and adorable. Whoops! Oh well. You guys don't mind, do you?



You'll also notice the banner says mini-picspam. That is a lie. Click for 40-something of the buggers.

( Ssssssnakes!! )

The purpose of this little picspam is one of persuasion, corruption and conversion. Look into my eyes; you will like Merlin.

Under the cut are sixteen smallish screencaps taken from the first episode, The Dragon's Call. Take a look, guys, and tell me you're not a little bit curious. For those of you who are already watching, have another look at the pretty boys, on me, my treat.
