MI-5 : comments [Collected Thoughts]

Isn't it fabulous? I've been pimping it nonstop to everyone, although it didn't do much good because of its unfortunate time slot against The Queer Eye. A&E is moving the show an hour earlier to Tuesday 9 PM, which isn't that great either because it's then going against The O.C., which I also love (but in a much more guilty-pleasure type way), and which already has a sizeable fanbase, including many Buffistas.

I was a convert by the end of episode 2, "Looking After Our Own", a.k.a. the Undercover Secretary and the Deep Fryer of Doom. The show brings the angst like no one's business. I long for MI-5 fic, but I don't think enough people are watching it. More's the pity.

I was just coming here to say ... ping

vonnielake ... she's into it.

The OC is being moved to Thursday (against Coupling and CSI). I'm not sure what'll end up in the Tuesday spot.

I hadn't realized that Coupling was going up against CSI, that sucks. I guess I can tape Coupling to watch later.

I was watching the Deep Fryer thinking "ohgodohgodohgodNOOOO!!!" The show reminds me of Ultraviolet, which was the 6 episode miniseries about vampires.

I haven't watched The OC, the premise didn't really impress me and I then I think it was another show that premiered when I was at the beach.

If anyone interupts me during tonight's episode of MI-5 I may hurt them.

I'm not sure how many new episodes of MI-5 there are left.

I believe that the Brits just finished Season 2 which probably means that Season 3 is a while off. (Also, the evil cliffhanger from last week? That was the Season 1 cliffhanger. We're just lucky to get Season 2 starting tomorrow night!)

I should have figured out that Lesser of Two Evils was the season finale--it was the sixth episode. I'm really glad I don't have to wait a long time to see what happens. It's hard enough just waiting until 9.

I know! That cliffhanger might have killed me!

I found one story on Silverlake, it was based on a Season 2 episode though so I couldn't judge anything about the story.

A Brit friend of mine tells me she's writing a Tom Quinn/Peter Salter (ASH's character) slash. I shall pimp it far and wide as soon as she finishes it, since she's a kick-ass writer and I'm sure the story will be fabulous. At this point, my main goal is to talk about the show as loudly and as often as possible in the hope that some of the writers in the vicinity would take pity on me and start supplying me with some quality Tom angst. I think it's a workable plan.

Hey, more Spooks fans! LJ has been a veritable treasure trove of discovery today!

Four stories that I know of:

And No One Hears You Scream (http://www.livejournal.com/users/littledrop/35423.html)
Unlike a Living Head (http://www.livejournal.com/community/spooky_doings/803.html)
Night Sweats (http://www.devinemadness.com/kittyfisher/sweats.htm)
The Old Lie (http://www.livejournal.com/users/kittyfisher/83858.html)

"Unlike a Living Head" and "The Old Lie" are set at the end of season two, so please beware the spoiler warnings. Also,

spooky_doings is a fiction/discussion group just getting off the ground. We'd love a few new members... *hint*

Oh, before I forget, I've been stealing images from the BBC website to make images if you're looking for icon fodder. They're not great, but they'll do at a pinch. Find it here (http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/spooks/index.shtml).

Hey, thanks for the fic recs. I shall stash the bookmarks until I've had the chance to see the episodes in question.

I heard about Spooky Doings, and would have joined but for my weak will when it comes to spoilerish things. Seriously, I had to remove the BBC Spooks homepage bookmark from my computer because I was so damn tempted to look up the episode summaries. If I joined, I'd totally cave sooner and later and peek in under the cut-tag, and that way lies madness and grief. Or something.

But soon as the season 2 finishes airing, I'm so there.

Hey, thanks for the fic recs.

Hmm. I'm not so sure I can call them recs - they are literally the only stories out there (to my knowledge), so it's a case of desperate pickings. Having said that, Kitty's two stories ("The Old Lie" and "Night Sweats") are good, so I can guess you can call those recs. And I feel obliged to come clean: the other two are by me, so that's self-pimpage of the worst kind. But I wouldn't have done it if there were more stories to point at. *g*

But soon as the season 2 finishes airing, I'm so there.

I'm so glad! I well understand the evil temptation of spoilers. They do the debil's work.
