Okay, who on my flist watches Chuck? Show of hands, please.
If you don't, let me pimp for a moment. Chuck is show about a guy named Chuck (surprise, surprise), who was kicked out of college, had his girlfriend stolen by his best friend, and has been working at a dead-end computer repair job at Buy More for the last five years. Then his former best friend sends him an email that uploads the entire NSA and CIA databases into his head.
Why you should watch this show:
-it's Get Smart meets Alias
-it only gets better in the second season.
- it has platonic, familial, and romantic relationships, and all of them are treated as important.
-the writing is consistently top-notch.
- it's funny. And honestly funny, not fake sitcom funny.
-it's dramatic. When they want to rip your heart out, they do.
-Adam Baldwin.
-fantastic action sequences. In which the main heroine kicks so much ass.
-great outfits.
Now, if anyone on my flist has actually watched this show, I would love to squee about it in all it's spoilery glory and find out what other people thing about the game-changer finale.

Judging from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fandom_secrets, there appears to be a segment of the Merlin fandom that is both
a.) disappointed
and
b.) surprised
that the show is going to make Guinevere/Arthur canon, instead of Merlin/Arthur.
....
To which I can only ask, were you dropped on the head as a child? Did you actually think the BBC was going to change the CORE of the Arthurian legend in order to fulfill your slash fantasies? Really now. I can understand being disappointed, but don't be dumb about it. You should know that the family-centric show is not going to change an epic, classic myth to be progressive. (Not saying I don't want gays on my child-friendly programming, but that particular set of homosexuals was never going to happen.)
