Okay, so with only minimal encouragement from clea2011 (ie. I suggested I was thinking of doing it, and she agreed with me), I've posted a live watch thread for Atlantis ep 3 over on atlantisbbc. (live watch post is HERE)
Please come over and join in, otherwise I'm going to get quite lonely!
(PS. I also plan to be joining in the live watch with Cordy at sarahparishfans as I have for the last two weeks. This could get quite confusing trying to do two threads at once, *and* watch the programme. Clearly I am insane...)
I'm normaly a bit iffy of live watches, as I tend to miss quite a lot of the actual programme because I'm too busy commenting. But there didn't seem to be much happening on the comm, and so I thought it might be worth posting something and trying to round up a bit of activity and support and see what happens.
I realized I miss a lot during the live watch. It's not that bad, because I record it and I can have a rewatch, but I want to watch it properly tonight. I'll keep an eye on the comments though (and the possible tweets). Enjoy the ep!
I like rewatches of these kind of adventure shows. To see if I missed any details (and to ogle the pretty again, of course *g*). I loved that in Merlin.
I've written fic as well, so I'm blaming at least a couple of rewatches on the need for 'research'! I'm actually rather surprised that I've written fic after only two episodes. Even Primeval took until ep 5 before I wrote fic, and Primeval ended up being pretty much my biggest and longest lasting fandom ever.
I'm really sorry I missed this! I did watch it, but I wasn't online much yesterday :( What a bloody good episode, we're actually watching it again now, LOL! Looks like you got a good amount of traffic over there judging by the comment numbers :D
I really need to rewatch the episode, I feel like I actually missed most of it because I was too busy commenting.
In other news, Cordy has just discovered another lj Atlantis comm, and this one actually appears to have a mod who does stuff! \o/ bbc_atlantis might be the place to go, if the mod for the other one continues to be absent.
I don't really care which one we use, as long as there's somewhere I can post fic and have discussions and stuff! :-)
That other comm is much better, though I see one of the rules is not to compare it with Merlin which is a shame as I think we should be allowed to do it in a fun way. But I can totally understand why they don't do it. After all, these are the NEW adventures of Arthur, Merlin and GWAINE *g* (And Cendred seems to have arrived - nom!)
I feel I need an icon with the boys now. I made this one in a bit of a hurry, and couldn't decide with pic to use, so went for the generic Atlantis logo. Now I want one with the pretty!
Oh yes, make the pretty! I'm loving how black leather man currently only has less than 600 followers on Twitter. I think he can expect that to rise sharply! Also, apparently he's known as a very good stage actor. I can think of another excellent stage actor who looks good in that sort of costume and who would be GREAT in this. We need a campaign to get Ben into season 2 :)
By the look of his twitter this morning he's making his poor wife cook him an artery-clogging yet delicious breakfast. I wish I hadn't looked at it - I'll have to go and buy some bacon later. Very very hungry!
