You know those shows where you don't necessarily watch but pay attention to thanks to fandom?
Glee has now turned into that show for me.
I don't watch it nor do I participate in that fandom, however for some reason I always end up getting drawn to watching fanvids and clips from the show itself. It's weird, but I can just understand what is going on from that and from summaries on what happened and that's enough for me. Mostly I'm only interested in Santana (aka my homegirl ♥), Brittany/Santana and Kurt/Blaine, and everything else I just don't care for. I just stick to those and ignore the rest, because it's easier to maintain sanity when the drama hits the fan.
As a sidenote, can I just say that I love that Dean/Castiel and Kurt/Blaine fans are now each other's bffs thanks to the SpoilerTV.com couple competition? The fact that
kleanstiel was created warms my heart.
Other shows that I actually need to watch: Game of Thrones, because it's everywhere and I've been hearing so many good things about it, and I'm kind of lacking in good television right now, especially fantasy-based shows. I'm also still wayyyy behind on my True Blood watching.

Date: 2011-06-07 11:57 pm (UTC)LOL I LEGIT WATCH THE SHOW AND THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I FEEL. Everything else is just noise.
I keep trying to watch Game of Thrones. The episodes I've seen were interesting enough, but once it's not in front of my face I never think about it. Tell us if you like it!

Date: 2011-06-08 01:57 am (UTC)I've only seen clips, which were all awesome, but yeah I haven't been able to watch it because I don't get that channel it airs. So I have to download it. Which I'm totally gonna do, because it seems very fascinating.

Date: 2011-06-08 09:33 am (UTC)Also, you need to watch it for the slash potential. It's *everywhere*.

Date: 2011-06-08 03:34 pm (UTC)Oh believe me, after seeing that homoerotic shaving scene, I have no doubt about it with the slash. ;)

Date: 2011-06-08 02:55 pm (UTC)The friendship between the Dean/Cas and the Kurt/Blaine fandom is all kinds of awesome. As is the friendship between the Supernatural and the Doctor Who fandom. No idea where that one came from but I love it.

Date: 2011-06-08 03:30 pm (UTC)And yeah, I have no idea where that fandom friendship came from either. Not that I'm complaining, since the connections are very interesting (particularly with the God!Castiel/BadWolf!Rose comparisons because, holy shit), I just love the whole concept of SUPERWHO! And I don't even watch the show anymore. lol

Date: 2011-06-09 09:39 am (UTC)Aw, I love that the Dean/Cas fans and the Kurt/Blaine fans are friends! That's adorable!
I stopped watching Glee a while ago, but whenever anyone posts Klaine gifs, I'm like, "Yes, please." Hehe.
no subject
Date: 2011-06-09 04:57 pm (UTC)I think Klaine is the best thing to ever come out from Glee in terms of couples. That and Brittany/Santana, of course. I mean, the fact that Kurt and Blaine was the first actual male/male kiss (and one that actually counted I should say) made me all gooey and giddy inside, not gonna lie. They are just so damn cute together. Plus, not gonna lie, I love that Darren Criss has gotten himself out there. :)
