recycling aliens

So I'm about five minutes into the first episode of Sarah Jane Adventures, and I have exactly two things to say, right off the bat:

1. Maria is ADORABLE.

2. WHAT THE HELL IS TOSH'S PSYCHO ALIEN GIRLFRIEND DOING WITH SARAH JANE?

(I realize that by her own race's standards, Mary was a criminal; ergo, the other members of her species are no more or less likely to be evil than any given human. BUT SERIOUSLY NOW.)

Presumably all will become clear, and again, I'm all of five minutes in. I just had to register my SRSLY?!

ETA: Okay, apparently not!Mary has nothing to do with anything. Thanks for the wtf, Rusty. But more importantly - "Hello, Maria. Hello, screaming girl." LOL LUKE YOU WIN AT LIFE.

BLAH BLAH MERLIN VID ETC

VIDDING, christ, stop eating my brain. I'm working on too many vids right now. One being a Merlin vid, of course. Because I already made a Gwen vid and a Morgana vid, so I've given up fighting the inevitable, and I'm making a Merlin-centric vid now. Except, do you know how difficult it is to pull clips for a Merlin vid? He's in EVERY GODDAMN SCENE, making lulzy faces, except trawling through every episode like this gets kinda boring, and then I get distracted by other characters.

Gwen's okay, see, because I'm like, sorry, already did your vid, and she's like, that's okay, I'll just hang out over here being awesome until you need me again. But Morgana? FUCK. She's all like EVERYTHING IS ABOUT ME ALWAYS, and it's really, really hard to resist that, because she's the most interesting character for me, and I'm like listen, I already did your vid, and she's like BITCH PLEASE. And then Arthur keeps being all, HEY IS IT MY TURN YET and I'm like DUDE, this is MERLIN'S vid so basically yes.

This is your brain on vidding, kids. Get out while you still can.
