I started BOSS 2, but the roommate wants to watch it together so it's going on hold for a few weeks. But THE BOSS IS BACK! Am also marathoning an early-'90s BBC show called Waiting for God about retirement home shenanigans (there are SO MANY SHENANIGANS). I used to watch it as a child, which really explains a lot about me. XD Diana Trent is my heroine FOR ALL TIME. ♥
And the Japanese remake of You're Beautiful was just announced, as you have probably heard by now! I spent hours flailing with my friends on iChat, mostly variations on OMG and IT'S GOING TO BE A GLORIOUS TRAINWRECK FULL OF CRACK I CANNOT WAIT.
I kind of hate that show because it made me fall in love with Alex and he will never know I exist. ;___;

Bwahaha, I'm not familiar with Waiting for God but I know this feeling. It happened when I rewatched Xena as an adult and realized how much I imprinted. "Asskicking women in leather? Rampant femslash? ..........It explains so much."
the current Japanese drama season is fun with BOSS and Jin both coming back for sequels. Jin is still pretty much perfection so if you watched the first one, it's a must to see the season 2. ♥
Not the Game of Thrones or Camelot, go for The Borgias instead. I'm completely addicted to it right now. Jeremy Irons chewing scenery as the pope, Cesare and Lucrezia Brogia having a suspiciously close relationship for siblings, fantastic costumes, sets and cinematography. First episode has Cesare whipping his soon-to-be devoted assassin in order to make his role more believable - talk about slash writing itself...
Boss2 is fun, though sometimes the humour seems a bit more forced than on the first season.
MUSCLE GIRL!!! Lee Hong Ki being adorable as a Korean star looking for his mother in Japan when he stumbles across a down on it's luck female wrestling team lead by Ichikawa Yui and is adopted into the family as their new referee. Of course evil other team is trying it's best to kill the main team.
YES YES YES YES THE BORGIAS. CESARE/LUCREZIA FOREVER. *_________* You know I had no idea they were siblings until I watched it? I didn't know their history or anything, I just checked out the show because it looked interesting. And then Cesare was lying on top of her and giving her eskimo kisses and she was all giggly like "oh! brother!" and I went dfklsjfsdkl;fasdkflj;asdfksdjaf.
If I'd known there would be incest, I would've watched SO MUCH SOONER.

I was really pumped for Boss 2, but then I heard Kimoto isn't in it? ): Muscle Girl sounds like it could be hilarious or hilariously awful, I'll have to put it on my list. XD
Kimoto appears in the first 2 eps of Boss 2, but hasn't appeared since. :( HOWEVER, signs indicate that she is, uh, lurking in the background mysteriously investigating the series arc mystery, so I'm pretty sure she'll be back in the second half/tail end of the season. The new girls they added to the team are pretty promising too. XD
(Also it occurred to me that the show is basically making Kimoto Eriko's mystery boyfriend of this season. And then I CRACKED THE HELL UP)
BUT IS SHE BEING GAY WITH OSAWA? That is the question. Their relation/mentorship was my favorite of S1, and their scenes (both separately and together) are what I thought made the drama so great!
How do you feel about sentai? Because Gokaiger is pretty, ahem, MARVELOUS. They're space pirates. Green is a bit gay, Blue is sort of emo, Pink is a lolita, and Yellow is obsessed with money. Also, Red's name is CAPTAIN MARVELOUS. I'm not sure I need to say anything more.
In American TV, I can't EXACTLY recommend Hawaii Five-0 because it's AWFUL but it's also slash fan bait and DDK is SOOOO pretty. So, I recommend it with the caveat that you're only going to be watching it for the banter and Daniel Dae Kim in tight shirts. It seems like something you might like, though.
*butts in* I remember sentai. I used to watch it like crazy! Gokairanger actually sounds quite fun, I havent watched in a while though. Is pink the only girl?
Pink is usually the designated "girly" one and sometimes that can lead to being boring and super nice/cutesy all the time. yellow on the other hand reminds me of Nabiki from Ranma 1/2. Obsessed with money!

I'm excited for Ripley. I don't even know what it's about, but the promos look amazing.
