1.) The Tennant/Stewart Hamlet on dvd. While there are elements lost from the stage production due to the difference in media (and one gained, to wit: close-up!), it's still marvellous to (re)watch. One year after having seen it on stage (i.e. with some distance), this is still my favourite Hamlet so far. (The competition being the Branagh, Olivier and Zeffirelli films as well as various German stage productions.)
2.) S.W.O.R.D. It's fun, suspenseful, with great banter, deals with a quite serious situation of the Marvelverse at the same time, and stars two of my favourite characters, and one of the few couples I'm embarassingly shippy about, Hank McCoy and Abigail Brand.
3.) The Good Wife. A smart show, with great female characters, passing the Bechdel test in each episode, offering both cases of the week and ongoing arc-like developments. Twelve episodes in, I've yet to be disappointed about characterisations or twists.
4.) Rewatching New Who episodes both for looking back and looking forward purposes. Last ones were the Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead two-parter, for Moffatian preparation, and School Reunion because it's one of these DW eps that never fails to make me happy. "Does he still stroke bits of the TARDIS?" "All the time! And I'm like, do you two want to be alone?" (Sarah Jane and Rose about the true love of the Doctor's lives. *g*) "My Sarah Jane!" (Possibly my favourite Ten-hugs-somebody scene of all time, and he hugs a lot!) (Competing favourite hugging scene for characterisation brilliance: reunion scene in The Poisoned Sky, when Martha hugs the Doctor while Donna slaps him and then hugs him. Says such a lot about their respective relationships.)
5.) Merlin. Where I'm still in the first flush of fannish affection that comes after marathoning the two seasons, i.e. completely charmed by the characters, avidly catching up with the fanfiction and feeling generous about the flaws. I will undoubtedly mind the last more next season when I get to see it on a week-to-week basis, but now I'm still enjoying my first fine careless rapture stage.
