Merlin

Oh, look ... at least I didn't download it.

I've spent the weekend recovering and working on an enjoyable but intense beta, so I thought I deserved an hour off, and it was starting on free-to-air TV here, so I succumbed.

All of you Merlin people were completely right, it is absolutely pre-slashed. Was it written by one of Russell T Davies' ex-boyfriends?

On the whole, amusing and diverting and extremely slash friendly, but I will have to turn off my critical brain if I plan to watch any more. Pretty lads aside, it was a case of 'wrong clothes, wrong saddle, wrong architecture, wrong fruit, wrong …'

I should have just focussed on that Bradley fellow. Though he is a wee bairn, is it all right given that I have the same birthday as Germaine Greer?

I can't turn off... I hate it with a passion.

It's like slashing Harry/Dumbledore, and why is James alive and...

They should have made it some generic wizard.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! At least no one had an American accent, you will never know how relieved I was to make it to the end of the episode without one.

I would say it is the dumbest thing I had seen in years, but I watched Robin Hood. Because it had Richard Armitage in leather trousers. At least Richard is only a bit younger than me. I feel dirty. Happy, but drity ;-)
