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?

The Bradley fellow looks too much like a pixie (and is blond! Not anything against blondes, just not my type of bloke). Now if you're talking about Morgan...

All things aside, I'm very fond of the show. It is amusing, granted, quite cringe worthy but overall nicely done (disregarding Arthurian legend, of course!). Didn't particularly enjoy Robin Hood but am finding myself loving Merlin. :D

I like pixie boys! Admittedly Mr Brammers is more of a stoic Northern type with Scandinavian cheekbones who is a wee bit more on the Colin Morgan side of things, but he can lift very heavy things.

It is a lot of fun, to judge by the first episode. Not sure if I will have time to indulge it, might have to wait for the DVDs!

When I first saw the old merlinxarthur banner, I went..."Big-eared skinny Merlin with an outstretched hand, and inbred-looking blond Arthur holding a sword. Huh.")

But the boys grew on me, oh how they grew on me *_*

Wait until you see Lancelot in ep. 5! =DDD

(Huh, I have a ton of merlin icons but no Lancelot icon. Must. Rectify.)
