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 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.)
