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 love Merlin! (Tv Show I mean). I'm no expert on the whole legend/history thing so it's inaccuracy doesn't bother me. I love the leads and every scene with them together is a slash scene in my mind, lol.

I am a bit of a mediaeval history geek, but it was so very wrong that I think it will annoy me far less than if it was mostly right with some errors.

And I can see why you consider it wholly slashy, my goodness!

Well, it's hardly as though the medieval version of the Arthur legend is exactly historically accurate itself. Thomas Malory was probably the first fanfic writer...
