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?

It's produced from Cardiff - same team as NewWho and Torchwood, so either RTD's rubbed off on them (>_< *scrubs brain*), or they were all pervs to start with.

I thought it was pants (but pretty pants) until ep. 5 when they start playing with the actual Arthur mythology in interesting ways.

EW! Thanks for that mental image. Yes, I am not looking to it for Great Drama, but pretty boys are always good ;-)
