Merlin 1x05

[stillane]

 Because I am sick, and should be studying, and have very little brain at the moment, I have only this to say:

1. Holy crap, it continues to get slashier. Awesome. Merlin freaking the hell out while looking for Arthur among the dead? Even more awesome. 

2. Lancelot's parents were murdered in front of him as a child, after which he immediately went on a quest to be a master swordsman, which led him to face off against the hero of the story, and eventually befriend him. Guys, Lancelot is Inigo Montoya. *adores*

3. 20thcenturyvole : haha! I've not been Jossed! Also, Gwen managed to quote a line I'd given her word for word. Eeeeexcellent. *g*

Curmudgeon more like.

I am perhaps very particular about my remakes and reimaginings of things, and quite generally almost anything that comes out of a television show I am going to run hopping and screaming in the other direction, especially lately. That is my problem with the Arthurian stuff - it is used everywhere, but very rarely is there a decent reworking of it, or integrating. Picky, picky, picky me. Oh and I have rather randomly seen two episodes of Merlin - they tried showing it over here before it was pulled.

Indeed, why do we need double copies? *coughs and mutters something about Brideshead Revisited*
