Merlin

[ithildin]

So we've finally started watching all the Merlins we have on the DVR (we just finished E07). We're really enjoying it despite the fact that the historical inaccuracy is making my toes curl. I really wish somebody somewhere would make a a TV series or a movie using the actual time period, etc.. Anyway, back to Merlin. I am enjoying it, but as usual, I don't have a lot of interest in the leads - I'm drawn to Morgana and really wish she played a bigger part. I don't like Arthur at all, though Merlin is sweet in a dorky teenage boy sort of way.


More Morgana!

That Lancelot comes back. Him I liked.

The Merlin in the stocks thing ends; it's getting really old.

Arthur displays something to make him worthy to be *the* Arthur.

Some sort of idea how a lady's maid becomes Arthur's queen. Assuming they even stick with that part of the legend, of course.

And yes, you may spoil me with abandon!

Now what exactly do you mean by actual time period? Because, depending on which version of the myth you subscribe to, there are currently (I think) four different periods of history that Arthur may have lived (if he lived at all).

Personally, I subscribe to the Welsh Iron Age chief theory, but of course I would *grin*

I think of Merlin as being the Smallville of Arthurian legend - just leave your books and knowledge at the door because none of it applies here. Doesn't stop it being fun as hell though. :)

I got really sick of the stocks too. Hopefully in S2 Arthur will stop letting him take the blame for everything.

As I said to Dejla, something that doesn't involve a fantasy land castle would be a good place to start. I ask for little LOL

Yes, I like that theory as well, so lets pick that one and instruct the TV types to go forth and produce [g]

Never seen Smallville, so I assume it's not really Superman?

Oh, I'm watching it and I had heard it wasn't very historically accurate, I was just a little flabbergasted at how bad. And people complained about Convington Cross! Which I liked even so [g]
