Oh Merlin

[loobee]

Finally saw the end of Merlin season 2. It was a little bit predictable. During the father/son scenes, whenever they were talking about going to see Merlin's mother I was thinking 'oh this can’t go well' and it didn’t. The dragon surviving also wasn't entirely surprising. I had a feeling after last year they weren't going to really upset the status quo, so hence no 'coming out' of Merlin's magic, Uther's still alive and so on. So next year the only difference will be that Merlin can't go to the dragon for advice every episode and Morgana's going to occasionally appear muttering darkly and staring into cauldrons, probably with Morgause as the main villain for the season. They could be a little bit more ambitious and format-changing but overall this episode was mildly disappointing after the much more dramatic episode last week. They need to add some danger and get out of the status quo they have set for themselves.

Though I do think it’s adorable that Merlin and Arthur show their friendship through teasing and that Arthur was really trying so hard to tell Merlin that he saw him as a good friend but Merlin wasn’t quite listening :D The prat ;) anon meme.

Hmm... I might give it a watch then, I need a new show to watch fduhd If I don't like it I'll just go stick on my dvd of the Channel 4 Merlin XD

Is that the Sam Neil one because that was brill? XD

I'm kind of stuck for new telly to watch too. Being Human was good if you like tales with a vampire, Werewolf and ghost sharing a flat XD

Yes! \o/

I watched that, still a few episodes I haven't seen but I enjoyed it XD I've been watching True Blood too, when I can.

♥ I still have that on VHS I loved it so much XD

True Blood cracks me up, I never know if to take it seriously because Sookies brother is such a ho LOL But I have a huge crush on Lafayette, he's just brilliant.

It is the best production done of the mythos I think |D

Hahah, yeah, it is ridiculous at some points, and I try to ignore the main couple because they feel Sue/Twilight-ish sometimes. Lafayette is amazing ♥

Oh I agree so much, I loved Excalibur, but till then no one had explored Merlin's past and it proved to be awesome.

Yeah it's definitely a show that has better second tier characters, Lafayette and Tara are more interesting to me. For some reason everyone seems to love Eric, I'm not sold on him yet, not as cool a vampire as Spike from buffy in IMHO XD
