*laughs* I saw it and thought "This seems awfully familiar... :S"

This whole entry is also a testament to why you shouldn't (or maybe should?) watch 'Merlin' with alcohol anywhere nearby.

*flails with you* OH THIS SHOW.

Win! This! I DON'T EVEN KNOW! HAHAHAHA XD

HEE! I'm delighted my drunken ramblings had such an effect. Sadly, next week I'll be back at university and unable to drink and watch and type. MY LIFE, SO HARD. But this was SO MUCH FUN!

ALso, darling, thank you so much for your letter! Sadly, essay season has hit - may I be a horrible person and include my reply in your Christmas card? I don't have free time before December 2nd at the earliest. :(

I laughed pretty much the whole time I was reading it. Now I have to go watch the episode again :D

And about the letter - that's fine! I'm caught up in end of term assessments as well. (Guh, 10k words due in on the same freaking day! Why did they think that was a good idea?) I hoped you enjoyed the letter anyway. I can't specifically remember what I wrote at the moment but I have the sneaking suspicion that I rambled quite a bit :P

Hah, no, Merlin didn't get an apology. There was a nice BOYS scene, though.

I could tell exactly where this was going from the moment I saw Lamia and she didn't like Merlin touching her. Also, how stupid were the knights? Even the smugglers worked out that she was bewitching them!

Also, Gwen in a tunic. *sigh* My anal-retentive 'historical shows must be historically accurate' part of my mind was a gibbering mess. Its still curled up in a corner crying.

The octopus reminded me of Davy Jones from PotC.

My housemates watched this show with me. Housemate!S's reaction: 'This is a little bit homoerotic, isn't it?' HAHAHAHA, DARLIN' YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET.

Long comment is long. Sorry.

URGH. Just once - ONCE! - I'd like to see someone say "wow, I was an arse, Merlin. I'm so sorry. Can you forgive me?" instead of everything being laid on Merlin like he should just Take It Like A Man.

I sense fic coming on....

I know, right? I mean, I was helped along by knowing Keats' poem (I AM SUCH A GEEK, I AM SUCH A GEEK), but - oh, show. It pains me sometimes when I remember that you're really aimed at eight year olds. Slightly older, now that you're on past eight. Ten year olds, maybe. Some subtlety'd be nice, once in a way.

HAHAAHAHAHAH, MERLIN, HISTORICALLY ACCURATE, GOOD ONE, SOL, AHAHAHAHAHA. :S Goddammit.

*laughs* As I may have mentioned before, my very set-in-her-ways GRANDMOTHER once said "Gwen's going to have a nasty shock - there's more going on between those boys than the camera catches!" It worries me that these writers might think they're being subtle.

Long reply is even longer... :S

fortune8te November 19 2011, 23:22:32 UTC

Well yes, but come on, it's not part opf the plot and it might detract from the Arthur/Gwen/Lance thing they seem to have going on next episode. Also, but Merlin Takes Things so well! :D ...sorry.

Fic? Do it. Please?

Dude, if it was subtle, the only people who would watch it would be the slash fangirls. None of the kids would understand.

I must admit, a tiny part of my historical brain dies every time I watch it. Seriously guys? I know this programme is set in the very specific and accurate period of Ye Olde Times, but seriously? The Arthurian myths should technically be sort-of sixth century-ish? If I'm honest though, I've never seen any Authurian story illustrations where they DIDN'T look like they'd come out of a SCA meeting. *sigh* Don't get me started on the SCA... 'high medieval times as it should have been' my HAT. Sorry. I get geeky. Tell me to get off my high horse, 'kay?

Hahaha, yes, I remember that. *cringes* Thankfully I've never watched it with a member of my family, but...

I'll shut up now. :P

...Merlin doesn't need an apology. After last night he needs the knights to grovel to him on bended knee, begging for him to take them back and how they're not worthy. And then lots of makeup sex *nods* Yes. This is how MY canon goes XD

I agree with you 100% wickednotevil November 21 2011, 19:45:05 UTC

The knights should grovel! GROVEL I tell you!

xaritomene November 23 2011, 17:13:34 UTC

*laughs* I think a nice make-up blowjob would go down rather nicely, don't you?

I wish to watch your canon, and not theirs. *snuggles in it*

wickednotevil November 24 2011, 22:32:25 UTC

My canon has orgies. Who wouldn't want to watch that? I bet even Arthur watches Merlin and his knights when they get frisky out on hunting trips *nods*

whocares19_05 November 20 2011, 15:28:57 UTC

I would have NEVER abandoned watching Merlin if it came with your commentary. ♥ XDD

xaritomene November 23 2011, 17:14:00 UTC

*laughs* *bows* If I promise to do this more often, can we tempt you back? :D?
