Merlin. I've caught bits of the new series on the tellybox, and it all looks interesting and fun enough, and am now looking for opinions: Worth buying on DVD?
Current Location:Not at work, that's for sure :D
Current Music:"Battlestar Sonatica" -- Bear McCreary
The plots are often 'meh' and some of the episodes makes you facepalm. But if you can ignore the complete screwing of Arthurian lore, then the slash is second to NONE! EVERYONE CAN BE SHIPPED WITH ANYONE!! It's EPIC!
The plots are often 'meh' and some of the episodes makes you facepalm. See, that just makes me sad. I'm a complete sucker for twisty-turny plots - or failing that, damn good characterisation.
Might have to bear this one in mind, I think. And maybe try to actively catch some full episodes on TV. I usually only catch the last few minutes waiting for Strictly Come Dancing to come on.
You might spend the first 5 eps tearing at your hair because of the historical inaccuracies, but then the druggy effect of those OMGCUTE boys and girls takes over and you just enjoy the slashy ride. :D
