Hee! Thank you.

Oh wow. This is fantastic. I love the clips and parallels and movement of it, I felt like I was seeing bits of the show in an entirely new way. *runs to rewatch*

Thank you ever so much. I really wanted to work with a reexamination of the source, so I'm glad it worked for you.

your vid breaks my heart in all places , but in a good way :)

and sorry, I am neither english nor american nor history anything, but anytime I see someone saying this "as unfaithful as it may be to mythology and history", I feel like an smartass pointing out to this meta essay, but somehow, I feel the urge to need to defend at least some honor of the people behind merlin *g*:
Negotiating the Boundaries of Legend, or, yes Merlin pays close attention to Arthurian Legend

Thank you for watching!

Thank you for the link -- it's quite an interesting writeup. I know there are many iterations of Arthurian legend -- to me, however, Merlin feels much like the same sort of early reimaging as Smallville. I really don't mean any insult by that, and I'm sorry if I offended you. As much as anything, I'm amused by the presence of fresh garden-cultivar strawberries and sandwiches. :)

I'm sorry if I offended you. enderwiggin24 January 15 2009, 16:41:21 UTC

no worries, i was not so much offended as amuse, since your part "as unfaithful as it may be to mythology and history" I have seen it an awful lot other merlin fans saying as well ( ... )

This is stunning work. I will have to watch it a couple more times to figure out all the different threads you are weaving, but that is so not a hardship.

I love it. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you ever so much. I honestly feel that a desire to rewatch is one of the highest compliments a vidder can be paid.

That was a really beautiful video. The transitions between clips was absolutely flawlass, and good song choice for Morgana too ;D

Thank you kindly. I was incredibly lucky to find this song to work with.
