Those mushrooms are so gay.

Everything's a metaphor!

Hee. I'm sure somewhere out there's an indy band called "The Gay Mushroom".

But of course! :P

Hee, it is hard to recommend to this show to anyone, but I think the amount of crack and the gay might be enough to get anyone hooked. Go on, give it a try! Although, making picspammy recaps could be kinda fun. ;)

Holy shit, I think I'm watching this show now too. Marion Zimmer Bradley ruined the Arthurian everything for me at a tender age, like I'm almost sure I've whined before, but it's not like this can possibly expect me to take it seriously, so that's all good. Hey, hot people, tastes of crack, I'm not made of stone, y'know! *chinhands*

Did they also recycle that dragon from that traumatizing Sean Connery thing or was that a different but equally horrific bad CGI job? Do I even want to remember?

Well, feel free to curse my name when the brain damage occurs! :D

Heh, Marion Zimmer Bradley isn't the best writer (not that the language was a problem for me since I read The Mists of Avalon in Finnish) but as a kid I loved what she did to the Arthurian legends. Then again, I've always been a bit of a Pagan/Celtic/Early Christian nut. ;) Her Morgaine is one of my favourite literary characters.

You know, I generally try to pay as little attention as possible to whatever BBC does with CGI. The dragon's voice at least belongs to John Hurt and not to Connery. :P

Arthur has a difficult relationship with his Watcher father, the king. For one, daddy does not approve of the prince's love for his manservant and locks him in jail and refuses to deliver the flower Arthur had picked for Merlin. No, really.

Ahahaha! True!

I ♥ this show to a ridiculous degree. And young Mr. James really is one of the main reasons for that.

It's sad that Lancelot couldn't stay for longer, though I'm pretty sure a full-on orgy would have eventually ensued. (Even if you are under-presenting the Merlin/Lancelot a little here. They sleep together! Merlin plays who would you rather re: Lancelot and Arthur. It's true lust!)

Oh show. So silly, so gay. ♥

Dude, I could have spent an entire post on the Lancelot/Merlin. Srsly. Camelot is one slutty place! (I like that.) Lancelot better return soon and embrace the orgy. Although I kinda love him for going off on a 'journey of self-discovery'. Hee.
