10:00 LEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!! The other ones are just random dudes with Anglo-Saxon names, but Leon has a name and a title and everything ( Read more... )

TVGuide informs me that this episode will involve "the sorcerer Taliesin." I expect this entry will involve rather a lot of swearing. On the plus side, I have white cocoa made with almond milk and marked-out white mocha sauce from work. Mmm ( Read more... )

22:02: Really, Merlin's new trick is to discover magnetism? I'll have to go back later and see what the Old English for "make this sword magnetic" is. Naturally, Arthur fails to notice ( Read more... )

OMG shut uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup

Why is she so bad at feminism, you guys?

My torrent of last night's episode of Merlin came with subtitles. In French. Except for the magic bits, which is how I now know that the magical language everybody speaks, despite sounding rather like Elvish, is in fact Old English.
