BBC's MERLIN. Let me tell you about it. The staff of Doctor Who take historical inaccuracy to even greater heights, making Merlin the teenage wizard work as the manservant (yes, this is a direct quote) of the jerky blond dickhead Princess
Prince Arthur. "You're a prat." "You can't talk to me like that!" "You're a prat, my lord." And: "Well, there must be another Arthur because this one is an idiot."
Me: Arrgh. Someone made me watch the BBC show "Merlin" and now I'm getting obsessed with castles and kingdoms and knights again.
Vicky: welcome to the club haha
Me: and dickhead princes. I LOVE IT WHEN THEY'RE DICKS. BUT THEY'RE SO AWESOME.
Vicky: dickhead princes?
Me: AND HAVE ANGST
Vicky: DICKS ARE AWESOME
Me: ...
Vicky: Er.
There is surging heroic music! There are badly CGed dragons! There are intense candlelit confessions of trust!
THERE IS
0TP BY THE SECOND HALF OF THE FIRST EPISODE. And so much gay. I HAVE
PROOF.
"And the show's producer and co-creater Johnny Capps revealed the growing army of gay fans wouldn't be disappointed by the rest of the series. "It is a very, very intense friendship. All epic tales have some elements of homoeroticism in them, so we were always going to pose these sorts of questions. These are men fighting with swords who get up to desperate things."
Did you hear that? "Desperate". These men are desperate. Together.
You can't make this shit up. Unless you're the BBC. Obviously.
And Anthony Stewart Head is the king. ASLDKFJ;K IT'S GILES. "I have a theory! That it's a demon! A dancing demon - no, something isn't right there..." GILES.
Truly, it's like they made this show for me personally. Really, there is something for everybody in this show.
Oh and bonus? Lancelot is played by the
druggie clairvoyant from Heroes. Yes. It's Isaac Mendez. In a tunic. With chain mail. Getting beaten up by Arthur and his magnificent hair. For Pete's sake the filthy yet hilarious innuendo writes itself.
Also,
Morgana? SHE WILL KICK YOUR PROBLEMS IN THE FACE. While in heels. In a 600 foot dress. She is that awesome.
The theme song is already my ringtone.
