Merlin Fic! Ok, very old Merlin fic. Merlin is clearly the ex-boyfriend with whom I have issues. I’ll be reading and commenting on current stories in about five years. I’d honestly forgotten I’d written this ficlet since I never got around to posting ( Read more... )

And now the end is (nearly) here… Another episode that gets a thumbs up. There was a lot going on in TCoA although the pace seemed oddly leisurely in the first sections before picking up page and positively galloping into the finale scenes. And, yeah, that title - Mallory, Tennyson say what you will - I am never going to be believe it wasn’t ( Read more... )

So Merlin reaches the half way point with something inbetween a bang and a whimper. Tbh, I’m not sure what to say about The Castle of Fyrien - on the bright side it didn’t leave me frothing at the mouth with rage but neither did it leave me very excited. It was a nice episode with a few cute touches including a potentially interesting new character ( Read more... )

 This was charming but problematical. Or perhaps problematical but charming, depending on which side the balance falls for you. I go for the former.
