TV round-up (of the opinionated variety)

[ariadnes_string]

There is too much to watch on TV! Some things have already been regulated to the status of “okay, I’ll watch it with the boys if they feel like it after dinner” (sadly, this seems to mean that H50 and Elementary and Arrow are duking it out with Dr. Who, Alphas and Psych).

Here’s what’s rising above that at the moment (idiosyncratic, I admit):

Me: It’s not slow motion. That’s just the way he fights. Everyone is so cowed by it they slow down too.

*dies* That's the best answer ever. :D

And I love Arthur, too, and the growth of the relationship between him and Merlin. It's so lovely to see. Arthur is my favorite, because I am all about the development of excellent leaders as they learn from their mistakes and find out what's required to lead well. His character arc is that from start to finish; looking back, it's so easy to see the arc that I mistook for shallow writing in seasons 2 and 3 (where they were letting him struggle with and come to terms with being his own man).

Arthur is my favorite, too, for all those reasons! And I love that they have had him learn from his mistakes (and from acknowledging his mistakes) rather than him just suddenly becoming more mature. I love that the respect that characters like Gwaine and Elyan have for him has been earned in canon, and vice versa.

(S3 was a kinda crappy season, but it was actually important, it turns out)

*happy sigh*

all this, plus nets and shirtlessness!
