I know I owe you guys more than this, but...

This is a drive-by post to say that if you have not seen the BBC show Merlin, you are seriously missing out. I've watched the whole 1st season and about half of the 2nd season in the last 10 days, and I can't get enough of it. Season 1 is streaming on Netflix, if you care to watch

I actually just finished watching a couple episodes myself. Literally like, 30 minutes ago. Weird. lol. I'm only about halfway through season 1 so I have quite a ways to go, but I have to admit, I'm quite enjoying it so far! I'm totally loling over all of the Arthur/Merlin subtext. lmao.

Ha ha. That's awesome! The subtext is pretty lol-tastic.

I'm glad you're enjoying it!

I watched it on Netflix too! It's a really fun show.

:D
I adore Merlin (I watched it a few weeks after it started in Britain - I actually led people to the bandwagon this time!) - it makes me happy, and the fans are all so much fun. :)

Cool! Do you have any LJ comm recommendations? I don't really know many fans yet.

I watch 'Merlin'! I'm in the UK so have seen fully both seasons, and although I almost gave it up as I really didn't like the first few episodes, I admit that now I absolutely love it. I ADORE Arthur/Gwen, and Arthur/Merlin are just a perfect platonic OTP!

Yeah, the first few episodes were a little silly. Really I just kept watching because my friend and I were so amused by it. But then I suddenly realized that I genuinely liked the characters and wanted to see what would happen next! And now I'm just a little bit in love.

Merlinnnn! ♥

It doesn't always have the best plots but I really do feel the second season was a huge improvement over the first. Plus it's always fun to watch. :D

That's kind of what I meant when I said some episodes were formulaic. There's some evil magical thing attacking Camelot, Merlin wants to stop it with magic, Gaius says no, but Merlin does it anyway as long as no one finds out it was him.

Honestly the first episode that really jumped out at me as being different and exciting was To Kill a King. I loved that episode! The second season is definitely better than the first.

To Kill a King is really awesome yeah. I also really loved the one about Merlin's village (I am bad with titles, oops!) and the unicorn one.

I liked those ones too. I thought the unicorn one was a little predictable, but still very good. I also liked Excalibur a lot.
