Camelot is what I wish Merlin could have been

Wow, I am really glad that I caught frantic_allonsy 's post about the new Starz show because I enjoyed the show immensely. There are so many things that I like about this rendition of the Arthurian legends that it requires a list and a LOT of screencaps.

Skeevy!Merlin?? I may need to check this out...

Also: EVA. UNF.

EVA UNF INDEED. Just... HER VOICE.

And Joseph Fiennes' Merlin is shiver-inducing in the best way. Mmmm.

I JUST finished watching this, and ITA about all of it. Soon as JFiennes started with the crazy eyes I knew this was golden. And JCB is such a fun casting surprise, he is definitely not who I would have thought of when recasting Arthur, but against all odds it works. The random nudity was eyebrow raising (this coming from a True Blood fan) but overall I was pleasantly entertained.

Tl;dr summary: FUCK KAY IS HOT. /FANS SELF/

Yay, Skip, you're on board! And FUCK YES KAY.

JCB was very good, I thought. Including his ugly cry at the end. I'm really looking forward to how he plays Arthur as he matures.

SO EXCITED WOOO

KAY GET IN ME I MEAN WHAT?

JCB was good! I like that he didn't play stoic or try for the manly single emo tear at the end - he's still a kid, for all the talk of being a king.

Nothing until April? Boo. BOO, I SAY.

[nicolasechs]

DO EEEEEEET. GET ON KAY.

OMG! Why did nobody tell me this is out already? :O

*must resist and not read the entry yet*

[nicolasechs]

Get back to me once you've seen it! It is surprisingly really really good.
