Best Merlin Eppy yet with 1x07!

Nov 02, 2008 17:28

I was VERY happy with this week's epp--so much so that I wanted to watch it again as soon as I had finished! Vast improvement over the last few epps, and we finally learn more about my favorite character, Morgana....plus the most zingers of any epp so far I think--I felt like I was stopping every two minutes to write down another funny line/ ( Read more... )

It's getting great fun - they are really getting into their stride with the characters now, both writers and actors, adding more depth and intrigue with each new episode.

And the deeper we get into the show, the more I understand the reasoning behind changing the recognised version of the legend so much. This way, not a one of the characters is presented to us as a final product, as it were - we get to watch every one of them growing into who they are going to be, all at the same time. It all makes for such fun storytelling.

Yeah, it's also great fun seeing how they'll treat each aspect of the myth, and how things will develop--for example I would like to know how Gwena and Arthur get together given the state of things now...and I wonder if Nimueh will return with a new side, and have a relationship with Merlin (or if what happened in 1.04 is it for the "Nimueh seducts Merlin" part of the legend), etc....

And btw, did you see my post on BF directed to you? I just thought you'd appreciate them pronouncing the gaelic word "sidhe" correctly, unlike SN this week! ;) I was confused at first going "Um, a 'she'?" until I recalled my fantasy series that had a place called "Sidhe Dubh," and that handy pronounciation guide I mentioned before! ;)

LOL yup, and I would expect no less from the Beeb - for them to get a word like sidhe wrong would be practically heresy! ROFL

...suddenly I remember that I never did catch up on that episode I missed, which was the Nimueh episode...

*makes mental note*

You mean the second Nimueh one? Yeah, it was okay.....not a fan of this Nimueh though, her motive seems for the most part to be, "I'm a crazy bitch, and I do what I please!" :p

And yes, naturally I suppose the esteemed and proper BBC would get that right, unlike the common and vulgar CW! ;)
