Ahhh, I have yet to finish S2, let alone start on S3! *shakes fists* ;D But I may have to, or I will just watch the vid anyway (as per my standard rule for Amy vids, hee!).

&hearts &hearts! :*

That is a very excellent rule! You may want to ask her first if it has any spoilers -- I can't properly tell you since I haven't watched the second episode, but there might be a tiny tiny one if you're squinting, I think?

Ooh, where are you re. S2? Thoughts? :)

♥!!!

I think I only watched to 2x10? Or maybe 2x11, hahaha, it was a long time ago. ;) I think my enthusiasm started waning after the troll eps (because SRSLY?!), although Freya was cute (until, y'know, she up and DIED D:). I think I got distracted by... some new fandom, or possibly just a combination of on- and offline fails (probabilities are approximately equal), and then I heard Things about Morgana that made me WIBBLY-SADFACE and couldn't bring myself to continue. Although I might, now that we have (apparently?) Shiny New Series!

... annnnnd wow, my parentheticals are running away from me aren't they.

PEE ESS: the post I meant to send you a few weeks back, it has not been sent yet! I FAIL. But I should be able to manage a post-office run tomorrow, or possibly Monday.

Oh god, the TROLL eps, I don't even know what to say about those. I admit I didn't even watch them properly, I fast-forwarded through bits. I liked the Freya episode -- I ship Merlin/Arthur for sure, but I thought he and Freya were adorable together. And yeah, Things happen to Morgana, and it's really kind of a mess. The way her storyline's shaping up for this season is something I don't really like the look of either. I'm tempted to just wait half a season and then poke people and ask them if things improve & it's safe for me to go back, but. *hands*

That is all right! I always feel so undeserving of your postcards, because you are so generous. You = ♥!!!

3.02 has a lot of shirtless in it, as I'm sure you've seen by now. :D I don't know; I miss it, too, but I can't really put my finger on it. In a way I'm glad they're finally dealing with some things, mainly Morgana, but I do miss the Huge Crisis and then the laughs afterward sort of format. /sits back to see how it'll turn out

Yeah. *pets show on head* I'm glad that they're trying to get into the material and conflict a little more too, I just don't know if they're doing it the way I want them to? Have you seen up to 3.04 yet? Has it gotten any happier? :(

I just don't know what I would do; I think Kyra does, though. She should run it. x.x Oh, I meant 3.04 has a lot of shirtless! My bad. HAHAH it's kind of ... well, it's pretty lulzy. Less evil Morgana, and there seems to be some Arthur/Gwen in 3.05. Let's see ... there's definitely that silly sort of quality missing a lot now, but parts of 3.04 are really silly. Sort of. It's interesting. I'm talking myself into a WALL, goodness. We should talk about it after you watch, lol.

YES. She really should. We need to get the Merlin writers fired somehow. :D Eep, evil-Morgana is -- well, competent-evil-Morgana is pretty hot, but smirking-in-dark-corners-evil-Morgana is just overdone, alas.

I will try to catch up this weekend! I keep getting behind on my TV, which considering how much I'm watching is understandable. And then I will talk to you about things! (Also are you still watching Community this year?)
