TV Is So Shiny
Jul. 10th, 2011 08:40 pmI left work early today and instead of doing anything productive with my day (ha!) I spent the day watching the first season of Merlin. Okay, I watched the first episode last night and then the rest today.
Overall, I enjoyed it though there were times I was rolling my eyes thinking, 'Stop being so dramatic, ugh.'
Behind the cut I talk about the characters on Merlin but also about Buffy and Supernatural because I don't know how not to.
I think that Arthur might be my favourite. I like that he's snarky and cocky but you never doubt that he loves and cares for Merlin. Sometimes in a slashy way but often times in a friendship sort of way. Arthur is how I'd like Dean to be. I guess, he's sort of how Dean used to be once upon a time. I just hope Arthur doesn't become like how Dean is these days.
I love Merlin a lot. And I'm starting to see Colin Morgan as attractive now. I understand that he has to keep his magic a secret but sometimes I just want him to say 'Screw, it.' and let loose with it and show 'em all what he's really capable of. Obviously, he'd be the Sam of the relationship and I suppose they have things in common (keeping their powers a secret) but, I want him and Willow to practice their magic together and ride horses when they're taking a break.
Gaius is awesome and I'd like to see/learn what he's really capable of.
I like that Gwen is a simple character. Well, so far. She's sweet and lovely without being annoying or sickening.
I suppose I like Morgana, I don't really have an opinion on her just yet. She does have Keira Knightly mouth which is sometimes distracting.
I want Uther to be more like Giles! I know that Anthony is an actor and is just pretending in the way he's directed to and such but dammit. I want Giles to be king!
And that about sums it up.
It'll be awhile before I can watch S2 and the other seasons so please no spoilers.
