katikatI finally caught up on Merlin. It's a cute show but it will probably never be a favorite of mine, something that I'm in love with. The days when I was obsessed with Hercules, Xena, Wilhelm Tell, Robin Hood or Roar are obviously gone...
What I love about the show:
* the storylines - they are quite intriguing and a lot stuff usually happens in the course of one ep
* the outdoors - yes, they really do film most of the scenes out there, in the wide, wide world XP
* Anthony Head - I was never into him on Buffy but as Uther, he's really great
* the friendship between Arthur and Merlin - they are quite cute together, aren't they? ;)
But to be honest, I don't see the slash in this show. Maybe it's because it feels like there's this... distance between Arthur and Merlin. Sure, they are kinda sorta friends but Arthur is the crown prince and Merlin is just his manservant and I do feel this distance. To me it feels like... they lack chemistry *ducks flying dishes* I can see them as very close friends but I feel no intimacy in their relationship *shrugs*
