Merlin

[erastes]

Oh dear... *addicted*  Did anyone else get a desperate need to write Merlin/Edwin Muirden obsessive slash?  *nails hands to chair arms*  He was definitely chatting young Merlin up.  "Imagine what we could do...the things we could do... together"

Well I can, for one, even if Merlin didn't have a clue.  Oh they are SO playing the slash up in this.  Has anyone seen the ads that they show in the cinema?  It's all lingering looks between Arthur and Merlin. *guffaw*

And Anthony Stewart-Head?  Will you STOP being so stern, HOT, and commanding?  I can't cope with it! I keep expecting to take your glasses out of your chain mail and polish them. Yes I have librarian Giles pashes, so stern Giles is really messing with my head.

I need Merlin icons...*haz*

No. No, he won't. And I, for one, and all for that. *whispers: "Giles was freakin SMOKIN."*

Wasn't he? So great to have a bloke I can lust after who won't put me in jail. Well, he probably would if I stalked him, but you know what I mean.

I was adamant I wasn't going to watch such drivel after the first episode but it's become my guilty pleasure. Nice to see that Arthur is no longer the totally conceited arse he appeared to be in the 1st episode.I actually felt twinges of sympathy for the pressure he was under the week of the tournament.

I know - me too. I even complained bitterly about it after the first episode, and now am hooked. So happy that the women are not kick-arse and are generally comatose.

:)

I like the way they are keeping the father son relationship on a knife edge too.

*snorts* Just as a good mediaeval girl should be.

You know, come the revolution, I'm having the costume designer up against the nearest wall and shot. What is it with Morgana and her backless, halter neck dressess? Aaaargh!

ps who is the blond chap in your black and white icon?

Oh the costumes! I turn my historical head off, but it's often difficult when they are wearing armour that doesn't fit the architecture ! The women's clothes are stupid, which is annoying - if they'd just picked an era and stuck to that faithfully, they still could have gone to town with beautiful dresses and it would have been nice to see.

If it's this icon you mean - it's Bjorn Andresen who played the divine Tadzio in "Death in Venice "

this one!

I haven't seen that film for years. I think I was too young to appreciate male beauty back then. Silly me.

No. Oh, please don't stop. I am enjoying this far too much.

And, yes, I complained after the first episode too, but it is such a guilty pleasure!

I'm glad it's not just me loafing on the sofa and pretending I'm just waiting for something else to start!!

[lareinenoire.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't even have that excuse -- I'm watching on iPlayer at work!

Well, I haven't seen any episodes of this, but with you talking it up in such a slashy fashion - how can I resist? ;oD
Just promise me that there's no pleather a la Robin Hood.

p.s. Death of a Pirate King finally came in the post and you were right - it's just as great as the previous 3.

Merry

pleather?

And it wasn't me who recced DoaPK - I've never read any of his stuff - I think it might have been Alex Beecroft?

[feed-your-muse.livejournal.com]

Sigh. you're right - I know where I've been some of the time!

Re: the pleather - plastic leather as worn by Richard Armitage. ::shudder:: and not the good kind. (Now, RA with real leather - great. Pleather - not so great.

I've been avoiding your Merlin posts, but have finally seen ep 1 ... and LOVE IT! Which is rare for me to like a pilot this much, but it's so much fun. So tongue in cheek & anachronistic in a wonderful way & & & please tell me it only gets better?

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Hee hee - SOOOO much better. Fun and silly and ASH being STERN and HOT and COMMANDING. Mad mix of architecture, stupid clothes - but lots of melty looks between arthur and merlin and some double entendres which canNOT be accidental.
