I would very much appreciate that. I watched the second episode. I agree that it does sort of have the tone of a CW show. Something like The Vampire Diaries with nudity. I think it's the mix of humor with the darker aspects of the story. I had to laugh when Arthur was trying to get the sword and the peasant was trash talking. I look forward to seeing what Morgan is up to and seeing her and Merlin do battle (which seems inevitable).

They added this new twist with Guinevere is not the wife of his most loyal subject, so I see betrayal down the line. I was surprised to see the departure of one of the villains so early in the series. Not sure who my favorite character is here. I guess Merlin. Do you watch the SyFy show Merlin? It's interesting to see the same story told so differently. I have watched a few versions of this, and Morgana is the same in every one. :lol: Helen Mirren played her in the 1970s film Excalibur you can find on Netflix if you are interested.

I do watch Merlin of Syfy, glad to see it's coming back for a 4th season. I love this version of Morganna's feminism. It's handed in a clever way. Her comment to Igraine, when she said a Queen doesn't question her King was pretty funny. I like that this show has some humor to it. I also like that she sold King Lot out, but I'm a little sorry he's dead. I liked the actor. Oh well, his death scene was a good one.

Thanks again for posting the link Q. I really appreciate it.

I agree with you Eric. This show is simply a decent show with some good twists on an old story. I really like Morgan a lot. I think it's sort of clever that they are making her a feminist. Of course, she's obviously going to come to some sort of bad end and I'm not quite sure why she didn't just murder Arthur and Merlin when she's had the opportunity, but I'm in for the season. ^_^

I wish Arthur felt a little more guilty for screwing over his friend. He doesn't really seem to feel that guilty about it. I guess if Lancelot shows up it will be karma.

Yeah, it isn't great but it is acceptable. Maybe this is the nerd in me, but I liked the unglamorous look at magic and am curious just what one does with toe nail clippings and trimmings of beard. The drinking of blood I liked because it got explained just what drinking someone's blood in a pentagram can do for you. On the SyFy show Merlin, magic is shown as just glowing eyes and weird chants. Here we see it is actually sort of ugly.

    • The way this show handled Nikolas' shooting Hayden, Austin's murder, the long slow delay to getting rid of Cyrus, etc. we're likely to have it revealed in a year when Nina is 3 weeks away from leaving and has had minimal airtime.
    • Interesting. I love my Roku.  No, I don't know. Who? I mean Disney def does. I would think a number of parties have stocks.
    • Is he still spamming demands that they hire the campy chick from The Haves and Have Nots? Or whichever show it was. I don't think it's an either/or. I happen to think Dana, Dani, Eva, Nicole, Kat, etc. are all great. Certain folks aren't going to be some posters' favorites and that's fair enough. But I would argue most of those characters above (and several others) have caught on with a lot of the online audience. I've even warmed up to Martin!
    • We get it, you don't like this show or the actors. You've said that over and over again, Mr. Vanguard America/VDARE.
    • Lol at the WSB hot guy asking Joss if she was okay with betraying her friends.  Of course she is! Chase coming in hot at Dante was a choice. It's also quite hypocritical since Chase is lying to him about Dante's own child and making Lulu the bad guy.  Talk to the grown woman yourself Chase.  Don't make Dante do it. Lulu and Laura had some great scenes. The Rocco/Danny party is obvious an anvil for something happening and probably the Gio secret coming out. The Willow/Drew/Nina scenes were kind of anti-climatic?  I get why Nina chose this path as the way to get rid of Drew, but will anyone ever find out Drew was sleeping with Nina?  
    • I was reading the NYT article on Roku's purchase of FrndlyTV. As anyone who has read my posting knows, I think re-airing old soaps is an imprudent idea. However, I will admit that if large media companies are looking for more streaming content.  And, if advances in AI continue to make the digitization process faster and cheaper.  Those of you who want the owners of the IP to release anything in their vaults may have reason to be hopeful.  Because the makers of TV's want to get into streaming in order to encourage young people to get back in the habit of updating their TV devices every few years.  And, Roku's plan is market exclusive content, that you have to buy a Roku device to view.  And you-know-who has a ton of content to sell.
    • This was  the messiest hour of television I’ve seen since Kenya Moore asked “who is this hoe?”

      I missed the reference at the time, but those DAYS writers really like jokey character names.
