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.

    • I do agree that I wish there was more gay representation in terms of singles. I also had hoped we'd get a Black couple since it was a Black soap and I don't know that we've ever seen that on a US soap.  With that said, it's still early days so I can imagine we'll get that at some point. I am impressed they launched with as much LGBT representation considering how US soaps can be.
    • Thank you. I know we're all supposed to see that BTG is progressive when it comes to queer characters, but it's telling that they won't commit to showcasing gay or bi males who are single and looking. That relationship couldn't be any more traditional. Will we ever get a bedroom scene with Smitty and Martin? I have my doubts.
    • This is a pretty huge thing IMO, but I guess we will see what happens? Can't get any worse then already. 
    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.

    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
