Holy shit, could you completely mix up Arthurian legend any more? It's a cute show, but this is a level of backward I would expect from American television.

Insulting the U.S. isn't going to make China seem any better for living you know. I know you miss it.

Where did the "ing" go? I swear I typed "watching"... Whatever

I just hit season two and the writing actually improved! There are story arcs and someone managed to pick up a copy of some stories about Arthur and sprinkle some names around in late season one. Fucking Geoffrey of Monmouth isn't there completely out of time any more in season two!

Anyway this is my drunk review of Merlin: Cute show but it sucks in the Arthurian legend department, and I would expect Brits to actually do that pretty well. Also, the actress that plays Morgana is seriously easy on the eyes. Kudos, Katie McGrath, you keep me watching.

I believe you. It seemed to be getting better, but I have faith it will get worse. I will keep watching as long as there is some drink to fuel this crazy Merlin watching bender.

Pretty shitfaced now. I think I'll call a halt at mid season two. I might pick it up again on another night.
