So I've cut back on tv watching this summer. Why waste the time unless I really like it, you know? But I wanted some interesting story to entertain me. So I'd heard the kids talk about the British series "Merlin", and decided to check it out. Watched a couple of episodes of the first season (there are now five seasons) and was hooked. Good writing, action, humor, romantic tension building very slowly, and characters I believe and like.
So I guess I'm a hopeless romantic. I am so happy to see Arthur fall for Guinevere in his awkward way, as a person who has been taught to treat servants a certain way. Then to see Guinevere and Lancelot fall for each other, and to see Arthur notice that they have affection for each other just breaks my heart! Maybe I should be rooting for Guinevere and Lancelot, but I'm not. I like Guinevere and Arthur. She is so good for him and his heart is genuinely kind! And of course I know how the story traditionally ends, but my daughter says to watch it because it may be different than what I expect. ???? I guess I will have to continue to watch!
