I can’t believe we’ve finished season one already. I also can’t believe I’ve been religiously blogging for thirteen weeks straight without missing. Yay, Merlin Club pressure! 😀 This episode opens with Arthur, Merlin and four knights of Camelot creeping through the wood on a hunt as well as Arthur being annoyed with Merlin. Again. (And […]
It’s time for Merlin Club! I can’t believe we’re almost done with season one! The episode opens with a jaunty little marketplace scene. Tom, Gwen’s father, gives her a pretty pewter button then surprises her with a whole new dress. She’s immediately (and, as it turns out, rightfully so) suspicious about where the money came […]
Sooooooooooooooooo…10 random facts about me. Huh… Let’s see… 1.) Once I stopped wearing nail polish for 23 years because I had to work on a cadaver that was wearing the same color I had on. However, I’m back on the nail polish train, and it careens wildly out of control whenever Ulta has a sale. […]

Buckle up, kids, it’s finally time for Jess to get her Merthur on! The episode opens with a gently sweeping pastoral view of the village of Ealdor when a band of thugs on horsebacks rides in and demands the villagers’ crops.

So you know *that’s* not gonna end well. And as if to underscore that fact, up pops an armored hand through […]
It’s that time…time for another installment Merlin Club! This week, we’re on episode 8. This episode opens with an attractive (in that scruffy kinda way) druid and his young apprentice wandering through the open air market at Camelot. They’re accompanied by what sounds to be Tibetan throat singing. When they stop at a stall to […]
It’s time for this week’s edition of Merlin Club! Yaaaaaay! This episode opens with Arthur in full armor sinking beneath some spectacularly lit water with a beautiful young woman watching him drown, followed quickly by Morgana waking from a nightmare looking exceptionally gorgeous and not at all like anyone I’ve ever seen wake from a […]
It’s time for Merlin Club – that time of week is when Jess Jarman, Jenny Trout and I recap the latest episode of the BBC’s Merlin. The episode opens with a mysterious person who’s clearly being naughty and using magic. There’s also a box full of bugs. A box full of magical bugs. This seems […]
It’s Merlin Club time with me, Jess Jarman and Jenny Trout! (Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!) This episode opens with Merlin wandering through a lovely, idyllic forest, gathering mushrooms. All of a sudden he’s attacked by a giant terrifying CGI creature with the head and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion. From out of nowhere […]
