The title of this post is, unfortunately, inaccurate. I remembered that she’s in one more episode, but it’s not enough, damn it. Okay, so this episode opens with Gwen getting kidnapped by slavers from the village she was banished to. The slaver is in cahoots with Morgana who’s planning yet another tiresome attack on Camelot. […]
So this week, we’re talking about our Anti Bucket List – things that we never, ever, ever want to do. Ever. These are in no particular order, but I never want to… Go to Vegas. Call me boring, but this just holds no appeal for me. It sounds completely overstimulating and overwhelming, and I think […]
This episode opens with the Arthur, Merlin and the knights in the woods behaving like obnoxious junior high schoolers and playing Keep Away with with water flasks, and Elyan is thirsty. They continue riding and stumble across a shrine in the forest – there a bits of cloth everywhere tied on ropes and branches, crystals […]
I am really, really not a fan of this episode. I might hate it just as much as last week’s. Actually, I think I hate it even more. So this recap will likely be really short. The basic story line is that Arthur decides that he’s going to propose to Gwen despite the fact that […]
Thanks to Tamsin Frost for this week’s title – because she’s awesome. This is also the one where I want to repeatedly throat punch Lamia just to make her stop talking with that awful, breathy, little girl voice. I know, I know. I’m sounding really violent right now, but I have a horrible headache, and […]
Okay, so Arthur, Merlin and the knights are riding out in some dangerous part of the forest…like you do, when they’re set upon by mercenaries. Merlin gets injured and Arthur saves him, getting separated from the other knights in the process. They have a heart to heart in the woods and spend the night alone […]
This episode starts with something we’ve never seen before and never will again. Merlin. In armor. Not just any armor, but the armor of a knight of Camelot. Is it because Arthur got a clue and realized it’s dangerous for Merlin to be in sketchy situations without the benefit that every other dude who travels […]
This is from a presentation that Jenny Trout and I gave earlier this month at the Grand Rapids Region Writers Group, and we thought we’d share it with the rest of the world since we’re professional level self defeaters. You don’t have to look very far to find self-defeating behavior. That’s why it’s called SELF […]
In this episode, we have a former student of Gaius’ breaking…well, sneaking into the druid’s cave to steal a third of the the super secret sacred Triskelion shaped key of some dead sorcerer king type dude. (I know…that’s a wildly useful description.) The druids are all, this will do you no good, you don’t know […]
Okay, so the episode opens with a troupe of circus type performers arriving in Camelot to celebrate Arthur’s birthday. Merlin’s delighted, but Arthur’s dismissive. He doesn’t have time for silliness like birthdays. But he has to put in an appearance. It’s his party, after all. And even Uther gets his clothes on, brushes him damn […]
