This episode opens with Arthur and Merlin returning from a hunt. Arthur decides what they really need is a tankard of cold mead, so they stop in at a tavern presumably on the outskirts of Camelot. Arthur gets pissy that the barmaid finds Merlin more attractive than him and later he gets his protective hackles […]
This episode opens with Merlin visiting everyone’s favorite pompous librarian while looking for a book for Gaius. While searching for the book, Merlin discovers a secret room thanks to a spinning bookcase. In the secret room (which is trashed by the way – does no one pick up in this library?) he finds a smallish […]
I’m so bummed I wasn’t able to watch Merlin with Jess and Jen this week, but I’m in the U.P (The Land of Very Little Reliable Internet) on a family vacation. But I wrote this out in advance. Yay Netflix! Season three opens with Morgana having been missing for an entire year and Arthur, Merlin […]
The last episode of season two opens with death and destruction – compliments of a really pissed off dragon. Arthur and the knights are trying to fight the dragon while Gaius and Gwen are tending to the wounded. Gwen goes out into the courtyard for more water even though Gaius tells her not to because […]
Okay…before we get into the recap, I have to do a little shameless self-(and also Jess and Jen) promo for our brand new Merlin inspired anthology, If Ever I Would Leave You: Arthurian Stories for a New Generation. Jess, who’s awesome, btw, suggested that we do Arthurian themed stories since we all love this stuff […]
This week, Merlin Club also involves some vacation photos! Here’s our live action Merlin Club shot! And this is when we went on a quest to discover the true location of Camelot. As it turns out, it’s an AMAZING yarn store in Calumet, MI. My fellow yarnheads can check it out, here. Okay, on […]
This episode opens with Uther waiting patiently for the kings from five other kingdoms to arrive so they can have a peace summit and all sign a peace treaty. But one of the kings has other plans. His name escapes me, and I’m real lazy, so from here on in, he shall be known as […]
The episode opens on a dark and stormy night (of course) with a mean looking bounty hunter pulling a cart with a cage on it into Camelot. Inside the cage is a beautiful young woman. The bounty hunter goes inside the tavern and leaves his prisoner out in the rain. Merlin and Gaius who’ve been […]
Okay, so this episode opens with a blonde sorceress wearing one of Miranda Lambert’s cast off award show dresses and casting a spell that involves Arthur and scrying into this crystal which immediately got Fleetwood Mac’s Dreams stuck in my head. Meanwhile, back at Camelot, a knighting ceremony is going on and Uther waxes all […]
So this episode opens with Merlin being carelessly stupid (sorry, Jess) and despite living in a kingdom where people are routinely put to death for even being suspected of using magic, he decides to use magic to create a galloping horse from the smoke from a fire. Now, granted, he’s in the woods, but so […]
