So, this episode starts out with a baby in a fantastic wooden cradle (that I covet but can’t find a damn picture of) near an open window. A little blue fairy dude(one of the sidhe) flies through the window and casts a spell on the sleeping baby. Several years later, we see an adorably awkward, […]
So, this week’s episode is one that’s pretty universally loathed, but more on that as I go. It opens with Merlin and Arthur running away from a giant hoard of marauders/bad guys/ what-have –you with no explanation to why. Obviously, it’s a plot device to for Arthur to be shot with an arrow and conveniently […]
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 […]
Oooooohhhh, it’s time for another installments of Favorite Things. And this month, it’s TV shows. Shiny! These are in no particular order, because for the most part, I can’t decide. Buffy the Vampire Slayer – I know some people like the movie rather than the show, but I freaking love the show. The movie was […]
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 […]
