Merlin

This is my official plug for Merlin, the BBC series. The first series of 13 episodes just ended, and if you're resourceful they're easy to find out and about. The story basically is about, obviously, Merlin coming to Camelot and befriending Arthur. This series changes the original myth and has Merlin a young man about the same age as Prince Arthur, and basically tells of their adventures growing into the legends they become. Supporting players include Gwenivere (Sp?) and Morgana, who I really enjoy outside of Morgana's crazy streak at the end of the last episode.

Colin Morgan looking adorable.

I really enjoy this series because it's a fun fantasy tale, but also because of the ridiculous homo-erotic overtones. It actually cracks me up a bit how BLATANT they are about it. It's one drunken night away from being context rather than subtext. Just youtube "Merlin arthur" and see how many slash fan-videos you get. The whole series isn't anything serious, but Colin Morgan is a cutie. Highly recommended if you have a few hours and want a break from the shit that is 90% of TV.
