New Show Merlin
Well NBC has brought Merlin to the states. I watched two hours of it today. I must say I like it. Eve Myles played the villianess in the first episode, she did a fantastic job. I must say Gwen is NOT a strong or deep enough character for her. That is not Gwen bashing either its just a statement. I've heard tell that Eve Myles dosen't think she can sing, and others agree. Ummm yeah okay, then who was singing for her in this episode? Becasue if that was her, mi thinks the lady doth protest to much! As in move of John and Garth cause Eve could move some serious CDs.
As for the show it was good, by the end of the second episode I was happy to have something on TV I could watch again. Yes they've skewed the myth, you know what I don't care. Because the myths have been skewed upside down and sideways themeselves so many times that the experts argue over which is the original. Like say is morgana the evil queen, or the celtic goddess personified, is she Authur's sister, Merlin's sister, Merlin's daughter, Merlin's lover. I've heard them all it depends on the text you refrence. So I am just as happy with this version.
I think Gwen and Merlin make the cutest couple. For some reason I like Morgana and Arthur together. Both Merlin and Arthur are good looking. Though I find Merlin has more ahhh cutness and Arthur has more sex appeal. I have seen 'Arthur' in something before I can't figure out what. It's going to bug me. I am going to have to google the character-to find out who the actor is and then google his credits I can see that.
I loved seeing Anthony Stewart Head play a darker character. I am not sure the king is a bad guy yet, but he is certianly shapping up to be that way.
Oh and Giaus I just like him. Also the Dragon. Looked good not dumb, suprising. I have something to watch this summer. Though how far I am going to fan out on it remains to be seen. There will probably be graphics though, because pretties to play with.
