The first couple of seasons? Try the first couple of episodes. Rarely have I seen writers botch a show so badly as Merlin.

I can see why you'd want to keep that a secret there OP. They did a pretty fair job, sure there were some missed opportunities, particularly in the last season and in merging the series with "reality", but it was still pretty darn good. A worthy addition to Arthurian canons.

[(Anonymous)]

If you're serious then wow.... Avoid avoid avoid!

[skippydelicious]

Wait, my endorsing a show gets people to avoid it?

Hey son, that Firefly was darn tooting good. By the way, go watch Teenwolf and Supernatural, they are the fireworks. Marvel's Agent's of Shield, not a shitty episode in the run. Make sure to be glued to season two.

[(Anonymous)]

...are you high?

[(Anonymous)]

I think you ought to have kept THIS a secret. Merlin was cringe-worthily awful, and makes me suspect you know squat about "Arthurian canons", however the heck you define those.

[(Anonymous)]

I think skippydelicious meant to post that anonymously. Looks like we've found our troll.

[fingalsanteater]

I kind of agree? Which is why I've read the shit out of some Merlin fic (I've read so much you don't even know). But I enjoyed it for what it was, so eh. I liked the series for the most part, as frustrating as it was.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm with you. I would never argue that it was stellar storytelling, and not ridiculously frustrating, and sometimes way too campy, but eh, I could get past all of that and enjoy it for what it was. Plus I never felt like it was trying to pretend to be anything other that what it was.

I love my dead gay show...

Any particular recs, btw? I'm always on the lookout for good fic! (Merthur in particular...)

I haven't watched much of the show but yeah. Got all excited that there was a series based on King Arthur, then saw one or two episodes and just gave up.

[cassandraoftroy]

I feel you, OP. I couldn't even get through the first episode. The Arthurian Legend geek in me curled up and wept.

[(Anonymous)]

This. And so many of my friends liked it! Different strokes, I guess.

[iceyred]

Let's be real. Most fanfic writers would be better show writers than most show writers.

[(Anonymous)]

No. Some fanfic writers would be great show writers, but they are few and far between.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. Even fanfic writers who are excellent fanfic writers -- who are better at writing fanfic than the show writers are at writing show -- would not necessarily be better at writing show. It's different skill sets.

[(Anonymous)]

The fact that I didn't watch a whole season and did not actually miss any kind of vital information when the season after it started is pretty telling.

[(Anonymous)]

The last few seasons did get pretty silly. I'm still a bit miffed that Merlin didn't do his big reveal until the last freaking episode.

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

I never watched a single episode of it and I knew it was to Arthurian legend what Xena and Hercules was to Greek mythology!

[ibbity]

I wish someone would make an Arthurian show or movie based on the Mabinogion and its fellow ancient Welsh myths. That would be a fun-filled, exciting romp.

[(Anonymous)]

That would be so cool. But not if the quality of costume design and all was like that on "Merlin".

[(Anonymous)]

I completely agree.

[(Anonymous)]

I do love Merlin but I have to agree with you. Series 4, I was mainly in it for the fic. If only TPTB hadn't been such assmunches, imagine what could have been.

[(Anonymous)]

It could have been glorious.

There was so much they could have done. SO MUCH.
