Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Stating opinion like it's fact is frequently part of discourse that deals with artistic merit. It has that unspoken "I think" in front of it. The opener for disagreement is also understood to be "That's what you think; not everyone agrees," which is quite true! ^_^

Cheers to everyone who's enjoying the show, but me, oof. Felt like an eternity of cringing, watching that first episode.

It just pisses me off when people say things like that. Obviously I can't really tell online, but my RL friends do it sometimes, in a tone which is definitely not 'I think', and that's what their comment made me think of, I'm afraid.

...Did you watch any other episodes? The first two weren't great, but the others have been rather better.

It gets hackles up, yeah, hearing someone diss your beloved without "I think" in front of it. It happens all the time, though, so, if I can grow a thick skin when I hear it I can have easier conversations. ^_^ But you'll hear me saying, "Well, that's your opinion; I love it" all the time too! *is hardly immune to raised hackles*

I couldn't get beyond the first episode. It just seems so badly scripted--it really affects the performances of actors I know are ordinarily quite good. I was whimpering as soon as I saw "Court Physician" posted on a wall (I was howling, "No one can READ!") and a lot of character reactions seem to defy logic (crowd reactions included), and someone can only mess with my canon so much before I start to get testy. I love twists on an old tale, but, Merlin and Arthur age-contemporaries? Uther but no Igraine? Morgana's Uther's ward? Homely peasant wench Guinevere? Who the hell is Gaius and what the hell is this dragon? Isn't there enough material in the Arthurian legends without turning completely tangential? So, yeah, I'm not a good one for this kind of canon-what-the-f**kery.

I am too thin-skinned at time. >_<

You're missing the point. The point is not historical or mythological accuracy. The point is the pretty boys and the slash-y-ness ('the heart cannot truly hate that which makes it whole').
The writing gets better... and I don't think they're intending to stick to the legends. They're just doing whatever. And I think it works, just about.
Except Gaius. He annoys me.

Hee, I wish I could look past everything else and just look at the pretty boys and slashiness, because I'm all about that! But it's too hard to suspend my disbelief on this one. It's just too mediocre to bear!

It does get better later on... I assure you. The writing has improved a little. And it gets slashier.
