How about TV shows? There's quite a few being released this month that are awesome.

Camelot (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eb-EBdwRtk) is another adaptation of the King Arthur story, but they're doing quite a few new/original things with it. It's a much darker take on the story, I think, and so far there's a lot of focus on character-driven drama. (A+) There's certainly a fair share of action and sex, though -- it's by Starz, after all, haha. I think it's a show that appeals to a lot of different tastes, as a result. Really, though, it's worth watching just for the cast. Eva Green plays a HBIC Morgan and Joseph Fiennes plays a gloriously creepy Merlin. I pretty much adore it.

And if you're a Merlin fan, I beg you to give it a chance. :/ I'm tired of seeing Merlin fans getting all butthurt because the show isn't... exactly like Merlin. It's possible to like both shows, guys.

The Borgias (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58hmD2sGV7Q) is a series covering the lives of the famous Borgia family, focusing mainly on Cesare Borgia. Definitely recommended if you're an Assassin's Creed fan, as the atmosphere in the show is very similar. Also recommended if you're a fan of The Tudors. I think people might get turned off from this show because it's "slow" or "boring" -- so far there's a lot of politics and character drama, and not a lot of action. Trust me -- that'll change!

Game of Thrones (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PxLidxnAE8) is... I can't even describe this series without freaking out in excitement. Guys, if you watch any of the shows I'm recommending, watch this one. You don't need to have read the books beforehand, although I suggest that too. But seriously, this show is going to be amazing. So amazing. Have another trailer. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpJYNVhGf1s)

Hmm, I'll look into those. /adds to to-do list

I watched the trailer for The Borgias, and the I was won over by the Within Temptation music. It won me over. I'll have to watch.

Is "Camelot" improving? I only tried the first two episodes. The writing/acting/directing is all okay, but it kind of skeeves me out a little, the way it portrays women. (Morgan calls Igraine out on standing idly by while Uther was an asshole, and Igraine floats out "A queen doesn't question her king!" Um. She's a perpetual victim. WTF?)

I really want to love it, because I want to love every King Arthur re-imagining, but...it just made my skin crawl. :-(

I'm not really sure how to answer that, since those things didn't really bother me, so I can't give you a good perspective. That said, I absolutely adored the first two episodes and strongly disliked the third because it's like the third episode went out of its way to make Arthur and Guinevere the most unlikable brats possible. So if you already disliked the first two, maybe the show isn't for you, haha. (And there's nothing wrong with that at all!)

Is there a fandom for the Borgias yet? I've really been enjoying the show so far. (Camelot... not quite so much.)

I am so excited for Game of Thrones. so exciiiiiiited

I don't know how I'm going to function between the time when it airs Sunday night and when I get to see it on Thursday. I'm just going to become even more of a zombie.
