I'm Back!

You may be wondering why I haven't been posting lately. Honestly, I'm trying to forget that the season 3 finale ever existed, and I don't think that writing about it is going to help.

So, my favorite show has gone and broken my heart, so what do I do? Can you say Rebound?

In this case, my rebound is named Merlin. Which is just now airing for the first time here in the US. Perfect timing!

I know that many people didn't (and don't) like the way this Merlin was created, but it's exactally what I need right now. It reminds me a lot of what Robin Hood was like at the beginning. It's light-hearted, yet suspenseful. It is exciting without being too violent or having any 'content' issues. And the characters are interesting and likable. See, I'm not picky!

In some respects, I think Merlin is better made than Robin Hood, too. The knights actually have real chain mail, and it was filmed on location in France. The entire castle is real, and it's beautiful! However, then there is the CGI, which is quite laughable at times.

The characters, as I said before, are really great. Except for Uther, who is supposed to be nasty. The nice thing about these characters is that they are likeable without being perfect. I think I'll go into all of this in a whole post, but Arthur is a great example. He really is a snotty brat, but somehow I still like him.

Now that I'm back, I should put out some more articles. Merlin, you have brought me back!

Thank you!
