In a land of myth and a time of magic...

This year, Amazon Prime put up the Guy Ritchie King Arthur in my part of the world. Which is so awful that I didn’t manage more than twenty or thirty minutes before giving up. But it did inspire me to a Merlin rewatch for the first time since s5 ended. These last weeks, I managed to squeeze in the entire show, from the pilot to the finale, only skipping two or three episodes which I dimly recalled as too awful and/or boring. But I still found myself ridiculously charmed all over again.
