Pablo Bluth posted:There's always a few bits of dialogue or plotting in every episode that make me go "really? you couldn't have had the writers do one more rewrite?" but overall I quite enjoy Merlin. It's undoubtedly superior to the similar Robin Hood that the Beeb attempted.

Pablo Bluth posted:We might all be waiting for Uther to die, Arthur to take the throne and for Merlin to come out the magic closest, but you can't get there too quickly at risk out running out of plot / Arthurian legends. Yeah, keep in mind they're Arthurian Legends though so having Uther sitting there like a moldy sock is not making for fun television. Installing the round table would make a whole bunch of characters to explore and to have adventures with. If that requires the magic closet to be opened, so be it. It's pretty drat open with the the whole Coup that happened with Magicians and everything. Hell, the only person who doesn't know poo poo at this rate is Arthur and it's making for frustrating television.

Fatkraken posted:I think you guys are being a bit harsh. It's nice to see a solid literary-type SF premise explored on the small screen, there's precious little in any filmed medium. It's interesting to make connections to other stuff, written or filmed; I got a big dollop of Eternal Sunshine, a bit of Light of Other Days, some Suicide Coast, notes of half a dozen sort stories from the last few years. OK they could have done something a bit more interesting, but I thought it was pretty neat. Yeah, but just because you stopped before you made your point doesn't make you The Sopranos.

Hell, if even what happpened is he passed out dead from slicing his neck open (Which, ironically is what we wanted the protagonist of Million Merits to do so he could escape and thus we could have been all "gently caress you, dood, you didn't deserve escape!") that would have been fine.Pablo Bluth posted:I think on the whole, the Black Mirror strand was a success and I hope it comes back for me.

Cerv posted:I wish I could have been at the meeting at Channel 5 when they decided "yes, our defence to Ofcom will be that 21:00:11 is not immediately after 9pm". Channel 5 is and probably always have been run by a bunch of yahoos. They just get progressively less intelligent over the years. Nothing says "We are teh smart" like getting Thundercats when you don't have a strand to put it in.
