Dec. 28th, 2008 12:40 pmA Yuletide recs post is still in the works. The crop of stories this year was amazing.
Oh mightly FList, you were indeed right about Merlin. I watched the first half of the season and I'm afraid I was amused without being overly impressed. I heard it took a while to find its footing, however, and I gave the back half of the season a shot.
This was indeed where things got awesome. Motivations! More Morgana! Joyously bad CGI! No pretense of mythological accuracy! (Although, I think the lack of concern for mythology/historical accuracy was firmly established in the first episode with the presence of strawberries and sandwiches.)
If anyone has any Merlin-related recommendations, they would be greatly appreciated. From my initial perusal, the fandom appears to be heavily Merlin/Arthur. This is acceptable, but I'm also quite interested in Morgana, gen, het, etc., etc.
In no way did I just download The Mists of Avalon for more source footage of, well, the mists of Avalon.
