The Ink-Pot and the Palette

The S6 opener of SPN didn't really float my boat, tbh. I await developments hopefully, but it was tosh. I think even Jensen Ackles wasn't that impressed with it, from what I hear.

When Merlin started, I watched the first episode and didn't fall in instant love (not like I did with Sherlock BBC), so I skipped it after that. Recently, I have seen the first episodes of season three and intend to keep watching. I purely started watching it on the grounds that anitac588 reviews each episode as she watches it, and I trust her judgement. Also, it's difficult to resist a show when there's fic in the fandom by authors I want to read. :D

Colin Morgan is the highlight IMHO. The total lack of even a pretence of historical accuracy really makes me kind of nauseous (I get cravings for Robin of Sherwood!), but as a kind of live action slashy cartoon, it totally works for me. Gaius is a snark-laden peach. And I find it endearing, the way it appears to be made with leftover special effects from Doctor Who and on a budget of fifty cents and a carrot.
