NBC and the BBC’s Merlin
Good evening, Nerdy Bloggers. I’ve been in and out of town over the past couple of weeks, but I’m hoping now to return to a more normal rate of blogging. I hope and pray you’ve all been well, too.
Over the past month or so I’ve heard the buzz about NBC’s newest series, Merlin. Being a fan of a good Arthur story (although I’ve not read/watched nearly as many as I should/like), I decided to watch the pilot episode online tonight, and I must say that I’m quite impressed. The cast is interesting, as well as the storyline. Although my Arthurian knowledge is at a bit of a deficit, I had no problem hopping into the story and following along with the action. I love Merlin’s clumsiness, as well as his snarky attitude towards the stuck-up Arthur. Also, Gwen’s awkward comments towards Merlin do much to make me laugh and enjoy her take on “foot-in-mouth” disease. I think this is an interesting take on the story of Merlin and Arthur and I am looking forward to watching further episodes. I’ll post more thoughts on the series as I watch.
Blessings,
Nerdy Blogger
