Merlin’s TV Dinners

I’ll make no apologies, here, for posting a couple of pics, because – after an old friend admitted that she was having trouble getting the hang of the BBC’s 21st century take on the various legends of King Arthur, and Merlin – I’m rather fond of Merlin, the series.   Come to think of, Katie McGrath, as Morgana, is … cute.

Yes, I think that’s about all I’ll say, there, on that subject – she’s … cute.   Use your imaginations.   And a thesaurus!   

To be frank, though, in my humble opinion, the BBC cut of Merlin is turning out to be a bit better put together, than the take they did of Robin Hood.   Which I can’t say was wet, to be honest.

Merlin seems to be making a better effort on that front.

So far, anyway.

And last night’s episode introduced someone who’s going to be very important, later on …
