Slow news day, but seriously: Is Joseph Fiennes, the star of Starz’s ten-part Camelot series, mocking Glee when he talks about the reasons you should watch him play Merlin?

Dollhouse – The Unaired Pilot

I am lucky enough that a friend of mine went to Comic Con, so she was able to pick up the special edition DVD set of the first season of Dollhouse.  Had I not had other personal issues going on, I would have watched this like, the second I got my hands on it. Going into this episode, and having seen the entire rest of the season, you would think it would really only answer questions you had before.  I, for one, thought there would be more info about Alpha in this episode.  And knowing the studio decided to reshoot the first episode and not air this one, I would doubly think it would be super information filled.

Merlin 1:9

This week, we get Uther almost dying at the hands of the Black Knight, and the forging of Excalibur. I’ma tell you right now, that if a knight dressed in all black with a totally black horse bursts into your party, things are going to go bad.  And also, it’s pretty likely magic is involved.  Really, if someone burst into my house like that at all, I’d think there was magic behind it.

I believe we have discussed previously how much I hate episodes that do virtually nothing to further the plot, especially when it’s close to the end of the season.  Granted, I have no idea how many episodes are in this season, but I’m pretty sure it’s close enough to the end that this kind of episode doesn’t have good timing. This is not to say that I didn’t find it to be an entertaining episode, it was actually not bad.  Plenty of action, people getting away from Uther, girls fighting with swords (aka one of my favorite things).  It just didn’t do much for the plot.  We didn’t need to go back to Merlin’s home village and see the kind of life he used to lead, the people he lived with, his mom. And of course we had to have the obligatory “magic is bad news bears” lecture, but this time from Arthur!  Fortunately, one of Merlin’s now dead friends took the credit for the awful magic that saved the people’s lives, so Merlin wasn’t found out.  But it’s kind of disappointing that for all Arthur thinks Uther’s policies are bad, he is anti magic and doesn’t even have an explanation.

Merlin 1:13

This show is so obviously not made for an American audience!  They ended the season without a cliffhanger of any kind! Arthur spends most of this episode in bed almost dying, because he is bitten by the Questing Beast, which is supposedly so deadly there is no cure.  Cept Merlin goes to some magic island and gets water from Nimueh, which saves Arthurs life.  It comes at the price of another life, and Merlin has offered his own, but of course it doesn’t go that way.
