The BBC's Merlin amuses me. I have no idea why, because the historical/mythical accuracy was just, ah, forgotten? I dunno. It would have been cool to see some of Mary Stewart's Merlin Trilogy come to life but clearly that wasn't their aim. Instead Uther hates magic (which is weird because he USES MAGIC TO IMPREGNATE IGRAINE WITH ARTHUR, with the help of Merlin of course), Arthur is a bit of a tool (which is also weird because I'm pretty sure he grew up thinking he was an orphan and not well born), Morgana is Uther's ward (could still turn out to be Arthur's half sister, then again can the BBC do incest?), GET THIS SHIT: Guivivere is half black, a servant, and Morgana's servant (ummm...there isn't even a SINGLE similarity with anything I've ever read...and I've read A LOT OF King Arthur).

The dialogue is slightly modern day, stuff like 'thanks' and conjunctions...at least they all have accents though. Yeah it's crazy crap but it amuses me, so I iconned it.
