Heh! Sick of knowing the ending all the time... Yes, I know what you mean! One of the things I love about oure new version of 'Merlin' is that I can't pin down where they're going with it all. They have changed things about enough that I am intrigued to know what happens next. What with that, and 'Spamalot', I figure there's life in the Arthurian legends yet!
I will check out your lj, thank you! I hope that 'Merlin' will continue in America. It really means a lot to people here that it's the first UK show to be bought by a major US network in 30 years. I am hoping that the BBC will fund the full five years that the creators envisage, and any success at all in the US market (even a small share of it) may help. {crosses fingers}
I am about to re-read 'Mists of Avalon'. I enjoyed it way back when, so I am interested to see if I'll enjoy it again now!
Ooh, I am enormously fond of the movie 'Excalibur'. It made me really cry when I watched it again recently. I love it for trying to tell the whole story, from Uther's failed attempt to be High King, through to Arthur's final battle with Mordred. Just amazing stuff. A product of its times, but then I'm a product of those times, too!
