After the excitement of the Merlin premiere.. I AM SO BORED TONIGHT.

I slept WAY too little last night as I managed to get in bed at nearly 3am with a headache.. and then woke up at 9:30 to make fruit salad while my siblings made pancakes and omelettes for our father's day brunch thing. It was yummy and he liked the gifts we bought him. (My contribution was a fermentation cookbook with all sorts of tips and recipes, he was excited).

Then we went to the mall where I retroactively used a $20 coupon for the things I bought last week. ...I lead a life of excitement and joy.

ANYWAY MERLIN!!!
I got my brother and sister to watch AND THEY LIKED IT. *flail* I almost killed the TV though because our reception is annoying and it wasn't working for a while. It was amazing seeing it all big and clear the tv. *_* I HATED how they did the commercial breaks though. It's like everything just cut at awkward moments without warning. Worried that newer viewers would be discouraged by it. And then our power cut out twice for a few seconds like right around the part where Arthur fights Valiant and I was like, NOOOO WHYYYY?!

Consensus from the siblings was great. Sister agrees with me that the first episode is weak and she wasn't convinced until we saw the second ep. So kudos to NBC for showing both tonight because I can see people not coming back next week if only ep 1 was shown. CANT WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK.

Merlin was a trending topic on Twitter for a little while after and I had fun watching that. Looks like people either had already seen it, were new and loved it... or were new and didn't "get it" and thought it was stupid. Oh well. Can't win everyone!

Hrm... yea. My life. xD

Yay Merlin! I don't actually own a TV so I can't watch along with you, but it's cool to hear other people's responses :-D

I didn't get home in time!

But, I promise! I'll watch it online tomorrow :D.
I'm super intrigued.

I have an awful fascination with observing other people's reactions. I am loving reading all these reviews and seeing how people like it over here.

*cheers* I have heard that it is on sidereel. Just be warned that the first ep is a bit slow, but if you can get past that it gets awesome imo.

:D I hope you had an awesome daaaaaay

I will tell you I watched part of it, but I had come in halfway through it, had no idea what it was, then realized and went "Ooh, Carolina told me about this!" lol and had NO idea what was going on. Will they do encores of the episodes or no?

ah yea it would be confusing coming in partway since they spent the first ep setting things up mostly.

They aren't doing encore eps. They might put them on the NBC site. if not, hulu or sidereel will have them :)
