Me thinks they be playing up the slash aspects now that there is no denying it. I am mildly annoyed, however, at Arthur's apparent bipolar disorder when it comes to Merlin. Either he's whining because Merlin is not there, or he is giving Merlin endless shit when he is. It's the equivalent of pulling Merlin's pigtails, I suppose.
Also? WTF is up with these magical people having absolutely NO IDEA about each other?? The show's writers seem to be doing a pick-and-choose thing when it comes to how magical abilities can be sensed or guessed at. Makes me shake my head but I guess I can live with it if it moves the plot along.
My biggest issue so far? Katie McGrath consuming scenery like it's an all-you-can-eat buffet on Senior day. I really think she's a better actress than that. I hope she is, anyway.
All nit picking aside, I'm loving what I see. The amazing chemistry between Colin and Bradley keeps me invested. The rest of the cast does ok too, I guess. ;)
One final note: Does Bradley James now have a contract like that dude from Twilight, where he must remove his shirt every ten minutes? Not complaining, mind you. Just curious.
