I rarely post long reviews like this, but my brain has been taken over by Merlin and I'm really hyper tonight. I actually missed it on TV tonight, unexpectedly went to see a friend and ended up going for dinner, and then when I finally got back, avoided LJ spoilers, and pressed play on iPlayer, another friend called and stayed on the phone the entire way through! And I didn't press stop, because it was one of those conversations where I could just make the right noise at the right time and she was quite happy. And so I used my mobile to tap in a few random thoughts while the episode was going on. Then I went back, and watched the episode properly, and wrote a much, much longer commentary because I couldn't always make sense of the text commentary.

And so, TV reviews under cut. But I am waiting excitedly for reviews from other people who take the time and effort to cap stuff, like the awesome lonely_fajita (no pressure hon! ;-p), or all the other fab people on the Merlin comms who put real thought into what they're writing, not just, pretty!pretty!pretty!huh?pretty!touching!

( Short, barely comprehensible text commentary. )

( Longer - NO REALLY, STUPIDLY LONG - commentary. )

( Does ANYONE watch Silent Witness? )
