And Like The Cycle Of the Year, We Begin Again

Begins moments after the Merlin Series 5 Finale “Diamond of the Day”. Canon Compliant. In Character. An "Arthur Pendragon Returns" story

When Arthur stumbles from the Lake of Avalon 1,500 years after his death, he finds a world unlike the one he knew. Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King.

Merlin does all he can to guide his king, even as he struggles himself to hide his love for Arthur, fight his fear of losing him once again, and keep control of unknown magical forces throwing him, and the world, out of balance.

Story includes sass, banter, horseplay, and True Love.

Reminder to everyone that it’s tick season, so if you live/visit anywhere associated with Lyme Disease, and have just returned from Being Outside (Even Your Yard), you need to act like a Drag Queen between sets, and do a Full Strip Costume Change, while checking in the mirror for bugs, and telling yourself how fabulous your naked body is because why the hell not.

Academy Award winner Marcia Lucas has died. While winning major awards for her work as an editor for Star Wars (alongside a team of editors, including Paul Hirsch and Richard Chew; some of her contributions outside of her work with George Lucas include Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, Taxi Driver, and New York, New York), she mostly disappeared from the public eye following her divorce and essentially retired.

While Marcia dispelled the belief that she singlehandedly saved Star Wars in the edit (and very passionately defended George's craftmanship and ideas, which she felt were undercredited, as well as the work of their team in general), there was a lot of work she specifically did and I thought it would be good to highlight just how much she did and give her credit where it is due. There is a lot that came from her that most don't know about. Most of those examples are from Howard Kazanjian's biography, A Producer's Life, published in 2021.

On some of the uncredited dialogue and story revisions for Star Wars:

On some of her work in Star Wars:

On having the iconic trench run on the Death Star as her biggest work while working on Star Wars:

On her uncredited work in The Empire Strikes Back:

On how her input changed the ending of Raiders of the Lost Ark:

On her joining the Return of the Jedi crew, an emphasis in finding the right cut for actors, cutting together footage of Luke in ROTJ after she and George disagreed with the characterization the director had given to Mark Hamill and unable to reshoot footage:

On editing the climactic ending in the Throne Room in ROTJ:

Pictures from this morning and a passage from Terry Pratchett’s Carpe Jugulum that I was thinking about as I walked.

“Everywhere I look I see something holy” is a beautiful way to think about the natural world.

Adding some more PA wildflowers spotted near an old church for @geopsych as a thank you.
