ANTHONY HEAD as UTHER PENDRAGON.

MERLIN (2008-2012)

[thebookluvrr1816]

Queen Guinevere gave Lady Morgana a ring that was nearly identical to the one she later gave to her lover Lancelot. This shared symbolism between the queen and her former close companion adds subtle sapphic undertones to their relationship. - Extracted from Lancelot-Grail Cycle: The Old French Arthurian Vulgate and Post-Vulgate in Translation, ed. Norris J. Lacy (Vol. 2, Prose Lancelot).

BBC Merlin is insane as a show. Its an adaptation of Arthurian mythos. It's inspired by CW's Smallville (this is 100% real look it up). it stars 4 unknown 20 somethings and British acting legends. It's aimed at kids and families. its a tragedy. Its campy as hell. It will make you cry. It asks you, like Merlin, to believe in the Golden age of Camelot. It never shows you that Golden age. Everyone in the show is the most beautiful person you'll ever see. people will clown on the CGI. Its one of the most homerotic shows of the 2000's. Its an on purpose allegory for queerphobia, but those allegorious queer characters are largely villains. If you watched it when you were 12 you will never quite be able to let it go. This is a curse. This is an experience you wouldn't give up for the world.
