ZOMG MERLIN SERIES 2 PRESS RELEASE
Mackenzie Crook guest-stars as the guy who's gonna make Merlin all jealous and possessive when he moves in on Arthur! Hahaha. Oh show, you are like the t.A.T.u. of fantasy television. Wave your hands in the aaaaaiiiiir for Adrian Lester a.k.a. MICKEY MOTHERFUCKING BRICKS. homg. yessss. I dunno about this Sarah Parish lady, but sources elsewhere says her character's gonna trick Uther into marrying her, so it's basically episode 1.6 except maybe Arthur will be less useless. Here's to hoping! My guess is that jealous!Morgana will rear her head all over again.
Dear TV Santa, I want oodles of SIR SANTIAGO and ARTHUR/GWEN pls, kthx! And Morgana's past, and Morgana&Merlin magical duo, and LANCELOT/GWEN and Arthur being all like, "HEY, what are your intentions towards my foster sister's maidservant?" all suspicious and protective, except that role should probably fall to Morgana, and Lancelot has to promise to have Gwen home by ten.
Apparently 'Merlin' Series 1 is gonna be replacing the 'Kings' time-slot on NBC. Haaaaaahahahahahahahahaha.
I rewatched Mary Poppins and am of the opinion that Susan and Mary Poppins should hang out. (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
animus_wyrmis, this is your fault.) Maybe Susan is her trainee, or personal assistant, or maybe Mary Poppins just shows up on Susan's doorstep post-TLB because Mary Poppins just shows up wherever she's needed. She measures Susan with her tape measure and Susan measures 'alternately frivolous and stodgy'. "Hmm," frowns Mary Poppins. She compliments Susan on her posture though.
The carpet bag doesn't freak Susan out as much as Susan thinks it could have. She does resist looking inside of it, just in case she sees branches and a wintry landscape, but anyway it's impolite to poke around someone else's things. She leaves it alone, asks no questions. Maybe this time Mary Poppins doesn't sing and take people into pictures drawn on the sidewalk (or disappear into wardrobes), but that's fine, 'cos Susan and Mary just drink tea and talk of sensible things, and sometimes of big things and sometimes of small things, sad things and curious things, and Susan says to Mary oh that is a darling scarf and Mary says thank you. They talk about the fashions of the day for they both like to be well-dressed, and like to take care of their looks.
Mary tricks Susan into self-reconciliation.
'Cos you know who else goes into wonderful magical worlds and dances around with wonderful magical animals, then acts like it never happened? Mary Poppins, that's who. Susan Pevensie and Mary Poppins, otbff of getting over it.
Susan asks Mary if Bert is her, you know, her beau, and Mary says oh don't be silly. But Susan's not stupid.
"Just hold on tightly and don't look down, you'll be just fine," Mary Poppins says, holding her own parasol above her head. Susan grips the handle of her parasol and doesn't tell Mary Poppins she used to ride on the backs of Gryphons. It's poor manners to one-up someone like that.
Then the wind begins the blow.
As much as I love the chimbley-sweep dance scene, all I could think about this time was how they were all probably gonna get the black lung. Speaking of unintentionally horrific things in kids' stories, there's this one Donald Duck comic that ends with several barrels of MERCURY exploding all over the Mexican countryside and all that the characters had to say was "lol it wasnt silver after all!" D-:!
Song of the day: 'So Blue' by Sino Sikat? Filipino R&B and soul.
