small mercies

Though I must say that I am horrified, horrified by the liberties taken with the (admittedly sketchy) source material, the possibility that Merlin and Arthur will make out has me just a bit riveted to BBC's Merlin. I kept looking at the actor, thinking - I KNOW him... and then last night it clicked that he was in "Midnight" on Dr. Who. I get on wikipedia to confirm, and find, much to my relief, that he will be 23 years old in a few short days, and I can admire him freely without concern for perviness.

Merry Christmas to me.
