The Darkest Hour 88-90

This week in The Darkest Hour: boats! Horses! And King Uther has grown a beard!

Uther is pretty dreadful, but I so love writing him. I'll actually miss him when the story is done. Fortunately I'll be able to console myself with Merlin, a series currently running on BBC, in which Uther is very much alive and ruthless, looking and sounding like Rupert Giles Anthony Head...

As for the comic, it may have to do without Uther in the future, but look, that's King Lot on page 89! Three cheers for my favourite Irish macho king! ;-)

AH! You fell for Merlin too! I watched season 1 last year and giggled like a little fangirl. If only they hadn't chosen such an ugly Gwinewere... She's totally out of part. But Arthur is such a blond hottie, plus there's all that slash UST, I couldn't resist eheheh :D

Yes, I first heard about the series on LJ, where people had a lot to say about the slashy element. I thought they were exaggerating, but having watched a few episodes I know that they weren't XD.

I don't agree about Gwen though. I think she's cute, and she has this very sweet personality. I like her.

In my opinion, she's outweighted 10 times by the actress who plays Morgana, creating an unbalance into the four main characters (Merlin, Arthur, Gwin and Morgana). And also the actress who plays Nimue is more effective than her.
