fuckyeaharthuriana:

Thank you for everyone who watched all together at the past group chats, it was super fun! : D This time we are going to watch the first episode of the Merlin 1998 miniserie (and the second episode the next week)!

HOW

the complete merlin 1998 video is here.

This is a very homemade streaming as… not really a streaming. We will get in the chatroom all together and then we will start the video of Merlin 1998 at the same time! The video will be in English without any subtitles! The chat room is free and open, you won’t need to register, just to chose a nickname.

If you come in late, no problem!, we’ll tell you the minute we are at so you can watch it with us. The movie is three hours but this week we will just watch the first episode!

WHEN

19th NOVEMBER (SATURDAY)

Rome 9.30 pm
New York 3.30 pm
Melbourne 7.30 am (next day: Sunday)

(Check the timezone, just to be sure! I am only sure of the Melbourne one haha, but it is the same as last week!)

WHERE

The chat group instead is here on chatzy (click on Normal connection if you get the https not allowed warning).

…. SO

all you need is
– Load the video (download it, even better)
– Join the chat just a little before the time
– Wait for the countdown and play the video at the same time with us!

  • (check for any changes in this post, just to be safe!)

: D don’t forget to come and watch the movie with us!

So this book does an excellent job of giving context, before the actual story they talk about the characters and how they have been changed by time.  This gives respect to the characters even if Kay is being used to make Gawain look good in comparison.

It has some interesting notes on Cei’s Super Powers, which pretty much are unused now adays.


So weird thing about this particular version of this story.

“The King’s uncle, Sir Mordred, was there, a leader of noble knights, as people heard in the romances.”

I found the story a bit confusing.  Basically the guy they go to stay with is a bad host, and that means he murders anyone who comes to stay with him. 

What was said was that this guy basically beats his house guests, so Kay is like, well I’ll murder/beat him first! (I love Kay.)

Gawain is like, calm down let’s try and be civilized and be really good guests and then he won’t want to Murder/Beat us. 

It was enjoyable but not a lot of action.  The translation was done in such a way to be easy for a modern reader to grasp what was going on.
