I found a whole bunch of kindered spirits on Fanpop who love the show - and in a non dodgy way, one almost feels like they're with a different type of family. A family who have the same interest (Hello?! Merlin fans!), write funny postings, and don't argue over who gets the last garlic bread at the dinner table :)
My friends, realising my obsession with Merlin is not of the scary nature, recently suggested that I combat the boredom/monotony of boring meetings at work, or other such events that happen in life with Merlin interjections.
Here is an example of what happened last week. Scene: An extremely loooong and melodramatic meeting where two particular people kept going on and on about some document that was accidentally submitted to the wrong person in another department but was now resolved.
Remedy: Recall the scene from Sweet Dreams (S2) where Merlin mistakenly thought Arthur was talking about declaring his love for Gwen so gave her the note instead - oops!
Remedy(what I said): Yeah, totally. It's like that time when Merlin misunderstood Arthur and gave the love note to Gwen instead of Vivian...Silence..
Nauseating workmate 1: Err..Okay. Right. Next item of discussion?
Conclusion: Sorted!
Note: This is not to be used for ALL situations - well maybe it could be, but you'd need to adjust them to suit. Feel free to do your own, and if that is too tedious then just do the "He's pulling an Uther" re: Being a bully whose makes everyone else pay for his issues (literally).
Bottom line is: Merlin CAN be applied to everyday situations, and it does encourage one to stay sane even in the worst situations :) So in closing: For the Love of Camelot! Bring on Merlin Season 4!
