You're right of course...Thanks for the comment. You're right of course, Merlin is in fact incredibly Xena like, but where Xena takes the piss with History and logic, Merlin does it in a way with Gwen that pretends it's somehow ok to mess with the story that much. Xena always had it's tongue firmly planted in cheek and why I too loved it. <br /><br />As for Ianto? Ratings, seems there was a campaign to save him from the first minute he expired. Why respect those of us who suffered and mourned. Better to pander to people who aren't ready to accept sometimes characters die, it's what made COE so compelling.Mietek Padowiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15817244770926056222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855366915234716879.post-10621166438581267012010-09-13T14:45:51.428+01:002010-09-13T14:45:51.428+01:00I must admit that I actually like Merlin and was r...I must admit that I actually like Merlin and was really looking forward to the new series. Your Mrs is right there is something very Xena about the series (another of my fave shows), my wife has no interest in it whatsoever and was watching The X-Factor instead!<br /><br />Ianto coming back? What for? I think they should leave him dead, it will ruin the end of COE to me if he returns, after all Tosh didn't come back from the dead, so why should Ianto?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
