I mean, when Lance rode off and everyone was tearfully wondering if they'd ever see him again . . . well, of course you bloody well will! He's going to shag your missus!<BR/><BR/>Then again, if they hadn't based it on the Arthurian cycle, it would have zero legitimacy - just another sword 'n' sorcery rip-off.<BR/><BR/>Oh well . . . at least Morgana gets something to do next week. If I didn't know she was going to roll in the hay with Arthur and give birth to his nemesis, I'd wonder what on earth she was doing there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737235139994190228.post-8686644067847690942008-10-19T17:20:00.000+01:002008-10-19T17:20:00.000+01:00Perhaps the budgie could rub its wings together an...Perhaps the budgie could rub its wings together and create fires. God knows. Perhaps it dropped its ciggie cos that was a 60 a day cough the poor thing had. <BR/><BR/>The bits where lovely Lance killed it and when it coughed all over the knights of Camelot were the best things in it. The rest resembled a cardboard box production line. <BR/><BR/>Morgana looks like she's in trouble next week. She falls prey to Julian Rhind-Tutt whose botox has gone terribly wrong.Frank Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00680654042528560764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737235139994190228.post-46655685481050523972008-10-19T15:41:00.000+01:002008-10-19T15:41:00.000+01:00I agree.

Very predictable plot this week, but I still felt rather excited when Lance killed the budgie.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and the budgie - how did it manage to set fire to one of the buildings in the village it attacked???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
