There's a likely chance that Camelot (on STARZ) won't get another season. There has been no news of a second season when other shows like The Borgias and Game of Thrones have gotten renewals. *sad sigh* And I was enjoying Camelot too. I haven't seen the latest episode yet, but I plan to. People involved with Camelot are going to be in other things...notably the guy who plays Arthur (Jamie Campbell Bower) got a lead role in the adaptation of the book series, The Mortal Instruments.

Info from here: http://camelot-tv.livejournal.com/44660.html

But maybe it's too soon to call. There hasn't been official news yet that there won't be a second season of the show...so there's still hope. I'll miss Eva Green being Morgan if there's no 2nd season -- she's just so good in that role.

Or maybe I should get on finally checking out Game of Thrones/The Borgias. :p

You should definitely check out Game of Thrones and The Borgias, they're both wonderful shows and you actually care about the characters. I can't say the same for Camelot and I was really excited for that show but it's boring and the only characters I could muster any caring for was Merlin and Morgana. I can't believe I'm saying this but Merlin BBC is much more interesting.

I'm planning on checking out Game of Thrones first since it definitely seems like a show I'd enjoy.

I agree with you about Merlin and Morgan -- a big reason why I love "Camelot" is due to Eva Green's portrayal of her. While the show can be boring sometimes and there's melodrama going on, I still like it and I don't want to see it cancelled.

Now I do love Bradley James and Colin Morgan as Arthur and Merlin on BBC's Merlin. They're undeniably my favorite portrayals of those two characters. Plus Merlin fandom is definitely one of my happy places. :) The trouble with BBC's Merlin is the ruin they've made of Morgana's character, which puts a damper on my love for that show. That's why I love that "Camelot" is actually trying to make Morgan likable and not turning her into an almost irredeemable evil character like BBC's Merlin did with Morgana.

In the end, both shows aren't perfect but I enjoy them both either way. I can't wait to start watching Game of Thrones. :)

Oh no! :( I hope it's not true, I was looking forward to two adaptations running concurrently so we'd have our choice between weighty drama or kitten crack. Oh, well. I'm really looking forward to seeing Eva Green in the series. And I'm sure there will be another adaptation before we know it, producers can't seem to stay away from Camelot long.

I'm sorry, though, I know you were enjoying it. If nothing else, it will always be remembered as the series that got you to ship Arthur/Guinevere. Oh those crazy times.

If you decide to check out Games of Thones/The Borgias, please let me know how you like them! I mean, they're already in my good books for starring Boromir/Jeremy Irons, but I'd love to have someone to fangirl with.

(...Huhuhuhuh, Boromir/Jeremy Irons. Now I can't unsee it. And the view's none too shabby.)

LOL at Merlin being kitten crack. *giggles* I agree. ;) You haven't seen more than the first episode of "Camelot", right? It should be a fun ride for you catching up with the show when you can. There have been some good episodes...the Lady of the Lake episode was lovely. Interesting twist on the legend, I thought.

Eva Green is so good as Morgan -- I'm sure you'll like her portrayal. If you're feeling down about Morgana's turn in BBC's Merlin, seeing Eva Green as Morgan is a breath of fresh air (like in "The Mists of Avalon" miniseries where you feel sympathetic toward Morgaine).

Yes, they got me persuaded for A/G even if it's a complete melodrama surrounding them and I feel bad for Leontes. *sigh*

I'm going to watch Game of Thrones first because it seems like my kind of show more. But I'll probably watch The Borgias concurrently as well.

Now I did start watching the first episode of Game of Thrones weeks ago...but I didn't finish the first episode, and I probably shouldn't have started watching it when I was feeling rather tired. I couldn't get myself engaged enough into the episode -- the bed was calling me. :p

But I'm ready to give the show another chance when I'm more awake. *nods* When I learned that one character was named Bran, I got a bit excited. :p He looks nothing like the Bran from "The Dark is Rising" (considering his strange appearance, that's no surprise), but it was still a boy named Bran...it got me intrigued.

(...Huhuhuhuh, Boromir/Jeremy Irons. Now I can't unsee it. And the view's none too shabby.)

Hmmm...I could see that.

Camelot's hard for me, for rls. It's like, Eva is perfection as Morgan, but then there's everything else which I kinda have to skip. Like, the politics aren't exciting enough, nor the rest of the characters, and there's zilch funny. *sigh*

Borgias though, Borgias is brilliant and political and funny and has reams of quality actors in its cast! :D

[dk323.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Eva Green is definitely the one main redeeming value of the show. I admit some moments in the show in general are left wanting.

I've been hearing that Borgias is worth watching. I look forward to giving it a look. :)

With the exception of Morgan, I found Camelot to be rather boring. I am following it, though.

Game of Thrones and the Borgias are definitely worth watching. I'd not read GOT books so am surprised by what is going on but it's very intriguing and well acted.

[dk323.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the last episode I saw (The Long Night, I believe) was a bit boring. I still plan to keep watching the show...I don't find it boring enough yet. The developments (I spoiled myself :p) in the episodes I haven't seen should be interesting, or not, I'll see...

I haven't read the GOT books either. I do love the feeling of surprise, so I'll hold off on reading them. I'm glad to hear that the show's well-acted and intriguing. :)

I've not seen it yet. Apparently it will be shown over here nad I didn;t care enough to watch via 'other' means. Reading around the itnernets though it doesn't seem to have made the huge impact they were hoping.

One example would be on the site Metacritic Merlin actually has one more point than Camelot and higher audience satisfaction. The ratings for Camelot have also dropped and aren't as good as Game of Thrones.

Which is surprising. Technically Camelot had everything going for it.

[dk323.livejournal.com]

Well it's nice that episodes of Merlin are holding their own. :) Admittedly, a weak point of Camelot is the actor who plays Arthur, but after a few episodes, I thought he was getting better.

There are some nice moments on the show. I absolutely love Camelot's Lady of the Lake episode even though it's a bit heartwrenching. Even if the show may get cancelled because it's not doing so well overall, the show did have some memorable episodes/scenes.

I'm going to check out Game of Thrones first. I look forward to seeing Jon Snow. :)

I admit that I did see a part of the first episode of Game of Thrones some time ago. Unfortunately I was feeling rather tired at that time and as a result, it was a bad time to engage myself in watching the show. So I look forward to watching the first episode properly. Game of Thrones is definitely my type of show and I know I'll enjoy it.

I'm sort of glad to hear it was the first two episodes that you found boring. My favorite episode was the fourth one. Some of the storylines aren't that great, I agree. I like seeing the twists on Arthurian legend though. And yes, Eva Green as Morgan is so good. :-) I'll miss her portrayal if the show gets cancelled.
