‘Merlin’ ends its unprecedented good streak of episodes with a hamfisted clunker of an episode that’s all showing and no telling.
The best episodes of ‘How I Met Your Mother’ are all about the juxtaposition between the joy and pain of settling into adulthood, and this week’s knockout struck that balance just right.
Get your notebooks and pencils ready, it’s time for a lesson in major plot arcs and how to close them (or not) – ‘Merlin’ style.
Weak writing is something ‘Merlin’ fans have had to make peace with for a long, long time. So when an episode is finally well-written, is it too cliched to describe it as “pure magic”?
Zach Knighton and Adam Pally of ‘Happy Endings’ spill on guest stars, improv, and their character’s romantic future. (Hint: It’s not what you think.)
While Bros versus Hos may be a fight as old as time, hasn’t Merlin reached the point where choosing between the two shouldn’t even be necessary?
After three heavy-hitting episodes, Merlin goes back to fluff, filler, and campy shenanigans. And I, for one, have no complaints about that.
