Je ne comprends pas, je suis anglaaais.

I went home to an amazon package, babbling "let it be Merlin" over and over while I ripped it off and guess what, IT WAS OMG.

So I have now seen all the extras (haven't listened to the commentaries yet) and I have a few things to comment on :

- I'm glad we had some footage of that crazy crazy cast prior to their big break, running around in french supermarkets (to be honest, I am really hoping them to be this unknown by the french public next year, then we'll be only 5 fans over there stalking the set, yes.).

- Bradley isn't perfect afterall, he has very bad skin ! I find that discovery quite soothing for some reason, eh.

- Angel seems completely adorable, I loved the bit about her and Bradley bickering on the streets of Pierrefonds <3

- Bradley is a Buffy fan, which made his first encounter with Anthony Head a bit awkward, bless.

- Eve Myles coming on to Bradley in her old witch makeup was ftw XD

- ANTHONY HEAD NOT BEING RECOGNIZED ANYWHERE HE WENT. Right how did that work exactly ? BECAUSE THE MAN EXUDES AWESOMENESS. RIGHT IN UR FACE.

- I found Colin Morgan rather hot in these extras, wait, what ?

- Bradley has awesome spider catching skills, I was IMPRESSED.

- Boys, the practical joke was cute but it would have been more effective if your sentence had made sense in french. *pets*

- BRADLEY BEING A DORK, IN GENERAL. It looked like it was his default mode, WHICH IS NOT AT ALL ATTRACTING ME TWICE AS MORE, NO. *is doomed*

What amazed me about Colin was his warm smile. I mean, Merlin's smile always has a sort of smirk-ish edge to it, while Colin's is PURE OPEN-HEARTED FLUFFINESS. I MIGHT HAVE A HUGE CRUSH ON HIM NOW, YES.

Bradley isn't perfect afterall, he has very bad skin ! I find that discovery quite soothing for some reason, eh.

omg. I thought I was the only one who thought it was definitely mention-worthy, because none of the other dudes did on the comms, but THAT, YES, EXACTLY. Not that it's his fault, but it completely put him back in the 'average young man' category.

I WOUDLN'T HAVE APPROACHED THAT SPIDER WITH A PROTECTION GEAR. Those guys are superheroes, obviously.

Someone made a comment, it may have been Galouz I believe, about how it was weird that Anthony Head wasn't recognized, but I'd put my money on it occurring and his co-stars just not filming it and/or editing it out. After all, we got thirty minutes of feature when they spent MONTHS filming - it figures that they'd have had enough material to keep only the really amusing bits and stuff. It was, after all, all about the cast, there was no reason to include any fan reaction to it. (On the contrary, it would have probably ruined the effect by making it less intimate.)

Also - no Katie, and the little we got of her confirmed the vibes I got from her in her few interviews. Booh-a.

BUT HEY WHO CARES BECAUSE ANGEL IS SWEET AND SEVENTY FLAVORS OF AWESOME. I think I'm going to appreciate her character a lot more now! Which is awesome! \o/

ALL IN ALL I LOVED IT AND I HATE PLAY.COM FOR NOT HAVING DELIVERED MY OWN COPY YET >.>

Agreed on Colin's extremely genuine smile <3

And they did not mention Bradley's skin to spare who exactly ? THAT WAS ALL I COULD SEE. And I love it that it's making him more average because perfection is well scary.

YES, THE SPIDER THING. THEY ARE PROPER MANLY MANLY MEN.

Yes they probably edited those fannish bit out. Still, seeing him picking up cheese in the supermarket of Pierrefonds is cracking me up immensely.

As for Kathy, we talked about it with eph and cath today and we got the same vibes as well. You also never see her hanging out with the others so it must say something.

Angel is indeed very sheet !! (I had no idea she was older that the others btw.) She seemed so down to hearth and funny <3

I think I'm going to appreciate her character a lot more now! Which is awesome! \o/

I hope it will have the same effect for me too ! And I hope that Kathy won't influence my views on Morgana because I do love the character

HOPE YOU HAVE YOUR COPY NOW.
