Excalibur is not a thing, something you can hold in your hand.
Excalibur is the good in you.
The power to do good, to stand up for what's right, to slay dragons, to capture bank robbers.
You always carry Excalibur in your heart.


Robert Tinnell, Kids of the Round Table (1995)

Arthurian TV Update

BBC1's Merlin finishes the run of its third season next month on SyFy on Fridays at 10 PM, while Starz premieres its own Camelot on April 1, a Friday this year, also at 10 PM. One wonders about the coincidence of this choice of time slot.

Of course, the Merlin always seemed perfect for family viewing (NBC's airing of the first season at 7 PM was great), and SyFy's own decision to air the series at 10 PM (and repeat at midnight) never made sense to me.
