I know, that's what irks me is that now, there likely won't be an actual Arthurian t.v. series for... years, at least. The story would do great as a multi-season series, I think. It's just such a shame that they went in this direction.

And I am about as far from being a fan of gratuitous nudity as it's possible to be, so that's just another nail in the coffin for it, to me. It's so... juvenile of these networks to resort to that, like they're jumping up and down and saying "Look at me! Look what I can show that they can't show on cable!"

And, granted, HBO does the same thing with Game of Thrones, but at least in that show the sex scenes are used for character development, taking at least somewhat away from the gratuity element. In Camelot, they just serve no purpose whatsoever. I think it was episode 5 (the last one I watched, which was a couple of weeks ago) a few of Arthur's knights (none of whom have recognizable names from the myth) are staying in some lord's castle overnight, and then, all the sudden... look, naked dancers! Look, group sex! *rolls eyes*

On top of that, aren't the knights of the round table supposed to be paragons of Christian virtue? That seems woefully out of character. I could be wrong on that count, though, it's been years since I read the myths.
Cold silence has a tendency
to atrophy any sense of compassion
between supposed lovers.
Between supposed brothers.
