No, seriously, here's a picture

I'm sorry, this is just giving me far too much amusement -



Lo, the map! That Arthur consults! With great solemnity!



And... detail:

Really? *facepalm* That's so someone being lazy. I can see drawing the tower on there, but tiny. Not huge so it takes up most of the page so you don't have to worry about filling up the rest of the space. That's like changing the margins on your research paper so you don't have to put so many words on the page.

I am just dying thinking of Arthur riding around all day periodically checking the map because he can't quite remember where he's going....

There's a metaphor here, about aiming for the phallic object...

[giandujakiss]

You can probably say that about everything in Merlin.

My reaction to that map in the ep was, "Yeah, that's not phallic or anything."

I'll give 'em this: unlike Supernatural last week with the old Campbell journal, the Merlin art department at least did some calligraphy instead of slapping down a cheap handwriting font.

[giandujakiss]

I don't even remember the Campbell journal, actually - I'll have to watch for it. Mostly, this just stood out for me because it so obviously does not fulfill its function.

What I love is the teeny, tiny little bridge that is pretty much the only other detail than the massive tower.

[giandujakiss]

Well how could he be expected to find it otherwise?
