This week Laura and Brenda try to talk about nothing but Merlin, which should have been easy considering every podcast for the last two months has started off with them talking about Merlin. Shockingly, after two hours, only 50 minutes was actually about Merlin, so here is that 50 minutes, edited down for your convenience.

WARNING. IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN MERLIN SEASON FOUR, DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST. We start off with spoilers right off the bat. We also spoil the entire show, if you haven't seen any of it yet. It's available on Netflix streaming and season four just started on SyFy this weekend.

If you don't care about Merlin, the good news is, the other hour of conversation will be forthcoming.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! We don't have much to talk about as far as comics or our regular geek television programming. Instead we discuss Christmas specials / movies, then a little bit of our upcoming 2012 convention schedule, and somehow it all ends up back on Merlin.

Music used: Joey Ramone - What A Wonderful World; Klenodier - Hvilken Venn Vi Har I Jesus
