I got tears, but I'd rather spare them

LJ crashed earlier this evening, making it impossible for me to record my quote of the day at the time:

schreibergasse, breaking off halfway through an attempt to describe Excalibur (1981): "God, I did some weird shit at Oxford!"

(Background: he has never seen I, Claudius (1976). I feel we should remedy this situation as soon as logistically possible. The conversation continued naturally through Patrick Stewart from there. For additional reference, I have never seen Excalibur.)

I feel like a lot of depictions, I just don't like all three of them equally.

I think there's supposed to be some early version of the legend where it is solved by poly; or rather, it never becomes a problem in the first place, because the queen's allowed to take lovers just as the king can have concubines, and it's not like Lancelot's an embarrassing choice.
