The Disir
Holy crap. This ep was beautiful, heartbreaking, brilliantly acted, and has utterly destroyed everything (IMO) this show started as. I was spoiled for the big line, but Colin's delivery made me cry. Actually cry

Yeah, I think I'd like it in an accidental way, rather than Merlin choosing the time to tell Arthur or feelng he has to use it in front of him. To have it revealed for him or for Arthur to accidently see, will be Merlin's worst nightmare. He's always so set in his ways about having control, but in the end it always turns out that because he was so focused on just one strategy, he failed to see the problems of it or other repercussions. His moral compass has wavered more and more over the years. He has always made bad impulsive choice that can overcome him.I just think that one of these times he's gonna be so focused on helping Arthur, that he's going to forget to bring his guard up. But as long as it's epic in it's aftermath, I'm not too picky!
I must be a masochist too, because I want as much angst and anger as they can fit in!
Yeh The WickedDay is a really good example for alot of aspects of their characters an relationship actually. Like you said, that scene at the end of the episode brilliantly symbolised it. For better or worse, Merlin was hugely responsible for bringing Arthur to that moment, and that cut deep for Merlin. Arthur was oblivious to this though; he just saw a loyal friend. There is a huge gap between them at that moment, even though they are closer than ever.
Ha! Can you imagine the riot if the reveal is Mordred? I actually did think of that in a way, and maybe that it wouldn't be the worst idea in the world. Only because of the emotional turmoil it would put Merlin through though. There is something so heartbreaking of Arthur accepting Mordred's magic and using him, and have Merlin sitting by and watching it. I don't want them to do it, but I think it's quite a dark idea.
