Merlin 5.07
I actually quite enjoyed this ep.
[spoiler warning here]
Merlin and Gwaine working together! ♥
Also Merlin Holmes the great detective
Merlin doing magic! Magic that's kind of powerful! I worry that Merlin's magic is a use it or lose it thing, and Merlin will lose the ability to do awesome things if he carries on just using it to knock people out with convenient kitchenware, and I do like seeing him being all-powerful
Old!Merlin is getting, well, old though.
Arthur immediately demanding Merlin's release <3
Gwaaaine.
I adored Leon trying to prepare Gwen for taking the throne
I'm really interested to see what Morgana has done to Gwen-if it is a spell/Stockholm Syndrome/a genuine change of heart (the last one is way unlikely, and will be bad writing, but whatever).
ETA to add: Magic!CPR. I actually missed the weepy!Merlin bit, but the gifs of that bit are just DDDD: Merlin and his sad-face never fail to get me
ETA the second because people keep making good points: DID ALL OF THE KNIGHTS BELIEVE MERLIN HAD POISONED ARTHUR? Really? Really really?
The one thing that bothered me - did the old guy get arrested? Because you can't just arrest people because their wares were used for evil. That's just stupid.
