merlin - the hunter's heart

(Waiting a day to post this saved you from an extra long allcaps anti-hunting rant. Just so you know. *g* Also, please don't mention hunter's hearts to me for a while. I just watched Once Upon a Time and am having trouble coping.)

You will be dumped, Show, because there are always others out there who can give us what we need

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo! I hope you will try to stick with this show. I will miss your recaps :(

But I can understand the sentiment. This episode was just utterly horrible and the series has been going downhill since episode 8(Except for ep 10 which I liked). Why is that I wonder?

How about we take a step back and think about Arthur for a moment, Merlin?

So much THIS! Lately Merlin seems to be more about destiny than about Arthur. And his constant support of Gwen over Arthur has been bothering me a lot. She did betray Arthur after all. Where's the anger from Merlin over that?

Sure, you will help Arthur out along the way and you will build Albion together, nobody is disputing that, but some choices are Arthur’s to make, and is Albion really going to be all it’s cracked up to be if it’s ruled by a FUCKING PUPPET? Save the charismatic political figureheads for the future, and let Arthur be the king he’s supposed to be. Otherwise, you may as well just kill them all and rule the kingdom yourself.

Perfectly said!

I am beginning to intensely dislike Gwen. If we get to see her do stuff and she gets praised for it, that's fine. But she does NOTHING, and we spend whole episodes listening to people talk about how absolutely great she is, and how they can't live without her and how Camelot is nothing without her (YUCK!) and yet the people who deserve the credit (Merlin, Lancelot) get nothing. Merlin saying that no one would sacrifice more than Gwen...ugh! Just horrible. Minimizing other people's sacrifice to prop her up.

Episodes like this about Gwen, make all the other characters unlikeable. Arthur was sulky and bad-tempered, taking his anger out on Merlin as usual. Merlin was really annoying trying to control Arthur's love life when he had no business to. The only good thing good about this episode was Princess Mithian.
