The 30 Day Shipping Meme
Day 30 - Your favorite ship forever and ever and ever?Um... I HAVE NO IDEA. Oh, meme, the very fact that I am doing you should tell you that I jump around from ship to ship like it's going out of style. I think perhaps it's Buffy/Giles, because those two really did a number on me, and I think that they will forever seduce

Ha, you know, with Merlin, I think the writers/creators/actors literally have no clue that Uther and Morgana have smoking hot chemistry that makes them seem more like lovers than father/daughter. It just doesn't seem to occur to them, even though, you know, Morgana's most tension-filled relationship is with Uther, and the very fact that she doesn't get the makeout sessions with all the guys in the cast like Gwen does is because she's subtextually married to Uther (but Katie McGrath really doesn't see it that way, and so she complains that she never gets to kiss anybody). And heck, the one ep where Morgana did get a love interest (which still makes me spit fire when thinking about, by the way), it completely felt like she was cheating on Uther in every conceivable way, and guess what? In the end, it was all about hitting Uther where it hurts. SO MUCH BLATANT SUBTEXT. That the producers and actors seem to be completely unaware of. That just... HOW CAN THEY NOT SEE IT?

And yet with Buffy, I think Joss was very much aware of how people were interpreting that relationship, but the subtext for them wasn't quite as blatant as Uther/Morgana, though I think it was more intentional than Uther/Morgana, which is just... confusing, but probably true.
