Speculation for 2x04 - a different perspective

Sep 24, 2009 12:43

By now many of you will have seen the synopsis for episode 2x04 (I've pasted it under the cut for those who haven't).

Just wondering if anyone else has the same prescription slash goggles I do, because my mind is on overdrive. la_esmeralda_ agrees that some serious speculation is in order.

JUST BEFORE YOU DECIDE HENWHATSHISFACE INTERRUPTS FOREST SEXYTIEM, I'd like to point out Gwen was snapped wearing the dress in Camelot. So. Morgana dresses Gwen up in her stuff. Because she's kinky like that. And sends Gwen out riding. Because it's a dare, or they're coming out to the world, or something.

But YES. Clearly the savage is going to be like, "RA, I HAVE MORGANA. UTHER, UR MONEY PLS." But Morgana would be safe anyway, right? Cus she's at home? So why would Gwen even need to maintain the pretence?

Unless you're right and the forest scene is also in this episode, and Morgana is captured elsewhere in the barbarian castle and thought to be the maidservant and Gwen's lying to keep Morgana safe because oh oh she loves her. And it is so good to have this ep side by side with TKtK, to show what they'll do out of love for each other.

Anyway, whatever it is, Morgana is either drugged or chained to the Camelot floor, because there's no way she wouldn't be rescuing Gwen with the others. And Uther knows how volatile Morgana is re:Gwen. It wouldn't surprise me at all if this is the situation finally forces some actual magic out of Morgana.

IN SUMMARY. THE POST-KIDNAPPING COMFORT SEX FIC WILL BE EPIC.

Oooh, here I was looking for a more complicated explanation, but really, it's as simple as MORGANA LIKES SEEIN' GWEN SWAN ABOUT IN HER CLOTHES. It's a dreadful turn-on. *nod*

But yeah, once Gwen's kidnapped and Morgana's safe, she no longer needs to maintain the pretence, but she's still kidnapped, and maybe Hensisface assumes Gwen is lying? Because he can't do a google image search for "the lady Morgana", and the communication channels are probs pretty slow. Or maybe Gwen kind of HAS to maintain the pretence lest he say "well, shit" and just kill her immediately. XP

AHHH THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH. Episode 4 of any given season is obviously THE ONE WHERE THE SLASH SUBTEXT IS RIDIC.

Don't let me down, writers!

See, you'd think it's about the deep love, but really this entire mess is because the girls enjoy too active a love life. Try explaining that to Uther.

And jeez, you'd think Old Henface would do his research before embarking on kidnap plans. Most Incompetent Villain yet? Aren't there even any medieval gossip rags he can flick through down the local inn for a reference?

YES FOR EP4 PARALLELS. *loves you*

Seriously, all he had to do was pop down to the House of the Rising Sun brothel pub and ask around. They know shit there. They knew Arthur keeps his key on his third belt loop and stows it away in a drawer at night whilst shirtless and washed in moonlight.
