Merlin 2x04 MASSIVE Episode Reaction/Picspam (SPOILERS)
Sorry I’m late for this, I had a birthday party to go to yesterday and I was too tired to watch the episode when I got back. But I’ve watched it now, and I have a lot to say! No, really. A lot.
Merlin 2x04 (Lancelot & Guinevere AKA Thunderdome meets The Princess Bride) MASSIVE Episode Reaction/Picspam (SPOILERS)
*Is it weird that I find Arthur helping Morgana onto her horse and then moving her cape back out of the way oddly charming? He’s such a prat usually, so when he’s being inadvertently sweet or gallant it makes me do this ---> ^____^ <3333
Also displayed: horse bling
Also displayed: A rare fashion misstep from Morgana
*I think Angel is lovely and anyone who’s hung around me for half an hour knows my opinion of Bradley “Don’t Hate Me ’Cause You Ain’t Me” James, but, IDK, the show isn’t really doing a lot to convince me that their characters are MEANT TO BE, OMG. Gwen (sometimes, occasionally) being able to point out to Arthur when he’s being an ass and needs to change =/= instantly falling in love with each other and having an epic angsty romance. The show is getting ahead of itself rushing into this storyline; it feels ham-fisted. Exhibits A and B:
Admit it. You laughed a little when you saw Arthur’s manpain face. It’s alright, so did I
*At first I wondered why Merlin was carrying around a gigantic dildo (I mean, I knew Merlin and a gigantic dildo would cheer Arthur up, but I was wondering how that got onscreen on a family show)
*…And then I realized that was Arthur’s phallic crossbow. =o/
I like my initial interpretation better
*A huge, billowy red cape is not ideal for fleeing bandits
*“I wish to bathe.” IN A CAMP FULL OF MERCENARY BANDITS? Morgana, you have balls of STEEL. I know it’s a part of your escape plan, but, damn, girl. Even the S&M bandit in the shiny chainlink vest is incredulous
*Re: Morgana undressing in front of the pervy bandits: oh, my embarrassment squick, it is pinging. #facepalm# First oversized dildos and now naked women. What kind of family show IS this?
*MORGANA BEATS UP BADDIES IN HER UNDERWEAR LIKE A STRAIGHT-UP SMOOTHASS MOTHERFUCKER, AND I FALL A LITTLE BIT IN LOVE (also, Morgana does the twirly-sword move too. I wonder if Arthur taught it to her or she taught it to Arthur)
*LOL S&M bandit #2
*Alright, let’s just say it. Arthur’s Knights are the BBC Merlin equivalent of Star Trek’s Red Shirts: random subordinates who go into a battle and die while the title characters live. They’re even wearing red!
*Return of S&M bandit! Also, Gwen looks pretty, despite the clashing color palette
I cut off part of this screencap because the right side was full of blurry old-man face. Trust me, I did us a favor
Another picure of S&M bandit, because I think we need to take a second to focus on the ~*~fabulosity~*~ of his armor
*LOLLLLLLLLLL. This is the episode of manservants with dildos, naked warrior noblewomen, voyeuristic bandits, and pervy old men in furs. And we’re only 10 minutes in!
*“Morgana. Perhaps if you would stop shouting at me for one second, you would notice that I am packing.”
“…You’re going after Gwen.”
“Of course I’m going after her, what do you take me for?”
LOL, awwww. This episode has had several moments of unexpected adorableness between Arthur and Morgana
*Oh, Merlin. Using attacking barrels as a diversion, really? Either you’re very thoughtless or you actually WANT to get caught and beheaded. #facepalm# You’re lucky you’re so pretty
*“What did you do?! I said distract them, not knock them out!”
“There’s just no pleasing you sometimes.”
*Pimp cup
*I’m sensing that the head bandit dude is going to help Gwen sometime this episode, as this is the second sympathetic look he’s shot her
*EVERYONE IS S&M THIS EPISODE! LOLOL
*Lancelot cut his hair off when he became the poor man’s gladiator. Where’s your luscious hair, Santiago? Where is it???
*“Only one of you will emerge from the cave alive.” That’s right, the BBC is bringing back motherfucking THUNDERDOME! I wish they’d gotten Tina Turner to reprise her role as Aunty Entity for this episode. Also missing: MasterBlaster
*Look, they show blood now! Kind of. Occasionally
*Lancelot gets through proving he’s nobody’s prison bitch. Haiiii Lance
*EW EW GIANT RAT
*LMAO at Merlin falling asleep on his horse! Also, he seemed pretty comfortable with Arthur splashing things on his face. The bukkake jokes write themselves
*Awww, I have to say, I did enjoy it when Lance and Gwen talked through the grate on her window (BTW, how PRETTY were they in that scene? So much). It did feel a little intimate, though, considering that we only saw Lancelot in that one episode in season 1 and Gwen was still mostly just crushing on Merlin back then. But at least it wasn’t as sudden as the whole Arthur/Gwen thing; Lancelot has definitely been interested in Gwen since he first saw her, and Gwen-if I’m remembering correctly-was starting to feel a little attracted to Lancelot as well by the end of 1x05. So I guess I can buy this reunion between them. Also, it’s interesting to see how Lancelot’s changed as a character here; his idealism has been beaten down, but it’s still not gone entirely
*Arthur really does like pouring things on Merlin
*“I’ve never seen you like this. About anyone.” Well, Merlin might not ever have seen Arthur frantic to go save somebody, but we sure have-in episode 1x04 (The Poisoned Chalice), where Arthur rushed to go fetch a life-saving flower for (writhing, sweaty, “Faster, Arthur, go faster!”) Merlin. ^___~
*In romantic episodes, Gwen’s ladyfriends always get some airtime
*Looking good, Arthur
*OMFG. OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD. lady_razzle, YOU WERE SO, SO VERY RIGHT WHEN YOU CALLED THE RAT CREATURE A RODENT OF UNUSUAL SIZE LAST WEEK. RIGHTER THAN YOU KNEW. LOLLLLL, the BBC Merlin writers are actually ripping off The Princess Bride and making Arthur and Merlin into Westley and Buttercup (I’m not sure who’s supposed to be whom) and having them travel together through the Fire Swap the Tunnels of Andor and fight off Rodents of Unusual Size wildren
*HAHAHA, I LOVE THIS WHOLE CONVERSATION:
Merlin: Oh no. I know that face-I’m not going to like this, am I? What’s in the tunnels?
Arthur: They’re…infested with wildren.
Merlin: What are wildren?
Arthur: They’re like giant-
Merlin: #wide-eyed doe look of sad and bewildered terror#
Arthur: …baby rats.
Merlin: #happyface of happiness# Baby rats? They don’t sound so bad!
Arthur: They feast on human flesh.
Merlin: #quickly# Maybe we should go over the mountains.
*LOL stealth stinkberries
*Merlin: Ah! I just stepped on something!
Arthur: That was my foot.
*I like it when Arthur grabs Merlin and puts him behind himself so he can protect Merlin from whatever dangerous thing is attacking them that week. DON’T JUDGE ME
*Ew, monster snot. This show does love its gross-out moments
*Gwen, to Lancelot: I didn’t even know I could feel this way about someone.
Ooooh, not even for Arthur? Pwned
*I think we need to pause things, just for a minute, so we can acknowledge how gorgeous Merlin looks in this cap. COLIIIIN <333
*I have never seen anyone else besides Merlin make Arthur smile this way
Was that smile even in the script, or can Bradley just not contain his blinding smiles when he’s around Colin?
*BOYS
I truly believe this was their reaction when they learned this was a het episode.
Also, could Merlin BE any more sweetly lovely in this pic? No, he could not. You just know some new knight or visiting nobleman has tried to hit that, only to get shut down by Arthur and/or Arthur’s knights (I have a theory that Arthur’s knights were just as unwillingly charmed by Merlin as Arthur was, and have gotten rather protective of Merlin now that they consider him one of their own-especially since they know how innocent Merlin is, and don’t know he can use magic to defend himself).
Merlin probably didn’t even realize he was being propositioned that one time, he was probably all, like, “Why’d you have to be so rude to Sir Englewood? Honestly, Arthur, would it kill you to not be a prat once in a while?” and Arthur would be, like, “Oh, excuse me for saving you from Sir Englewood’s clutches. How terribly uncouth of me. By all means, if you want to end up belly-first on a haystack, go after him,” and Merlin would be, like, “What do haystacks have to do with anything?” and Arthur would be, like, “You really are too stupid to live, aren’t you,” and grab him by the scruff of the neck and haul Merlin back to his (safe and handsy-nobleman-free) room.
And the next morning Arthur would make Merlin practice swordplay with him as punishment for being too stupid to live (and for being too stupid to realize when a nobleman was about fifteen minutes and a glass of ale away from relieving him of his (kind of obvious) virginity, I mean really, Merlin), and after practice his knights would look at Arthur all disapprovingly, silently displeased, and Arthur would be, like, “What are you lot glaring at me for?” and one would say, “It’s just that-sire, you know Merlin is especially fragile, structurally speaking, so it might be a bit damaging for a man such as yourself to spar with him,” and another would say, “And we all saw how Sir Englewood was hassling him last night-and well good that you stepped in when you did, majesty, or we would have, in a manner not half so gentlemanly as yours-so, what we’re saying is, perhaps you should take it easy on Merlin today.”
And Arthur would, like, make his I-hate-the-world pouty face and stomp off, but he’d secretly be pleased when he saw his knights smacking pushy, doesn’t-know-his-place, attempted servant-seducer Sir Englewood around in “sparring practice” later that day.
God, and now I want fic. #facepalm#
*Love makes you do strange things? Like what, Merlin-like stay in a place where magic is outlawed so you can save the prince you love with the magic you were born with and which you could, at any moment, be executed for if anyone found your secret out? Was that along the lines of what you meant?
*I would hit this like the hand of an angry god
*“I can’t ask Guinevere to wait for me.”
“If she feels as I you do, she’ll wait for you.”
LOL, well Gwen seems to have moved on alright, IMO ^___~
*Oh, Arthur! You were doing so well at sharing and caring (and looking so pretty whilst doing so!), and then you had to start with the threats if Merlin ever let on about your manly emotions of emotional manliness.
*“We could talk about your feelings while we walk.”
“Shut up, Merlin.”
*In episode 2x02, Arthur kisses Gwen (he initiates the kiss). In episode 2x04, Gwen kisses Lancelot (she initiates the kiss). This is significant, as is her telling Lancelot previously that she “didn’t even know [she] could feel this way about someone” and telling him after their kiss that “as long as [she] lives, her feelings for [Lancelot] will never fade.” Also, not to get too metaish with this silly show, but, while the same soppy music played in both the Arthur/Gwen and Lancelot/Gwen kisses, the Arthur/Gwen kiss was filmed totally in the light (it was pretty much awash in sunlight; there was even a GQ lens flare!), but the Lancelot/Gwen kiss was filmed almost totally in darkness (you could barely see their faces!). Foreshadowing, much?
I think it’s being stated pretty clearly in this episode that Arthur loves Gwen (or, he thinks he does-IMO he’s just infatuated with her and thinks he loves her, but that’s another meta) but Gwen and Lancelot really do love each other. The legends themselves and the tone of this episode are letting us know that none of them are likely to get a happy ending, though. =o/
*WHY DOES EVERYBODY SCALE MOTHERFUCKING WALLS LIKE MOTHERFUCKING JASON BOURNE IN THIS SHOW?
*Merlin agrees with me
He also thinks that Arthur’s just showing off, hahaha
*<3333
*LMAOOOO, they should just rename this episode “Merlin and Arthur are adorably adorable together and also sometimes Gwen and Lancelot angst. But did I mention that Merlin and Arthur are adorable together? Because, yeah.”
*Hehe, they keep the guards fit in BarterTown (another Thunderdome reference. Don’t mind me, here in my little bubble of nerdiness =o)
*Oh, Colin Morgan. Your proud little face makes me happy ^___^
*Merlin tries to use his patented “drop a chandelier on the bad guy” move, but Aunty Entity (what I’m calling the king dude that wears a lot of furs) is sprier than he looks
*I like you even when your eyes are yellow
Actually, in this lighting his eyes look like they go white instead of yellow, which I’m fond of
*Aunty Entity gets eaten by a naked mole rat Rodent of Unusual Size wildred (is that the singular of “wildren”? I’m too lazy to go back and check. Oh well, it’s an ugly monster, that’s all you need to know)
*Re: scene around the fire: AWK~WARD! Also, Arthur manages his own special trick of being a sweetheart while simultaneously being a prat when he lies about why he came to get Gwen
*I would hit this like a meteor crashing into the earth and killing all the dinosaurs
*Will everyone stop being so fucking chivalrous??? Arthur won’t pursue Gwen so he doesn’t get between her and Lancelot and Lancelot won’t pursue Gwen so he doesn’t get between her and Arthur. Clearly, Morgana is going to snatch Gwen away from both these fools, and good for her!
*Poor Merlin has to walk back to Camelot in his little child-sized chainmail while Arthur and Gwen ride! Not on
*Lesbianism: because how fucking cute are they? <333
*“Look on the bright side! You’ve still got me. ^___^” OH, MERLIN, ILU
Promo spoilers are okay (if you’re spoiler-free for Merlin, be careful of the comments)
