The Dragon's Call
So I decided to start (again) a new project that I will probably just as I did with the SPN episode reviews. But this time it's gonna be a picspam! A Merlin picspam to be precise. So maybe it'll fair better considering I get to look at they're adorable faces more than I get to write.
So here we come!
Merlin
Season 1 Episode 1 - "The Dragon's Call"
Look at him. All alone in the big world. With his neckerchief flowing in the wind.
And while we are at this photo - Did he really go all this way on foot? And how exactly big is that country? Because looking at these mountains I'm kind of convinced that he used some kind of teleportation spell to get to Camelot.
I really don't intend to post such a frequent screencaps but there is one thing here that I couldn't ignore: Where the hell did the road go? Don't tell me that you have to go through the forest to reach one of the greatest cities of the time?
I'm sorry. I just really wanted to post a picture of Camelot at dawn.
And we are introduced to King Uther Pendragon as a series arsehole.
"Oh, look! We have now killed innocent magicians for 20 years! Let's throw a feast! Yay!"
And look, there comes a grieving mother. Grieving people are really popular bad guys in this series. Which is a little unsettling when you stop to think about it. They should just let them kill the arsehole.
And by the way, why are there so many people watching an execution? Didn't they have less bloody and more important things to do? Like making food or something?
I don't know if anyone else noticed, but Merlin looked weirdly happy when she used magic and disappeared.
Is it only me or is Gaius' workroom looks like a mad scientist's lab?
And no Merlin, of course he didn't notice you using magic, that was so~ subtle. Like a kick to the face.
And who in their right mind sends a young and inexperienced sorcerer to the capital of magic hate and warlocks executions?
Enter Gaius and his Eyebrows of Shame!
And yes, of course when someone comes into your chambers, use magic and then you stress and scares the crap out of him, then - and only then - you should eventually ask him who he is. Because that really doesn't matter, does it?
People in this show have weird tendency to show their bad/stupid/mean side to the people they don't know, don't they?
And for the record - for someone who is supposed to be an intelligence to Merlin's stupidity, Gaius is a little bit absent-minded. I just love: "But you are not supposed to be here until Wendesday!" "*confusion* It IS Wendesday"
But he is very cutesy polite with his 'thank you'.
Just look at his happy wonder-face! He is such an adorable lad that I just want to squish him and hide him in my closet. Which is not creepy at all.
And I only just realized but maybe he tried to start a cowboy style fashion few centuries too early with these neckerchiefs?
And he reminds me so much of the princesses in the Disney's musicals in this scene.
And welcome Morgana. Sweet, smart, beautiful Morgana. Seriously, I've never seen such a beautiful woman. I would go lesbian for her. I totally would. The fact that she's the only one that thinks there is something wrong with celebration because of chopping someone's head off gives her a lot of points too.
Let me introduce Lady Helen - the finest singer in the kingdom. We're seeing her for the first time in the tent in the dark woods. I'm pretty sure something bad is going to happen to her. I'm just saying.
The tweaks are snapping, we see a shadow, Lady is starting to get scared and...
Pick-a-boo! That's only him. There is nothing to worry here.
And just a sideline note: If you were a bandit in a forest at night, would you answer to a guestion "Who's there?" and reveal not only your identity but your position as well? Sometimes it scares me how stupid can the law-enforcers in this show be.
Yeah, yeah, we already saw something like this and nothing happened. What now?
Oh look! A grieving mother! I bet she's not here to sing with Lady Helen. I guess we already know what is going to happen.
...
She killed her with a voodoo doll. Oh God, how lame it is? I mean, not that he voodoo dolls are lame. They are actually pretty cool, but the way she did it was...well, lame.
You have to admit this is so much better than any plastic surgery. And so less painful.
The mirror will tell you the truth~~ Just like with vampires.
Darn, I'm a sucker for blue eyes. And these are really blue. Except when they are golden, but than they are even more kick-ass.
And didn't he find it a little bit creepy that someone is calling him in the middle of the night? And if the show writers didn't intend us to know at the first scene who it is, maybe they shouldn't call the episode "A Dragon's Call".
And the telepathy thing dragon mysterious caller has? Actually quite handy device. Just calls him mentally and he's coming. Better than a mobile phone.
Oh for all that is holly - WHAT IS THIS? Isn't Gaius a court physician that saves people's lives? Shouldn't he have an access to meals that royal kitchen provides? Anything, just don't let him cook again. I'm not even sure I want to know what is in this thing.
Subtle guys, really subtle. Both of you. I don't see you winning Mr.Stealth awards any time soon.
And no Merlin, letting go of the bucket is not going to convince this clearly educated man that his bucket didn't floated in the air just a minute ago. Just thought I would point it out to you.
And wow, there were mops in medieval times. I did not know that. And sandwiches. Also did not know that.
And Merlin's "It just happens" cracks me up every time. As does Gaius' "I just have to keep you out of trouble". Good luck with that my friend.
Oh well, let's just hope he won't go into some catatonic state or something and move along, shall we?
Hello, there. Meet the prat. The witty prat. The snarky prat. The arrogant prat. The handsome prat.
The royal prat.
And yes Gaius, you just failed in keeping Merlin out of trouble in this very moment these two meet. You should just kept him in your closet and didn't let him out. Because it's obvious that when someone is wearing a royal colours and an armour (or some parts of it at least) (what the hell it is anyway?) and bullying someone while no one intervenes, it is clearly a shout-out to someone brave or stupid to butt in. That was probably the most chivalrous and most stupid thing Merlin did fora a few episodes.
But really, the exchange of pleasantries is simply too awesome for words.
When you turn off the sound in this scene it looks as if Arthur was asking him for a hug. Which is clearly the greatest thing ever.
Okay, I have few theories. Either Arthur (yes, that's the prat's name - he is THAT King Arthur, just a little younger and prattier) really likes BDSM, wanted to tear the neckerchief off but got himself in check in the last minute (darn him!) or he really wanted to beat Merlin up for being too cheeky with the royalty. I still haven't decided which is my favourite.
And who doesn't look up the royal family of the city they are going to live in from now on? Apparently only idiots and Merlin.
The Grieving Helen arrived. The action's gonna start now. At this point in the episode I was actually kind of hoping that she would really kick Arthur's ass. Not kill him, but at least teach him a lesson. in BDSM
And the Dragon still pesters poor lad who is now in dungeon for being a human being and standing up to the royal prat.
Nothing to see here.
And yes Merlin, I'm sure it's completely reasonable to think that it's the floor that's talking to you. That happens often?
DIMPLE! HE HAS DIMPLE!
And if that eyes, mouth and cheekbones of his weren't enough to make him attractive, he threw in dimple and made me a fangirly goo. Thank you Mr.Morgan, that was mighty kind of you.
I just love Gaius' 'strings'. And these little jerks who take such a great pleasure in throwing vegetables at people too. They are so adorable.
That's Guineviere. I don't like her very much. I'd like her much more if she was lesbian for Morgana but as it is she is a little sluttish for majority of the boys on this show. But other than that she is kind and good hearted and more than a little proud even with her servant status.
"I'm Merlin. But a lot of people just call me idiot." <--- that is epic. Or this:
G: "You just know, Arthur's one of these rough, tough, save the world kind of men and...well..."
M: "What?"
G: "You don't look like that"
M: "I'm in disguise"
*thinks*"Yes, Gaius. I am that special. I'm more awesome than any magician ever." As if his ego needed more stroking after his talk with Gwen and apparently very spoiling childhood.
Yes, Merlin. That is completely normal. You shouldn't be suspicious even a little. After all, every lady keeps a straw voodoo doll in her rooms. Their help with unwanted suitors.
And this scene we have here introduce us to our hero's unhealthy obsession of going trough other people things. Doesn't he know that curiosity killed the cat?
Oh look, Arthur wants to impress his new friend by childishly smartly insulting him and then beating him up with a mace ball on a chain. Cute, like in kindergarten. And Merlin as a manly man picks up a gauntlet because deep inside his heart he's a secret masochist who just want to burn at the stake for using magic in stupid things like market brawls.Or simply understands that the prince had a rough childhood and to show his interest in somebody has to reverse to act like a 5-years old boy.
...
What?
Not only he can kick sorcerers ass with a broom but he can clean with it too! Man of so many talents!
I'm not going to mention that not only that fight was a really pathetic one but also they ruined several stands along the way, which were probably the livehood of the people. Just saying.
But at least he confessed his true feelings: "There is something about you Merlin. I can't quite put my finger on it." I can. He moved things with his mind. Clearly, he's a X-Man.
Let's have some angst, shall we? Don't worry Gaius, he's just being a typical teenager. Be glad that he didn't slammed his door.
Gaius would be a really good parent, he knows how to console unreasonable teenage angst, and how to treat bruises.
The witch is (if it's even possible) less subtle than Merlin and Gaius. But of course nobody suspects anything. Because why should we worry about a powerful magician that shouted bloody treats to the only heir to the throne? She was mad and she's not going to come and do anything because clearly she doesn't stand a chance against His Madness, King Uther and his knights with their swords. She only have magic on her side, right?
And yet, despite her being thirsty for Arthur's blood, I have a feeling that she would be better parent to him than Uther is.
And is it just me or did Uther really hit on her?
What are the sounds Gaius is emitting while sleeping? Because they passed the normal snoring while ago, I think. And I find a prospect of moving blankets a little disturbing and frightening.
Of course there isn't anything weird in some lad going around the castle in the middle of the night. None of the guards on the nightly patrol should notice him and warn him about consequences. Absolutely. And where ARE the guards?
This scene does it. Now, I'm sure now that to be a guard in Camelot you have to be mentally inefficient. Because they all just can't be coincidently dumb.
Why have no one ever told him that maybe going under a castle in the middle of the night to the GUARDED cave while some ghostly voice is calling him is NOT A BRIGHEST IDEA.
Oh, look, a dragon! Who would have thought?
Bloody Everyone
But well, now that the Great Slash Dragon is present he can in very cryptic and annoying way tell our hero about his destined lovey.
Let the talk begin! (and now I will flood you with pictures of the dragon and Merlin's responses) And did you see his talons? What is that?
"Arthur is the once and future king who will unite the land of Albion."
"...Right..."
"But he faces many threats. From friend and foe alike."
"I don't see what this has to do with me."
"Everything. Without you, Arthur will never succeed. Without you, there will be no Albion."
"NO. No, you've got this wrong."
"There is no right or wrong. Only what is and what isn't."
"I'm serious. If anyone wants to kill him, they can go ahead. In fact I might give them a hand."
His face says all I think about that statement of the dragon, meaning: 'Seriously?'
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. None of us can choose our destiny, Merlin. And none of us can escape it."
This dragon probably has probably more fun than anyone in Camelot. Even while being chained under a castle. I bet his calling like that various people on occasion just to spit some cryptic shit on them and leave them puzzled for some time.
"No. No way. No, no.There must be another Arthur, because this one's an idiot."
Lookit his face! Just look at it!
"Perhaps, it's your destiny to change that. "
His face! Like all 'Lol, what. And what am I supposed to do? Beat him over the head until his smarter? Or audition for his tutor's position?'
And off he went not caring about Merlin's desperate "Wait!"'s.
"It just happens" I wish I had this excuse for the state of my room. Which is weirdly similar to that of Merlin's.
Let's be suave about impersonating Lady Morgana's handmaiden, shall we? I find it a little weird that playing a girl brings him so little difficulty. But at least we know now that Morgana really is one of the people with brain in that castle. She doesn't like Arthur very much and thinks he's a prat. She's a very smart girl. And beautiful. Did I mention beautiful? I think I'm having a girl crush on her.
Mr. Stealthy McStealth is being stealthy. Let's be glad that Gwen saved him from utter humiliation and stocks by coming in the right moment.
And what were you so nice and smart about? Look where it got you. You won't sing like a fallen angel any more.
This show have an unfair tendency to killing off innocent servants. No wonder the prince didn't have a manservant up until now.
ARFDGHHJHKGHD.
God have mercy, indeed.
I think Gwen has a little girl crush on her lady too. And the entire conversation here is just adorable. She's being all bubbly and "Who'd wanna marry Arthur?" and Merlin being stupid and not noticing when she's hitting on him. I could burst from inside squee.
Did nobody notice that she's not exactly singing in English? Or was it normal for singers to not to?
I look like this during my Maths lesson. But I've never fallen asleep while someone was singing. They had to think her very boring.
Oh, wow. Someone DID notice. Kudos for our hero. And just so you know, when I try do cover my ears like this it doesn't exactly work, but hey, maybe for him it's different.
Where does all this web comes from? Because if there are some super quick and large spiders at work, let me just tell you - EWW~.
Yes, thank you. Up to this point we didn't realize who is her real target. What's with "Son for a son" and so on.
Yes, I just really wanted to post such a sweet looking Bradley.
Merlin uses a trick with a chandelier. Not overly original but in most cases working. Everyone wakes up very confused.
Told you, you should have worried about the shouting witch.
Slow motion scene! Sweet! It's like in an action film, only you know, not.
Merlin should just have given him the hug when Arthur asked instead of jumping him on a very public feast. I mean, his father's standing next to them!
Oh right, he was saving his life. Of course. If you say so. I'm just saying that they look weirdly dazed if that's the case.
The witch is dead. You should throw another feast.
Is anyone else find it ironic that they actually celebrated lack of magic in the kingdom when this happened?
Uther is being grateful. He should award Merlin somehow.
And do you see Arthur's face? Like "WTH? HE saved me?"
I'm pretty sure I said award. Why are they both being punished? Just look at they're confused, angry faces and Arthur's outraged "Father!".
I have a theory that nobody wanted to take position of prince's manservant under normal circumstances and Uther had to resort to this to stop Arthur from ogling random chambermaids.
'Not you too. Why is everyone saying that I have to protect that prat? I don't even like him.'
He gave him a book of magic! How precious is that? But how he managed to have it for so many years of prosecution against sorcerers is mystery to me.
There is a bright future ahead of this boy. Or very busy future seeing as he is now Arthur's manservant.
Well, that's all. That is actually much longer than I intended it to be but it seems that they are too much for me to resist and held myself in check.
Goodnight
So here we come!

The witch is dead. You should throw another feast.
Is anyone else find it ironic that they actually celebrated lack of magic in the kingdom when this happened?
Uther is being grateful. He should award Merlin somehow.
And do you see Arthur's face? Like "WTH? HE saved me?"
I'm pretty sure I said award. Why are they both being punished? Just look at they're confused, angry faces and Arthur's outraged "Father!".
I have a theory that nobody wanted to take position of prince's manservant under normal circumstances and Uther had to resort to this to stop Arthur from ogling random chambermaids.
'Not you too. Why is everyone saying that I have to protect that prat? I don't even like him.'
He gave him a book of magic! How precious is that? But how he managed to have it for so many years of prosecution against sorcerers is mystery to me.
There is a bright future ahead of this boy. Or very busy future seeing as he is now Arthur's manservant.
Well, that's all. That is actually much longer than I intended it to be but it seems that they are too much for me to resist and held myself in check.
Goodnight
