merlin!spam thoughts @ 2am, before I crash for the night
commentaries:
what's greater than Bradley and Colin being their bffy selves? Angel and ASH wetting themselves giggling over things like lubbly-jubbly. Whatevs, ever since they went jogging, I've been viewing their friendship anew and they are my new favourite commentary pairing.
Bradley's views on Gwen/Arthur would feel spot on (cus srsly, Lancelot is the better deal - he'll make Gwen feel loved all the time, he'll happily devote his life to her, their union isn't one that'll Shake Camelot Up), if he didn't pull out something like 'Oh, Gwen doesn't feel anything like Arthur's feelings back'. Which, honestly Brads, Gwen can't feel anything back, or allow herself to. Remember that time Arthur delivered a long speech about how Uther wasn't dead yet?
there's a cut ongoing subplot about ladies of court making fun of Morgana? why is it cut? fwiw, if you're trying to isolate her, keeping these in would be a good way of doing that.
Episode love!
lol, firstly, Morgana has obviously become an alcoholic, thereby explaining her extended absences when she was simply too hung over to attend jousts, or care when Lady Cats was taking over Camelot, or any other time this series that didn't involve Gwen's arse being in danger. Or her room being on fire. And on a G/M front, once again, Morgana's lines that might have come across as very shippy if the delivery had been just a fraction different.
Secondly, creepy King-NoPeace and his little servant were like some horrific mirror of Arthur/Merlin if they were canonically shagging and also if Arthur abused their relationship and power dynamics like whoa. And Lady Vivs needs a deliverance from the spell, HELLO.
But mostly, I LOVE CAMELOT: MIDSUMMERS VERSION sfm. True love's kiss is NOT EVEN an acceptable plot device anymore but the show went there. Gwen allowing herself to fall in love is the most gorgeous thing ever, and Arthur is worse than his father when enchanted in love, lol. And there were further flowery adventures, even if Arthur's were all 99p roses, and Arthur and Gwen being terribly cute when not misunderstanding one another, incredibly hot when kissing/stroking for three million hours, and quite heartwarming when finally agreeing to settle their Lancelot problem and openly liking each other.
And next week is Morgana's hangover hell, probably no Gwen, and EXTENDED DARKNESS. Fare thee well, crackiness, you were great fun when you were around. hello, probable awesomeness.
