Merlin 111: The Labyrinth of Grendef
ARTHUR: Okay, go and flush out the mysterious animal so we can kill it.
MERLIN: It might be dangerous! Don’t you care about my safety?
ARTHUR: Stop being such a girl! Clearly the answer is no.
MERLIN: But just last week it was all ‘Arthur cares about him’! We were two sides of the same coin!
ARTHUR: Scriptwriters’ retconning. Suck it up, Merlin, at least you didn’t get a kiss revoked like Gwen.
Merlin 111: In Which We Learn Why You Shouldn’t Enter The Forbidden Forest>
So Merlin’s definitely a virgin. Awesome.
The Darth Vader music may have been a little over the top, guys. But then I’m on Team Zombie, what do I know?
“I don’t understand how Arthur can have taken any pleasure from killing the unicorn.”
“Arthur’s a hunter, it’s in his blood. Whereas you’re something entirely different.”
I know the whole different-types-of-people is an appealing idea because it allows for simple categorisation of people, which is problematic. But I really like the approach the programme took there, because God knows it could have got moralistic and judgemental of Arthur - particularly since this is a BBC programme, and the hunting debate still refuses to die.
Arthur grabbing Merlin’s nape and forcing his head down FOR THE WIN!
Uh-oh. Riots in 3, 2, 1...
The Keeper of the Unicorns is a twat. Since when did dressing like Cher make you God?
Get Arthur passing the test of mercy. Yay Arthur!
Much love for the Arthur/Merlin banter in this episode.
Poor angsty Arthur.
LOL, I love Morgana’s random white fur at the height of summer. Charity begins at home! And so does looking like a polar bear.
It says something about me that during the rat-meat scene, I wasn’t giggling at the gross comedy, but panting over dom!Arthur forcing Merlin to obey orders. Probably the something is that I need to get laid.
No fair, testing-thief-who’s-clearly-the-disguised-Cher!Sorcerer, playing on his daddy issues. Still, Cher!Sorcerer is definitely pushing Arthur down the arduous path of character development.
Who will reach the Triwizard Cup first?
The riddle of the goblets! This is a fun idea. And of course Arthur proved himself a hero. And Merlin proved himself a little silly by falling for the “look over there!” trick.
AWW MERLIN.
“He’s not dead.” NO! RLY?
This wasn’t my favourite episode - not bad though. And I’m definitely excited for the next one! Drama! Dilemnas! Destiny!
Uther threatening restraints!
