The beginning of the end - Merlin 4x12

Dec 18, 2011 05:14

It’s not the best episode in S4, but it’s a very nice setup for the final episode. I wasn’t bored one single minute and I loved that not just the leads but also most of the regular characters got a moment of their own, and something very specific to them. (GWAINE! Welcome back! You were missed!)

OMg, seriously, the conversations in this ep set it up SO HARD for a reveal of the Merlin/Arthur variety. I will be seriously seriously disappointed if it doesn't happen, though I'm already bracing myself for the inevitability. I just feel like they've been building to it ALL. BLOODY. SEASON. If it doesn't happen at this point, I will throw my hands up in disgust. If they use Dragoon AGAIN to pull the wool over Arthur's eyes, I will kill everything. It is just seriously, seriously old.

Any sort of finale they have that doesn't include a major Merlin reveal is just going to be so lame-sauce. And it will reinforce the idea that Camelot getting taken over like this happens all the bloody time and truly drastic measures (like Merlin finally just OWNING some bitches with big magic sparkles) will never happen. And then I weep for the show, and wonder why the hell I'm still hanging on. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REVEAL FOR 3 DAMN YEARS AT THIS POINT. AGH.

Long rant is long. But I appreciate everything you wrote; totally in agreement. :

This will be my face right before I put a fist through the computer screen: http://files.sharenator.com/fuck_that_shit_SCARRY_s-s2550x3300-170683-580.png

But yeah, I totally hear you, I feel like everything in this season has been building up to a reveal. Like hardcore. And if it doesn't happen, I'm just going to assume the writers are the SLOPPIEST writers in the history of forever, or they're just big cock-teases or something.

I will be waiting in anticipation for the next episode. God help us all.

OMG! MINDWHAMMIED SAMMY! I LOVE YOU FOR POSTING THIS! THIS IS THE MOST AWESOMEST OF AWESOME GIFS, LOL!

I really, really have to get back watching Supernatural. I'm not the biggest of fans and haven't kept up with the series (I don't even remember what ep/season that gif is from, I only remember I realy liked that ep), but I do love me some Winchesters. :) A good thing to turn to while we wait for Merlin to return. *is already forming a plan*

:DD Glad it made you happy!

I've actually never watched Supernatural and while I know many people in the Merlin fandom love it there are certain reasons I'm keeping away from it, but thanks to Tumblr I have .gifs like this and know many things about it :D

Rant away, dear! If it keeps you from smashing something, all the better! ;)

Yes, they HAVE been building up to a reveal all season, haven't they? Sometimes I feel like I've been imagining it all or putting something wicked-crazy together in my twisted little brain, but then I read posts like yours and I'm all "I HEAR YOU!! I FEEL THE SAME!! WE'RE NOT ALONE!!!"

Every bone and cell in my body tells me we're heading for a reveal, it's been hinted at all season long, but I just can't allow myself to really hope. The want is another thing - can't be repressed, really, when you have them have these beautiful, heartfelt conversations and Merlin being all emotional and wistful and with his heart in his eyes, and Arthur being all "I trust you, Merlin, you're the only one I trust, old friend" and my brain (and Merlin's face) screaming "But how can you trust him when you don't even know him? I WANT you to know him, I want you to see how awesome he really is, but he just won't let you - why won't you let him in, Merlin ( ... )
