Tonight's commentary features a special appearance from
magicgospelman, who's visiting me, and must thus watch Merlin with me.
10:01 Oh god, Morgana, enough with the smiling. It's just tedious at this point. WE GET IT. YOU'RE EVIL, AND PLOTTING TO DESTROY THE KINGDOM.
10:05 Man, if that turns out to be chloroform, I'm going to be cranky.
10:07 Oh thank God, it's merely something that acts just like chloroform and is just as useful for kidnapping.
10:09 Arthur, you couldn't talk Uther into sending a search party for Gwen last season; why would this one be any different?
10:27 Even for a blacksmith's daughter, that was an improbably successful fire.
10:29,
magicgospelman: "I will smile evilly, and no-one will know. Subtlety is haaaaaaaard."
10:30 Emilia Fox, you're so much better at Old English than everybody else. I love you. Please never leave us.
10:45 Morgana, that was the greatest bit of acting you've managed yet. It's all...convincing and shit.
10:56 Merlin, dear, that was a very timely rescue, but do you absolutely have to blow everything up?
11:00,
magicgospelman: wait, if nobody's ever survived the challenge, and the challenge is the only way to prove your worthiness to hold the throne...?
me: Ssssssh, don't think about it.
