10:01 OMG WTF are you doing with Sir Leon. LEAVE SIR LEON ALONE. You stand up to her, Sir Leon! Man, you're going to get tortured like nobody's business.
...Or you can watch as the undead horde shoots lots of civilians. That's probably more effective, really.
10:05 Man, sure would be great if we had a WIZARD right about now. But hey, keeping secrets is the important thing here.
10:11 Merlin, sending a letter days ago doesn't mean Lancelot's moved on and isn't coming to help. It means you live in the Middle Ages.
10:14 Emilia Fox. That is all.
10:15 Look, it's Merlin's ex! Come back from the dead in a pool of water to help him save his kingdom and kill the zombies. Which turned out to actually be zombies, which I meant to be a flippant sort of thing. And then she disappeared when Gwaine came back. Stupid Gwaine, with his bladder and comedically bad timing.
10:17 DRAGON DRAGON DRAGON YES. Ooh, and look at the authentic little Celtic boat.
10:23 This show really likes putting men in dresses. I'm totally ok with that, by the way. Oh shit, now Leon is going from cross-dressing to shirtless to super-sexy knight and courtier. Thank you, BBC.
10:26 Merlin, nobody important is watching you. If you were ever going to use magic to get out of a dangerous situation, now would be a good time. Or, alternately, you could kill them with Excalibur, because that makes zombies explode.
10:28 Maddie, Percival is in fact wearing a sleeveless chain mail top. I hate him already. Somebody should tell him that his chain mail makes him look like a douchebag.
10:30 Hey, Round Table. I like your scrollwork. Also your democratic aspirations. I'm actually getting a bit verklempt, guys. Everybody's bonding all nobly and with declarations of loyalty and self-sacrifice. KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE.
10:37 I feel weird about Gaius listening in on Merlin and Lancelot's romantic conversation about how unappreciated Merlin and his magic are since Lancelot is the only person who knows about the magic and is also neither evil nor Gaius.
10:39 Children of Britain, be like Arthur and Guinevere, and save kissing with tongues until after you're married.
10:49 OMG, Gaius and Emilia Fox are having an Old-English-off. AWESOME.
10:50 Also, the walls of Camelot are dripping with the blood of an army that cannot die. That's so fucking cool. And now the army can die.
10:56 "Who knows what the future will bring?" In this world, only the Dragon. In all normal versions, Merlin would. He wouldn't tell you, and he'd be in disguise, but he'd know.
10:59 I think this is actually the second stone into which that sword has been driven on this show. Man, that's a good way to end the season. Although without his Fair Unknown birth story, Arthur gets to be crowned rightwise king of England (or Camelot, and then he can conquer everybody else) without needing the sword in a stone thing, so there's a bit of a letdown there.
I don't know if the show's getting better, or if I've just gotten used to the ridiculousness and am now overlooking many silly and anachronistic things, but this season has been quite good. It probably helps that they're including the actual mythologies, rather than just characters with similar names and romantic notions. Also, more screentime for Sir Leon.
