Lets start with a couple gif and some live-blogging:

- They've turned Arthur's room into a tavern!
- Kanen's jaw, again! (this is the third time they've used it)
- You had to open your pretty mouth, Merlin
- Gwaine, so pretty!!!!
- I love that woman! :D
Episode:
- The pretty knights always end up in Merlin's bed.
- It's still summer in Camelot and people always sleep half naked (mainly if Merlin is going to visit them in their sleep?)
- Whoa, that was mean, Arthur. Gah, it hurt just looking at it :( (why do you keep hitting Merlin?)
- Sellers of magical items have a dangerous job in Camelot (because of their clients, not because of Uther)
- This take from Merlin's window has gotten sexier than the first time we saw it.
- Gwen you lucky girl!
- Arthur, are you pimping Merlin?
- Wait, the knights are sharing the bed, right?
- Oooh, another Will :(
- Oh, the Gwaine/Merlin I ship it
- Gwaine is taken with Arthur
- Wasn't Lancelot banished with those same words?
- Merlin, you told Arthur about Valiant in 1x02, why can't you tell him about this??????
- Oh, Morgana is still in Camelot!
Some kind of coherent review (because this episode was completely stolen by the beauty of Gwaine and we know there's going to be tons of ):
- The round table knights are going to be dashing. (all right, not very coherent :P)
- I don't get why Arthur keeps throwing stuff at Merlin. That's not friendship (although
gealach_ros is
right, the sound department overdid it).
- The episode was a remix of "Lancelot" and "Valiant" and I had no problem with that, except that it makes more evident how things have changed between Merlin and Arthur: Merlin is not even capable to tell Arthur that the knights plan to kill him (as he did in Valiant 1x02, when he had just been appointed Arthur's servant). I don't know if this is because Arthur won't listen or because we dreamt Series 1 (I'm starting to think it's the later).
- I loved Gwaine with everyone (Gwen, Merlin, Arthur, Leon...) and I hope he comes back soon!
- Merlin talking about Balinor breaks my heart :( It's kind of sad that he can talk about his father to an (almost) stranger but not to Arthur.
I think this was the best episode of Series 3!
Good vs. Bad guys tournament: Morgana was on screen about 5 seconds and Gwaine stole the episode so much I'd give him two points (but I won't :P). So, we have a draw: 2-2.
