Second Half of the Commentary Squee
Excalibur (umm... not much happens)
There isn't really much of interest in this commentary, except that we learn that Gaius' eyebrow thing is completely accidental. *hearts Gaius' eyebrows*
Also, Richard adorably points out who everyone is ("That was Bradley James, playing Prince Arthur." "That's Morgana, we should say.") Like, I'm sure the fans, who BOUGHT THE DVDs and are now WATCHING THE COMMENTARIES don't know who Arthur and Morgana are. *hearts Richard*
Moment of Truth (back to your regularly scheduled Arthur/Merlin shipping)
5:25
Okay, it's been said a million times before, but Katie's remarks on the scene between Merlin and Arthur as Merlin is leaving Camelot are PRICELESS. I mean, first there's "The chemistry between you, that's undeniable" and then "Oh it's so beautiful, look at this moment. There's such a moment between the two of you."
But nothing will EVER compare to this...
Arthur: "Merlin-"
Katie: "I love you."
Colin: "Come on, you're just fueling stuff for websites." (Oh, it's too true, Colin.)
THANK YOU, Katie, for saying out loud what everyone's thinking.
6:45 Here we learn the important fact that Colin, just like Merlin, can't hold his alcohol. As Bradley says, "the evidence is the wrap party, where you drank a considerable amount." ("Of water," Colin insists. Riiight, Colin.) *would love to have seen that* Colin adorably tells us "I don't drink at all. Don't drinks, kids."
9:10 Colin tells us that they were sitting really close to the fire for the scene in the forest, and he burnt his lips. Katie says, "I'm sure there are looaads of people out there who want to kiss it better for you." YES, trufax.
16:20 Bradley informs us that the infamous foot scene is his favorite part. Awww.
Bradley: "Colin complained to the director."
Colin: "No, I didn't."
Bradley: "Well, he did it in a Colin way."
*loves the bickering*
17:50
When Hunith says "He (Arthur) likes you," I COULD SWEAR Katie whispers "Yes, he does," in the background. Did anyone else hear this?
REGARDLESS, Bradley says (in response to "he likes you"), "Dubious, really. 'Tolerates' is probably a more accurate description." TRY TO TELL ME THAT IS NOT ADORABLE.
18:00
Katie asks something like if she's in the next scene (the one where Merlin and Will are talking), and the rest of the cast teases her MERCILESSLY.
Bradley: "We should make the audience aware that Katie suffers from amnesia. We've sent her to various doctors."
Colin: "I think you were the log we sat on."
The next two minutes involve Katie trying to be serious about the scene while Bradley keeps interrupting with log!Morgana comments ("help me," "ah, that feels better"). Colin joins in with "Your hair looks really weird in that scene, Katie. Twiggy."
GOD, I LOVE THIS CAST.
22:05 When Arthur rips the note off of Matthew's back (the one stuck with an arrow), Bradley says, "Party. Tonight. 8 o'clock," and I about die of laughter. Can I please kidnap Bradley and force him to do MST3K commentary for me? Please?
23:20 Even MORE slashy commentary from Morgana. She explains that William is "just jealous, really."
32:30 More amusing commentary from Bradley when Merlin ducks the arrow: "Sorry, technicians, can you put Merlin back on? We just slipped into the Matrix there."
38:20 Now everyone teases Colin for not saving Will with his magic (really, we're all thinking it).
Bradley: "Come on, Merlin, save him. Merlin, you haven't got long."
Colin (in an adorable accent): "Cheers, guys, thanks."
Also,
Bradley: "I'm looking forward to the BBQ later."
Colin: "Harsh, harsh, man, he's my friend."
Bradley: "WAS your friend."
*heart*
41:00 Throughout the entire commentary, Bradley keeps insisting that Hunith is about to get crossbowed. (PING) I get the feeling he's channeling Teen Girl Squad.
IN CONCLUSION, the cast of Merlin is awesome, and I'm really glad we got to see more of Katie this time. Because Katie? WINS AT LIFE.
