But yes. And also Gene Hunt in a woman's body getting harassed, punching everyone who looks at him crosswise, and having his nearest-thing-to-proper-empathy moment where he's all "This is hard! People keep getting rude, and your knuckles bruise way too easily! Plus, your arms are too skinny to knock them senseless unless you hit them three or four times!" Knowing Gene, he'd probably buy her brass knuckles when she was in her proper body and carry on as usual.

- Merlin and Arthur. SUDDENLY ARTHUR HAS MAGICAL POWERS AND NO IDEA OF HOW TO CONTROL THEM. Merlin, for his part, finds himself completely unable to play the role of the dutiful son and terrified that Arthur is going to get himself executed.

I love Arthur running around doing accidental magic all the time, and not entirely noticing. Merlin would be a terrible dutiful sun, but Uther wouldn't read anything into it, and think Arthur was being irritable and overly-attached to his servant again.
