May I say, LOVED this episode! I was just transfixed from start to finish!! Oh, Bradley, you just acted the crap out of that Arthur/Uther fight scene! I may have wept :D The ending ruined my life though. Come on! They nearly took a step forward, but took like 6 back! Anyways, enjoy the picspam!
Arthur: I’ve never felt so humiliated in my entire life. I was defeated by a girl.
Merlin: It’s actually quite funny when you think about it!
...
Merlin: Or not.
Arthur: No. It’s like you said. I was hindered because I was fighting a woman. I was worried I was going to hurt her. That’s why she won.
Merlin: You didn’t look hindered.
...
Merlin: I’ll stop talking now!
Merlin: So I take it we’re going anyway?
Arthur: You’re smarter than you look!
Arthur: Are you sure you’re strong enough to hold me?
Merlin: Yeaah! I’m stronger than I look!
***
Arthur: What are you doing? Lower the rope!
Merlin: There is no more rope!
Arthur: Merlin. Do not.. let go.. of the rope.
Merlin: *lets go of the rope*
Merlin: So the horse knows where we’re going. Great.
***
Arthur: I gave her my word. It’s a question of honour.
Merlin: What if she challenges you to do something even less honourable than breaking your word?
Arthur: Will you stop rabbiting on!
***
Arthur: Don’t worry Merlin, I’ll deal with this, you lie there, make yourself comfortable!
Arthur: That must have been how she defeated me! She was using magic!
Merlin: Hmmm.. it didn’t look like she was.
Arthur: And what would you know about magic, Merlin?
Merlin: Nothing.
***
Arthur: Now what?
Merlin: Maybe we should ask the horse.
Arthur: What if my father’s attitude to magic is wrong?
Merlin: You really think that?
Arthur: Perhaps it’s not as simple as he would have us believe. Morgause is a sorcerer, and she has caused us no harm. Surely not everyone who practices magic can be evil.
