Cometh the hour, cometh the geek
(Short Spooks interlude: ghasfhgasfdgh this episode [8.06, that is]. Rambling thinky thoughts wot I enjoyed by daygloparker.)
Now for Merlin it is...
2.11: The Witch's Quickening
+ Well, in all honesty, I did not like it. SRY MERLS. I had been waiting for this episode with a "YAY MORGANA EP!" mentality, and yet it has failed spectacularly. There it goes the whole of my sympathy towards the druids (for now, at least), with that slimy git manipulating Morgana (and Mordred, in a way) into doing his bidding. EEEW CREEP BACK OFF AND DIAF. Also, of course it's him we ought to blame when Morgana snapped at Gwen, yes. >:( I'm so sad that he didn't actually die, as so many supposedly villains before him did, ah well. Everyone knows that COLIN SALMON IS THE KINGS OF DRUIDS anyway, so 'nuff said.
+ What was the witch's quickening bit about? I DIDN'T SEE ANY MAGIC OCCURRING. Meh.
+ The crystal holds ~the secrets of time itself~ oo-er. Where might I have heard this before? Oh, right, Doctor Who. Poor Merlin has caved in to temptation and looked into the Time Vortex and is now privy to spoilers for next week and/or the series finale!
+ Oh Merlin, why don't you impart your secret with Morgana, so that she for once wouldn't need to seek assistance and understanding (and skeevy cohorts) outside the castle. You can be so pig-headed sometimes. Ó_õ Merlin/Morgana/Gwen practising sessions ftw.
+ LORD OF THE RINGS AND MORGAUSE NEXT WEEK WOO.
