Merlin: 5:09 With All My Heart

[tanous]

Merlin... the show that teaches its fans what Stockholm Syndrome is all about. This week my expectations were so low that I expected literally nothing, other than more slaps in the face to the fans who give a shit about Arthur and/or Merlin. I expected another ordeal of grandiose tries at fairytale moments, flowery gestures and gruesomely soppy

Re: So does Bradley & look what he says about Gwen

I don't trust Colin at all, bless his heart. I love him to pieces, but you've got to admit that when it comes to what he has to say about the show, Merlin is a sinking ship on fire and we're both standing on the beach completely soaked and half burnt, and Colin turns to you and is like 'well, we totally did it, it was an awesome experience, wasn't it? Plus the ship really resisted quite some time before the fire took over, it was really well built.'

As for Bradley, every time he says what he's actually thinking in an interview I feel vindicated. HE KNOWS, HE GETS IT. He always casually addresses all the issues with the show, like the lack of a women in the cast, and not exactly an issue, but that the Merlin/Arthur dynamics are way more important for the show as a whole (I can't remeber everything he has said, but yeah, if Bradley had his way I bet we'd be watching a completely different show rn). These last two seasons he sort of seemed really displeased as to where the show was going, and he did as little press as possible, I'm not sure if the two things were related, but if they are can you blame him? I love watching him making an ass of himself, but honestly.

Bradley always had such faith in his character, it makes my heart break even more for what they've done to Arthur.
