Oh wow. In at the deep end much?
MERLIN YOU FAIL GRAAAH. Technically you didn’t have to free the dragon, you could have just said ‘I didn’t say when I’d free you’ because you didn’t and ARGH. And why are you even on the battlements in the first place?
ARTHUR NUUU! Gwen, you idiot, grr...
“Why are you doing this? You’re killing innocent people!” You don’t say, Merlin. I think he might just have noticed. AND WHY DOES NO-ONE EVER HEAR YOU YELLING IMPORTANT MAGICK-Y STUFF?
Aww Arthur. :3 And aww Gaius! You lovely, approving old guy you.
Oh for goodness’ sake, Gaius, that would probably have been useful three days ago, don’t you think?
Uther and Arthur, you both fail. Uther- it would be better to send someone, but no, Arthur, that does not mean you, you twat.
Gaius, you fail at being discreet. Actually, given some of us have already worked out the ‘speshul relationship’ between Merlin and Balinor, that might just be the voice of the Radio Times reviewer talking, but still.
I’m half-expecting Merlin to do a Luke-style ‘NUUUUUU’ here.
He didn’t. Pity. But there’s pretty music instead, so that makes up for it.
Oh for goodness’ sake, Merlin, don’t hate Gaius for keeping a promise. You’re hardly one to talk!
For a moment there, I misheard ‘dragon lord’ as ‘drug-o-naut’. Yeah, I fail.
Yeah, sure, Arthur, that’s what they all say... Ooh, this looks like it’ll be fun...
I always wonder- why does it only ever take them a few hours to ride to the next Kingdom? It takes my family five hours to get to Wales by car.
AHAHA both of you fail at making a good impression in strange places. And don’t be so bloody loud, Arthur. Not when you’re on a SUPER SPESHUL SECRET MISSION.
Aww, Arthur. That’s almost a declaration of love from you there. “Think we’d probably get on” indeed... half the fandom would have you going at it like rabbits, Arthur dearest.
Merlin you liar. You fail!liar, and why does everyone fail so hard today? AND WHY ARE THOSE SOLDIERS IN THE OPEN OH MY GOODNESS THAT’S DUMB
Ooh, spooky footsteps... idk why but I have the oddest feeling it may be... or maybe not.
Determined!slightly murderous!Arthur is win. First bit of win all episode, actually. And no, it’s not ‘alright’. Idiot. And of course a passing patrol of soldiers wouldn’t notice the horses...
Yay Arthur’s rump! xD
Ooh, spoooooky. Spooky spooky caves are good- though it does look suspiciously like they used that particular place for shooting earlier in the series.
AWWWW it’s Balinor. And oh, Merlin... Merlin, you fail at making small talk. And no, you’re not ‘just travelling’. And that’s so obviously Balinor there, idiot child. And Arthur is not Lancelot, you utter, utter twat.
And the child understands at last! Yes you do. You do, you do, you do and he’s right there in front of you AND OH MY GOODNESS SO MUCH FAIL IN THIS EPISODE. Though that might just be because the plot’s a bit predictable when you’ve watched two series of this show.
What on Earth happened to Arthur? I had no idea his voice could go so high.
Aww, Merlin! *hugs* Aww Gaius! And Gwen! Bit miffed that she doesn’t seem to care about Merlin though.
Oh dear Lord, here comes the sappy speech...
Pfft Arthur. If only we all had your confidence.
Arthur, shut up and let Merlin have his emotional moment already. Though the cut-off probably worked quite well, given that he’s got to go with them in the end...
Ahaha Arthur. So contradictory. And another semi-declaration of love. From both of them! Aww. :D Big words indeed. Aww, Merlin and Arthur, how ily both.
I think Balinor knows about all the genetics here...
BOMBSHELL TIME... aaand it goes right over his head. But AWWWWWW MERLIN AWW my cuteness meter just broke AWWAWWAWW! I don’t think I’ve ever cried from sheer adorability before... “We’d be happy” indeed. AND THAT SMILE OH MY GOODNESS.
So Merlin could be a Dragon Lord too? But he already faced a dragon, and failed at it.
And for once, ‘sleep well, Father’ doesn’t sound cliché.
GET THE DRAGON THING, MERLIN!
NO NOT BALINOR! NOOOO! Save him already, Merlin!
Ohh... oh, that’s cruel. Scriptwriters, you should be ashamed of yourselves! Oh, Merlin... *hugs*
Oh, Arthur! *hugs*
Oh, EVERYONE. *HUGS THEM ALL*
So he got the dragon thing then... and that’s how it works!
And there I thought Arthur’d got it. But aww, Merlin + Arthur interaction! Punching your manservant hard in the chest before you go out to battle together is probably not the best course of action, but there we go.
He’s about to circle... there. And attack- now! (I know this show far too well.)
Merlin, you should have snuck out behind them so’s you could have done your magical stuff!
And there go most of the knights...
DRAGON WHISPER ALREADY, MERLIN!
How did Arthur not get scorched? Why is he not dedded yet? I mean, not that I’m complaining, but...
Oh, shut up voiceover!Balinor!
EEEE DRAGON LORD MERLIN IS AWESOME!!! XD XD XD
Arthur’s body looks somewhat odd lying there like that. Sort of starfish-y...
Your noble breed is about to die anyway, eejit. You’re a guy. Non-seahorse guys can’t have babies, and even they need help.
YAY MERLIN! *glomps*
And now Arthur wakes up. Right on time, too.
Merlin, you liar...
Wow, Arthur’s laugh went high there. Just one problem here- if only dragon whisperers can kill dragons, then won’t the ‘mortal blow’ be questioned at some point? And seeing as Merlin was the only other person there when the dragon went...
AWW GAIUS! AND MERLIN! AND SLOW-MO FOR THE... not win. But there we go...
Also, I made
this cake yesterday. It tastes quite nice, despite the best efforts of my total lack of cooking skills. Actually, I lie, it tastes pretty gorgeous, and I'm fairly sure it won't be around long. And there's still snow in our garden, despite the fact that it fell two days ago! This makes me very, very happy.
And... that's all for today. ^^
