I was going to make a proper post, but it's 3am and I'm still not asleep and such_heights's Merlin vidlet Backseat just made me fall apart and cry. It's stunning. Go watch it. ♥

Ahhh, I have yet to finish S2, let alone start on S3! *shakes fists* ;D But I may have to, or I will just watch the vid anyway (as per my standard rule for Amy vids, hee!).

&hearts &hearts! :*

[wanderlight]

That is a very excellent rule! You may want to ask her first if it has any spoilers -- I can't properly tell you since I haven't watched the second episode, but there might be a tiny tiny one if you're squinting, I think?

Ooh, where are you re. S2? Thoughts? :)

♥!!!

I think I only watched to 2x10? Or maybe 2x11, hahaha, it was a long time ago. ;) I think my enthusiasm started waning after the troll eps (because SRSLY?!), although Freya was cute (until, y'know, she up and DIED D:). I think I got distracted by... some new fandom, or possibly just a combination of on- and offline fails (probabilities are approximately equal), and then I heard Things about Morgana that made me WIBBLY-SADFACE and couldn't bring myself to continue. Although I might, now that we have (apparently?) Shiny New Series!

... annnnnd wow, my parentheticals are running away from me aren't they.

PEE ESS: the post I meant to send you a few weeks back, it has not been sent yet! I FAIL. But I should be able to manage a post-office run tomorrow, or possibly Monday.

Oh god, the TROLL eps, I don't even know what to say about those. I admit I didn't even watch them properly, I fast-forwarded through bits. I liked the Freya episode -- I ship Merlin/Arthur for sure, but I thought he and Freya were adorable together. And yeah, Things happen to Morgana, and it's really kind of a mess. The way her storyline's shaping up for this season is something I don't really like the look of either. I'm tempted to just wait half a season and then poke people and ask them if things improve & it's safe for me to go back, but. *hands*

That is all right! I always feel so undeserving of your postcards, because you are so generous. You = ♥!!!

That's kind of what I'm thinking. Ep 1 made me really sad, and then ep 2 made me REALLY ANGRY. Merlin, LOOK: IF YOU HAD TOLD MORGANA ABOUT YOUR MAGIC A LONG TIME AGO, PROBABLY NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. POSSIBLY YOU COULD EVEN FIX A FEW THINGS IF YOU TOLD HER NOW. YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU HAD A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY.

So...yeah.

[wanderlight]

OH NO. D:
It's sitting on my hard drive right now ... should I even watch it?

[lady_moriel]

Maybe? I don't know, I think I'm probably going to wait to see anymore until I hear how the rest of the season goes and possibly start a Merlin AU community or exchange or something because...SO MUCH STUPID, IT BURNS. There's just...some stuff in ep 2 that hammers home the stupid of ep 1 even harder, if you can believe that, like this charming exchange. But there's also more Gwen and a cute little Arthur/Gwen scene, so...I guess that's good?

[wanderlight]

That exchange sounds just lovely, ugh. It's like the writers decided to try and pose this grand moral question -- What makes someone good? What makes someone evil? -- and the answer they seem to be giving is, PRIVILEGE! *shakes head*
