Aaaaaw poor Merlin *gives him a hug*
Hopefully this week's season finale will be as good (or even better) than 'The Last Dragonlord'.

[rodneyscat]

It will be difficult to beat or even equal 'The last dragonlord', but I'll be happy if it comes anywhere near. Argh, just 4 more days!

This scene absolutely breaks my heart. He's trying so hard and then he just loses it, and his teary eyes and his fingers up at his face, oh!

[rodneyscat]

It's Colin's acting of course, but Merlin's struggle is also filmed and edited beautifully. He's keeping it together only barely and then when he looks sideways at Gaius and sees the shock on his face that's when he almost loses it.

It must have been an exhausting scene to film, also because you can see Merlin stand there all broken in the background the whole time. Colin had to keep that up for so long.

But he's so pretty when he cries! <--I have to keep that frame of mind otherwise he will make me cry!

[rodneyscat]

It's such a heartbreaking scene.

Oh Merl *hugs*

[rodneyscat]

He really looks like he needs someone to hold him to keep him from falling apart.

Oh, so many parts of that episode just broke my heart! These caps are taking me back. *tears up again*

They really show how much he's trying to hold it together.

Up until now I never managed to make caps of this scene (or the one where Balinor is shot and dies). Merlin's face... *heartclench*
