Merlin 107: The Gates of Avalon
Omg, squeaky noises of glee! This episode was so much fun. I laughed like an inebriated hyaena.
It was a beautiful day in the kingdom of Albion. The sun shone warmly and the birds were singing. But wait, who's that stomping through the forest like a buffoon on a rampage? Oh, of course: Merlin, stumbling after his master and dragging bunny carcasses around the place. You have to wonder why the prince is still taking his clumsy manservant everywhere. Doesn't Camelot have decent service personal?
Oh, what is that? A scream is piercing the serenity of the forest. A distressed damsel is in distress. Arthur to the rescue! And Merlin.
I must say, Arthur is looking mighty handling his sword. Mighty, mighty fine. So Arthur (and Merlin) saves the day. And look, the damsel is pretty and golden and looking vaguely underage. Those wacky medieval folk. Well, Arthur doesn't care. So who am I to judge?
Goldilocks and her daddy get invited to Camelot. It's only polite, you see. Nothing to do with Arthur having the hots for her, nothing at all. Eyes front and center, buddy! You're drooling.
I must say, Merlin is one impertinent servant. Who does he think he is discussing the love life of his master? The cheek! Arthur should really do something about his servant's attitute. It is disgraceful.
Morgana sees Goldilocks. Oh, ominous music and slow motion. Is that bad? Wait, what? Goldilocks is evil? But she is so pretty and golden and underage. Well, Morgana dreamed bad things will happen. If Morgana says so, than I guess Goldilocks is indeed evil. Poor Arthur. Someone should tell him.
O hai Goldilock's daddy sneaking up on a man in the woods. Wait, isn't that one of the dudes who attacked you? Oh, glowy red eyes. Glowy red eyes are bad news. I know, I saw it on TV once.
Meanwhile back in Camelot, Morgana has one terrible night. No good night's sleep for poor prophetic seers. OMG don't tell Uther. He will eat your face.
Someone needs to teach Arthur how to deal with servants. You are the prince, dear, no need to justify your decisions. Just tell the servant boy what to do. No wonder Merlin has an attitute problem.
At least Uther knows how to deal with impertinent servants. To the stocks with him!
Oh noes, Arthur is alone with Goldilocks in the forest. Did no one tell him she is evil? Don't they care about their prince at all? See! She starts speaking in tongues and gazing into his eyes. Not good. Arthur, get away from her! Wait, surprise arrow attack! Arthur to the rescue!
Morgana, a hint: Goldilocks was standing right at the top of a steep staircase. A teeny tiny push... I'm just saying. Also, don't try to reason Arthur out of his crush. He will only think you are jealous. Which you are not. Never. No way no how.
Oh Arthur, you stupid besotted fool. See, now you have glowy red eyes, too.
Doom doom, the ominous music is back. Goldilock's daddy is taking a midnight stroll in the forest again. But ha!, Merlin is hot on his heels. Wait, what is that? Merlin's powers suddenly go zing and he can see Goldi's daddy talking to glowy fairy lights with tentacles on their heads. Daddy's laugh is an evil laugh. OMG he wants to feed Arthur to the glowworms. This is bad. I do not blame Merlin, I would be scared to.
Oh facepalm. Someone beat Arthur about the head for he has lost his mind. Marriage? Surely you must be joking. Thank you, Uther, at least someone around here has any sense.
Oh snap! I take it back. Uther you moron, listen to Morgana. You trust her, you listen to her. I know trying to reason with you based on instincts and feelings (and all that female gobbledygook ) is a waste of time, but... She is almost the queen to your king. Not literally, of course. You do know that she is not your queen and more like a daughter, right? Considering her your queen would be bad. Bad and wrong and... Did I mention bad?
Was I wrong about Merlin? Well, maybe slightly mistaken. I must say he is loyal. He is risking rotten tomatoes and death my glowy magic stick to save his master. But Arthur is right: he is merely a servant, not a friend. I do not feel bad seeing Merlin's tiny sad face at that. I do not! Arthur, stop it with the glowy red eyes. You look creepy and strangely hot and creepy.
Wake up, Merlin. Goldilocks and evil daddy took Arthur to the lake. Oh oh, ominous music and slo-mo. Run, Merlin, run!
Arthur, you dumb fuck. Don't fall asleep standing up. You will drown and the glowworms with eat you!
Yay! Merlin to the rescue. Evil daddy goes kaboom. Goldilocks goes kaboom. Everything goes kabo--
Arthur? It's okay to resurface now. Really. Merlin saved the day. Come on up. Arthur? *meep*
Yay! Merlin has him! And drags him out of the water and resucitates him (for a while, eventhough Arthus is breathing already) and gets rid of his wet clothes and snuggles him a lot so Arthur gets warmed up and... What? That is totally appropriate behaviour for a servant.
Oh Arthur, no wonder your servant does not respect you. You are a dumbface. Thank god, you are cute.
Uther, I love you. Keep up the good work.
Merlin, stop playing with the food.
In conclusion: whee!
