WAIT. I DIDN'T MENTION THE HILARITY THAT WAS ARTHUR'S ARSE BEING SLUNG OVER A HORSE. I was totally waiting for Arthur to come into screen with Merlin on his horse, Merlin holding him there, but no, just his ARSE in the bottom left of the screen, slung across a horse.
I did lol mightily.
(I use my giggling dragon icon with hesitance. He still scares me...)
Yes!! XD I was thinking the same thing, and the language he spoke was totally all slithery like parseltongue, so... Yeah, I think he's totally a Slytherin. XD
I hope Owain isn't dead too! @_@ I mean...if all those guys are really dead, who the hell is left? XD;;; Then again, Camelot does seem to have a suspiciously constant supply of knights, despite all these disasters. :P
And yeah, I totally wanted Arthur to overhear them talking. ;__; And before that I really, really wanted Merlin to tell him about what Gaius had said. I mean geez, Arthur was begging ;__; And you're right, they totally could have played it off with Arthur telling him "Well, it's clear you didn't get any of his magic dragonlord genes, Merlin" and that would be that! ^_
( ... )
Which is sad, cos Arthur's totally a Gryffindor. OH NOES, STARCROSSED LOVERS D:
Camelot must be shipping in knights from Gaul or something, because otherwise they'd have killed off the entire population at the rate they're going. It's amazing any of them live long enough to see the Round Table.
I think she said 'I thought I'd lost you'. Bleh. I lovelovelove Angel Coulby (and don't know who to be jealous of in the kissing scenes, her or Bradley :/) but they have made Gwen a bit of a 'I'll wait for you, Arhur *swoon*' girl. I preferred it when she and Morgana were kicking ass in Ealdor. Oh, for the good old days...
I actually choked when I realised that was Arthur's arse coming into view. And then giggled so much Dad had to turn the volume up XD Maybe it's just this unhealthy fixation I have on Bradley's butt, who knows? XD;;;;;;;;;
I do wonder sometimes if the writers are gonna pull a fanfic plot device on us at some point and have it where Arthur knows. I mean, the way he was pestering Merlin this ep? It was like 'Come oooooon,
( ... )
Awww, you don't like Gwen? ;___; I love Gwen. <333
Anyway, in other news: LKJWE:KLJWE LFJKLejf lwkjef lkawjfl kjwae jf this episode was AMAZING. Loved it so, so much, and I'm so glad that despite having some not-so-quality filler episodes this season, it ended with such a strong two-parter. Characters showed growth! The story progressed! There were emotional ups and downs that felt real and fit the situation and the characters! Arthur was NOT an ass to Merlin! HUZZAH!
So yes. Very pleased overall, and I can't wait for the next season. *__*♥
PS: Whoops, screwed the comment up the first time. XD;; Sorry. XD;;
Oh, I like Gwen just fine. Just not with Arthur. >_> So I suppose the phrase 'minimal Gwen' was a little unfair, since really I meant 'minimal Arthur/Gwen'? ^_~
And YES, I agree with everything you said. :D I really feel like the entire last half of this season is just worlds apart from where it started, you know, with everyone weird and out of character and just...weird. :P And having all the good episodes towards the end like this makes me really hopeful that season three will be more of the same? Or at the very least that the writers do value some of the things that make the show really great...like the characters. And the plot. :D Because I was really worried about that for a few episodes there. ^_~
SQUEEEE! I just finished watching the finale and ZOMG! Talk about sooo many unspoken feelings that you had to read off of their faces. All of Merlin's looks (especially those to Arthur) were priceless (I sooo wanted him to tell Arthur about his father...you could tell how much he wanted to. Plus, I can't help but think that as of now, Merlin has so many secrets that he's kept from Arthur but that you can tell he wants to tell him at one point: 1) the magic he has 2) the truth about arthur's birth 3) the fact he set the dragon free and responsible for the near destruction of Camelot 4) the fact that Ballenor was his father
( ... )
Guh, yes, those looks. *__* And you know, that's a really good point about Merlin and his secrets... Because it's almost like, if he were to tell Arthur about Bellinor being his father, it's almost like that would be painful in it's own way, because unless he's going to tell Arthur everything it's like...Arthur won't really understand? So I can understand him not wanting to say anything, in a way
( ... )
I totally forgot what day it was (MERLIN DAY) until I saw this post!! Now that I've seen the episode I returned to actually read it :D
And GUH. It really was an awesome episode ♥ But...I dunno, I'm just getting so frustrated with Merlin not telling Arthur anything!! I so, so wanted him to say something this episode, about his father, about having magic...or at least for Arthur to find out somehow. Gaaah. As much as I loved the episode, after it was over the fact that even after two seasons Arthur knows next to nothing about Merlin just left me kind of unsatisfied :(
BUT GAH THE BOYS. Bradley, seriously, has no one told you you're not actually supposed to look at Colin like you're in love with him? If someone were watching this show with no dialogue (and didn't see any of the kissing scenes), just going by facial expressions you're left with basically that assumption. They'd probably think Gwen is, like, Arthur's cousin or something.
Anyway. Do not want to wait a year for the next season :(((
*nods* Yeah, I know what you mean. ;__; This would have been the perfect way for him to find out too, since Uther has kind of already admitted that he's willing to use the help of a dragonlord, you know? So if Arthur had witnessed Merlin using those powers, I'd think it would be that much harder for things to end badly, you know? Arthur would have seen him saving his life, etc. *sigh* I guess I can only hope they have something really amazing planned for when Arthur does finally find out? And this gives the fandom a whole year more to play around with ideas via fic, at least? ^_~
They'd probably think Gwen is, like, Arthur's cousin or something. LMAO XDDD I know what you mean though. Bradley did have quite a few smoldering looks in this episode. ^_~
