Merlin - 2x05 - Beauty and the Beast. Greatest episode, or greatestest episode?
HO MY GOD. That was 40 minutes of pure hilarity. Sucky episode ship-wise, ABSOFREAKINGLUTELY BRILLIANT entertainment-wise. I am almost willing to forsake my Uther/Morgana love if it means that Sarah Parish could be on this show forever. Almost.
Uther's lady love to be! Isn't she a beaut?
Okay, yeah, she really is.
Even Merlin wants a piece of that. Of course, this is nothing new. Arthur, Morgana, Nimueh... and now a troll. Actually, just switch out Arthur with Igraine and his taste is almost exactly like Uther's.
Bling is on full display, baby! And Morgana doesn't even feel the need to stand up for Lady Catrina. Nope. No sir. Because she's Morgana, the motherflippin' king's wife ward! Sorry, that's about as shippy as this episode got. *sigh*
Concerned!Uther is so, so dreamy, you guys. SO dreamy.
Clearly this dude shouts "most trusted servant." Nothing to be suspicious of there, no sir.
Hilariously unnecessary fainting! Obviously her constitution is too weak to handle the utter sexiness that is Uther.
Oh, she so wants to get into his pants. Which is made obvious by her asking for a bed for the night and wiggling her eyebrows at him. Okay, maybe the eyebrow thing didn't happen, but she was still pretty obvious.
It's really a no-brainer for our dear fellow.
That's pretty much the way I look at Anthony Head ALL THE TIME.
Oooooh, I am in love. So, so in love. She made me laugh like crazy every time she reverted back to her troll personality. She was brilliant.
I was wrong! More shippiness. Morgana is totally checking out Uther here. She is. Really.
Let's just pretend that Uther is flirting with Morgana outrageously, yes?
Ahahaha, I love how Arthur will always think that he's this epic Lothario with women and that everyone else is DOING IT WRONG. In this case, he's kind of right. But it's okay, because Troll Lady wants into Uther's pants more than he wants into hers.
Okay, that look that Uther's giving her there? More sultry than any look he threw Catrina's way. I'm just saying. And Morgana is looking at him all teasingly, and while it breaks my heart that she totally encouraged Uther to get it on with another woman, I love that smile so freaking much.
If she was an actual love interest for Uther and not a hilariously awesome troll, I would be so jealous right now. In fact, I'm still kind of jealous, because she gets to touch his lovely gloves and be on the receiving end of his googly eyes. *dreamy sigh*
ASDJAKHDFGLKJHJKASHDG!!!! SHE KISSED THE GLOVE. Why oh why has this not been in an Uther/Morgana fic yet?
Look familiar?
Mmhmm. Sorry, I am an Uther/Morgana shipper to the death. TO THE DEATH.
"Uther's so stupid." Bwahahahahaha. HAVE I MENTIONED THAT I'M IN LOVE?
Pervy Merlin FTW! OMG, his face. Oh, I love him.
"A ride before breakfast... always gives me a healthy appetite. Heh heh heh." OH GOD, PERVY UTHER. I LOVE HIM.
LOOK! He's so excited! I am just going to assume that he got wooing tips from Morgana and Morgana made sure to give him really good ones because she doesn't want him to know that she is INSANELY JEALOUS and she thinks that giving him such awesome advice means that she isn't jealous, but then she feels all empty and depressed after he goes skipping away in a state of giddiness. THIS HAPPENED.
Ooooooh, pretty! Pretty pretty! Seriously, if Morgana didn't exist, I would be shipping Uther/Troll like it was my job.
IGRAINE ANGST! Oh, I love that his heart still belongs to her. I have a soft spot for dudes who can't get over their dead wife and blame themselves for their wife's death. I just do. I'm 60% sure that's why I fell in love with Uther in the first place.
More pervy innuendo! Honestly, this show gets away with quite a lot of that.
Of course, Catrina is secretly throwing up in her mouth at the thought of doing Uther, which is just... craziness.
"Psh, look at them!" Ahahahaha. Oh, Arthur. We all know that you are watching your father intensely to learn how to get yourself some action from Gwen. Also, I so love Arthur's very obvious pride in his father when he says the line about Uther being a very wealthy and powerful man. He loves his daddy. A lot.
Have I told you lately how much I love that jacket? I don't think I have.
As much as I wanted Morgana to be the jealous wife, I'm kind of ridiculously delirious that it ended up being Gaius, because they are just so hilarious in this scene together. The way that Uther is all "Sigh sigh, you're such a drag, Gaius," and Gaius is all superior in his confidence that Catrina is a gold-digging hussy, and Uther doesn't want to hear it, but he turns around anyway:
See? Gaius is even cocky about it.
And of course Uther is all "Arrrrrgh, you don't know what you're talking about. Incurable disease. What do you know? You're only a doctor. Now show my lady friend some respect, damn it!" And then Gaius just rolls his eyes and wonders why he even bothers. It's interesting that Gaius is the ONLY one who cares enough to notice that something's not right about Catrina. Everyone else is cheering Uther's boner on. *sigh* Uther so doesn't deserve Gaius.
UTHER LOOKS GOOD IN FRONT OF A FIREPLACE, HOT DAMN. And that neck. I don't know why, but I have such a thing for his neck (especially in his Giles days, guh).
PRETTY IN FIRELIGHT. Also, he knows he's gonna get lucky tonight.
Uh oh, getting nervous.
And SHAFTED.
Embarrassed grumblings, because he is still in love with his dead wife. So much so that he hasn't slept with anyone for TWENTY YEARS. Except Morgana, of course.
And then he's just like, "Heeeeeey, hang in there, buddy." *shoulder punch* "I'll be ready some day." Smooth. I love it.
There's nothing wrong with being fun and popular and giving the people what they want.
GUH.
"Oh come on, out with it man."
"She's a troll, Sire."
"Ha! How absurd. How many times do I have to tell you, Gaius? Magical creatures do not exist in Camelot. Certainly none that want to kill me. Psh. Moron."
"But sire, let me explain all the glaring logic in my reasoning."
"ENOUGH! How dare you use logic with me! Be careful, Physician, or I will have your head."
*sigh*
Enchanted bling! OF COURSE!
Ahahaha, Uther is FINALLY getting a clue that Catrina is psycho.
Oh oh oooooooh, the second she put that necklace on him and he got that glazed over expression and his voice went up a couple octaves I just started giggling like a madman. The man is brilliant. BRILLIANT.
I was both laughing like crazy and horrifiedly screaming "NOOOOOOOOOO!" at my computer screen during the kiss. Oh god. Uther is going to be so mortified when the spell breaks.
Apparently Uther being in love means that he stands in the sunlight smiling for hours.
And he is still somehow ominous even with that goofy grin and the uber polite voice. OMG, I LOVE HIM. SO MUCH.
Bwahahahahaha, oh man. ♥
*dreamy sigh*
What up, Uther/Morgana? I TOLD YOU SHE WAS REPRESSING SOME INSANE JEALOUSY. Also, apparently love makes Uther slightly gay:
"Lady Catrina and I are getting married!" *flaily hands*
"Eesh."
"Tomorrow! Hehehehehehehehehehehe!"
BWUH?
"Hehehehehehehe! Good day to you, and to you, and even you!" *queenly wave as he skips away with Lady Catrina*
Come on, you know this is what you thought of.
*sigh*
Since Uther is busy being a campy, besotted old fool, Merlin had to bring the badass this week.
Clearly it was necessary to push that dude down to the ground. Clearly. Because obviously he wouldn't, you know, move. Oh god, that bit cracked me up so hard. He's just like, "Huh? Aaaaah! How rude."
Don't do it, Uther. DON'T DO IT. Don't--
Gyaaaaah! I told you not to, damn it!
Oh, this episode was ridiculous. I loved it. So very much. I demand there be this much Uther ALL THE TIME. I know I'm in the minority on that, but, whatever. This show is called Uther, right?
