I love how he veers from being a cruel idiot to being super heroic and passionate. - GUH, yes, I absolutely love this too. <333 He ends up having so much depth and so many layers by the end of the first season, it just really, really REALLY makes me want to explore so many aspects of his character that you just get to see glimpses of. *__
( ... )
Oh mannnn! He was such an ass in the final episode, and I feel like it could have had so much explosive potential, particularly if one of those two people important to Merlin had died. It would have added yet another layer to that final, inevitable explosion that there'll be when Arthur finds out about his magic... 'I've suffered the death of *** for you, and offered my life for you, and you don't return the same care!"
...of course, Arthur does return the same care, only he can't express it and I hope they give us a scenario where he cracks and everything he protects himself against expressing comes out. *___* ... it probably won't happen. But like you say, if it did we wouldn't have fic that tackled it. ;)
For a second I thought they'd just used the same lake with mountains superimposed to make it look like a different location?! Either way.... a bit of a fail. 8D
But yes! Arthur really, really needs to just really crack one day. XD I know I would LOVE to see it. *__* Even the few times here and there that we see him sort of slip a little, it's so powerful, and just... GUH. I want more~ *__* ...So I guess I'll just have to read more fic for the time being. :D
I'm really, REALLY curious as to how they're going to handle what happens in that last episode though. Just since... It really doesn't seem like it's going to work for Merlin not to have to make any kind of real sacrifice, you know? And I really wonder if they're just going to gloss over that, or if season 2 will start on a sort of ominous note because of it? *__*
Anyway, yeah, if that was supposed to be somewhere other than that lake we saw before... they really failed at making that convincing. :P
