Reaction to 4.10 Merlin

[jelazakazone]

I just watched 4.10.  I watched it alone this week due to scheduling difficulties.  I was happy to watch alone.  It's been a busy weekend with lots of socializing.

Summary: I liked this ep a lot.  Bradley just gets better and better.  Also, did Colin have a cold when they were filming this block?

"There better be a Christmas special the next day of 40 minutes worth of Arthur's reaction. That's all I want. One minute of Merlin going "No, really, I have magic - see?", forty minutes of facial expressions from Arthur, and then another minute of him finally accepting it. These are my demands."

Yes! Yes! (thanks princealia! ) I love the gif pic spams earlier upthread relating to this.

I agree with most comments in this post re the episode. I really enjoyed it.

I also agree with jelazakone's comments (below):

"I think Bradley was awesome last year, but I think they've just given him a lot more to work with. In fact, I think he's been good since the start, but the focus has been on Merlin and so it's not been until the very end of S3 and now S4 that Bradley has a chance to really shine. Angel is also very good.

I loved this ep. It was perfect for me. I am not a big shipper, so I don't care how many slashy moments we get. I am a fan of good stories and great acting and that's what we got in this ep".

Wasn't that pic!spam awesome? I love it when they do that. And yay for loving this ep. I will rewatch soon. I'm writing too much to rewatch as much as I like.

Rewatching it again (for about the 6th time) as we speak/type!

Despite being the middle of summer here, it's a cold, wet, miserable day, and I am absolutely stuffed from the "busyness" of late, so I've decided to vege in front of the TV and computer. A "Love Boat" TV rerun is on in the background and "Merlin" is playing in my laptop.

Wow. I have only watched it once. 4.06 has gotten a lot of love from me. I think I've watched 4 times so far, the most of any this season.

Good for you, taking a day off! Kids are off school now?
