Just me rambling really.

I really enjoyed reading your meta, even though I don't watch the show. :-))

[hugs]

I call them ramblings rather than meta, but I'm glad you enjoyed them.

Many hugs back :)

I never usually notice things like that but the image struck me as being like Uther.

Using my Uther icon because I don't suppose I'll get many more chances.

Wow, I just agree with all of this. What an articulate and accurate assessment with all of the things I've been feeling about this show.

I love how you said what a far way Arthur was from his Round Table right now but slowly moving his way back to it.

And being confronted with a bare footed flower wielding Arthur, I'm not sure I would've been any stronger than fair Gwen.

Thanks for sharing this with us!!!

[kathyh]

My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it.

I'm not sure I would've been any stronger than fair Gwen.

I don't think any of us would have been. I was nearly nose to nose with my computer screen and the temptation to lick the image was quite strong *g*.

Lovely thinky-thoughts; I always enjoy your meta posts.

I loved how Bradley played that last scene with Gwen - the flowers and honesty and sexy, teasing little side-glances that he usually saves for Merlin were truly irresistible, and a long way from the bumbling, puppydog Arthur of S2.

Is it just me, or is he nearly always wearing a white shirt when he has love scenes with Gwen?

[kathyh]

Yes, I think he is. I don't know whether that's supposed to signify anything other than the fact he looks entirely edible in one *g*.

a long way from the bumbling, puppydog Arthur of S2.

Yes, and I'm really getting an impression of a couple who know each other a lot better now.

Thanks for calling it meta. I call it rambling myself :)

I thoroughly agree with everything you've said here. This season of Merlin has been going from strength to strength and I was so happy to see Arthur making mistakes and realizing them. Plus distancing himself from Merlin, Gwen and his knights was both heartbreaking and expected. I thought both Bradley and Colin were really exceptional this whole season but they've only gotten better over this last couple of episodes.

Loved Annis here. What a great warrior queen.

[kathyh]

She was really great. Lindsay Duncan would make a fantastic Boudicca with that look.

I was so happy to see Arthur making mistakes and realizing them.

I was so convinced, and I think we all were, that the series would end with Arthur becoming king, but seeing him as a young king making mistakes is actually a much better story.

Bradley and Colin were really exceptional this whole season but they've only gotten better over this last couple of episodes.

They've both been amazing. I'm so pleased to see Bradley being able to really show what he can do as an actor.

Welcome back! Can't wait to hear about Bermuda :)

I'm working on getting the Bermuda pictures up on flickr. Probably sometime tomorrow.
