ARTHUR OH MY ARTHUR
Merlin, episode 6.
Re: Edwin. Dude, that face putty is fooling no one-- Edwin is actually rather pretty and this much is clear. Was anyone else having Edwin/Merlin thoughts? I was kind of disappointed when he got axed, 'cos he was sort of interesting, but maybe it was for the best because his awkward flailing angryhands would've poked someone's eye out eventually.
And did Gaius like, teleport from the woods to Camelot? 'Cos one moment, emo by the fire, the next, trying to pwn Edwin in the castle.
The background music is still a character unto itself, especially when Merlin's saving Uther. I dunno, it is both *facepalm* and XD at the same time RATHER LIKE THIS WHOLE SHOW.
OH MY ARTHUR. Reduced to nothing but a background prop (albeit a pretty one) and a butler. Arthur, go fetch Gaius. Arthur, go fetch Edwin. Arthur, explain to Merlin why Gaius is being sacked. ARTHUR GO FETCH. omg. Where is the self-centered but slowly learning Arthur-king of my heart?! Why is he not making outrageously arrogant statements, heckling everyone (BY EVERYONE I MEAN MERLIN), and making the 'shock & horror' faces I have come to know and love??
Basically everyone in this episode was supremely stupid. Let's leave Morgana alone in her bedroom with this shifty man. Let's not kill Uther immediately. GAIUS. THOSE FLAMES REALLY WEREN'T THAT HIGH. Et cetera. Nope, no evil overlords here!
SPEAKING OF SUPREME STUPIDITY. THERE IS WOEFUL LACK OF ARTHUR/MERLIN IN THIS EPISODE. BBC, why do you think we are watching this show, it is not for the CGI or the riveting plotlines or the breathtaking action scenes, no. I mean, except for that scene that Bedlam calls the "law of the conservation of motion" scene, there was barely any Arthur/Merlin interaction at all. DOING IT WRONG.
Complaining to the boy about it, he replied, "Well, the less gay it is in reality, the more rewarding it'll be when you make it gay." And I DIED, 'cos I mean, Arthur and Merlin aside, yeah, pretty much. OH, MY BOY. He doesn't quite understand fandom and isn't sure he wants to, but he takes my ramblings in a stride and doesn't hang up when I say things like, "Well, it's about the kings of Narnia, -- that's the High King Peter and his royal brother Edmund -- coming to Camelot to negotiate an alliance with Uther Pendragon... then Peter and Arthur have sex."
Next week promises us Morgana being prophetic and some chick hitting on Arthur, so probz Merlin is gonna be like GET AWAY FROM MY MAN, YOU MOISTENED BINT. Teams up with Morgana to rescue Arthur's damsel ass, and then there is threeway. YES, THIS IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN, I can feeeeeel it.
