the thing is we are not getting enough merlin for the show to be called merlin. i mean, really, we are getting the pendragon family drama, oh yeah, and some other people in camelot too. we should be getting more merlin and arthur! because, uh, isn't that, like, the entire point of the show?
i feel that arthur is aware of it on an unconscious level, but until he has the facts shoved in his face he's not going to admit it, even to merlin. although at that point he's just going to be all, "what do you think i am, an idiot? THAT WOULD BE YOU."
though in some ways, i want the reveal to come when there's some, you know, supernatural horror stalking camelot and gaius and merlin are having whispered conversations and arthur walks in and is all, "so, merlin, how are you going to save us this time?" and merlin almost has a heart attack. or something like that. where arthur just throws it out casually and raises his eyebrows.
*pimps supernatural* pretty boys? plot? subtext like whoa? daddy issues? JENSEN ACKLES? also jared padalecki (mental casting for tirian's cousin vespasian! who is hitting on peter, or was) and jeffery dean morgan!
or we could just go back to immortal!susan and morgana. huh.
"raisings?" morgana says, raising her eyebrows. "why do you want know about those? planning on bringing someone back from the dead?"
"no," susan says. "but i know someone who has been. brought back, i mean. i just want to know if there are any...ill effects."
"like?" morgana asks, eating a spoonful of ice cream. she leans back on the couch and curls her legs up, puts her feet against susan's thighs.
susan glances at her, then down at her hands. "memory loss," she says. "is that -- should that be --"
"you know i've never actually brought someone back from the dead," morgana says. she's thought about it, gone so far as to gather the ingredients for the spell -- but she's never actually gone through with it. "it's very easy to get wrong."
"they didn't get it wrong," susan snaps, too quickly.
"are you sure?" morgana asks, offering the ice cream back.
susan pushes it away with the back of one hand. "i know him," she says. "it is him. it is. he just -- doesn't remember. what happened after he died, i mean."
"you know," morgana says, "if whoever it is actually got it right, it might be a first. i've never seen it done right. and maybe we're not meant to remember what happens after we die."
"do you really think so?" susan asks, and she sounds a little desperate.
"i don't know," morgana says, with a pang. "i really don't know. who did they bring back."
susan doesn't meet her eyes. "peter," she says quietly.
