TV thoughts
Yesterday was a Pixar day. Man I love me some Ratatouille. If only for Collette's Frech accent. SO GORGEOUS.
ANYWAYYS...
Merlin Finale
MORGAANNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. How much did I love her sitting on that throne as Arthur and co burst in? A LOT.
That Morgana Arthur scene very nearly broke, I was torn between shouting MAKEOUT ALREADY at the screen and trying to figure out where it all went wrong. D: As twoskeletons says in her own reaction post, Morgana needs her own 6.20 - 'The Girl Who Would be Queen', there needs to be that Morgana centric episode, not just her striding about looking BAMF (though that as well) but more of what we got in the final few minutes of the finale, just Morgana and her reasons, her vulnerabilities.
The best thing about this episode was we finally finally got to see Morgana falter and her big wall of BAMFness come down, her face in that corridor as she faced Gwen. ;___; And her fear of Emrys. And her scene with Arthur. THAT SCENE. Oh Morgana.
Other things I quite enjoyed: The scene where Arthur crowns Gwen. LONG LIVE THE QUEEN. I especially adored Merlin's face at that point. The Merlin/Gwen friendship is something I bitterly botterly miss from series 1.
The Arthur/Merlin bromance. SO ADORABLE.
Tristan/Isolde. Unfortunately for me I can't hear those names without cringing because of that 2006 film one of my friends made me wtahc endlessly, nevertheless they did make spectacular guest stars.
Downton Abbey Christmas Special
Oh Matthew. You fickle fickle man. Oh how I wish he would have stayed in the wheelchair, it would've made so much more sense, and so much better drama.
Not seeing Sybil and Branson was a disappointment but a BABY, I'm not ashamed to say that makes me very squeeful.
And Maggie Smith continues to be my favourite person ever.
Dr. Who
Matt Smith may have won me over. Just maybe.
The show I am most looking forward to this Christmas is still to come:
GILLIAN ANDERSON. MISS HAVISHAM. HELL YES.
