OMG NEW MERLIN! So worth the wait :D
More random gibberish under the cut :P Enjoy!
New Merlin! Eep! OMG, beyond excited, actually outside the realm of excitement, not even close to... it's starting!!!
Oh LOVE!
Castle, dungeon, fire...
Slaves? Servants.
Oh noes, secret cavern-type place! With added treasure... and a convenient tomb.
Arthur calling for Merlin from his bed = win =)
"You're working under mine." Less than 2 minutes in and the slash has commenced.
Evil is afoot in the secret cavern. Literally.
Dead guy count = 1.
Opening credits! I love them. I've missed them :(
The boys seem even prettier this year. Not just me, surely?
Gaius's limitless knowledge seems worryingly lacking atm...
"Are you born clumsy or do you work at it?"
"It's just one of my many gifts."
Well done, guys, never change a winning formula. Banter - you are back!
Yes, Uther - treasure and a giant raven thing!
Blue glowy thing is glowy. And blue.
Hello, Mackenzie :)
"You must think I'm stupid..." Oh, no, not at all :P
Arthur! You do NOT use Merlin as a step!
Jealous!Merlin is jealous.
*giggles* Merlin, ILU. "Oh, sorry." ♥
Gaius: nosy and sneaky since... well, series 1.
Cedric: 3, Merlin: 1
That is SOME boar.
Yays for Merlin! Cedric: 3, Merlin: 2
Lying shit. Arthur's still as gullible as ever then.
Cedric: 5, Merlin: 2
"Just the usual." Oh! *hugs*
Why is Gaius surprised Merlin hasn't heard of Sigan?
*gasp as the MUOTW is explained* He wanted to defeat death itself? Really? That doesn't sound like... oh, wait, EVERYONE.
Enter Gaius's warning, Uther's disbelief and Morgana's nightmare.
A nice femmeslash moment for the Gwen/Morgana shippers :)
Cedric: 7, Merlin: 2
"It's happening again!" Are we to assume Morgana's dreams stopped between series??
Oh, gross. Cedric!
"Oh, I don't know - the horses?"
"Shut up, Merlin."
"If you weren't such a clotpole..." Um, Merlin, what?
Colin is much fitter this series. How is that possible? Especially considering the ridiculous level of gorgeousness he’d attained last year.
"I just want Arthur to trust me, and to see me for who I really am." "Everything I do is for him." I LOVED this scene.
Blue glowy thing is a SOUL. Nice!
Shirtless!Bradley is becoming a common occurrence. I approve :)
Naughty Cedric!
Ominous whispering...
Is he orgasming over that treasure?
Well, I'm sure there was one viewer that didn't see that coming :P
Merlin knows EVERYTHING about Arthur's habits :D
Oh, Arthur. Now is NOT the time to be funny.
I know some won't have, but I liked the fight. Very typical-boyshape scuffling there.
Ooh, gargoyles coming to life? Nice!
That's right, old man, run. Hehe, bye, Gwen!
I'm sorry, you don't know what they are? Haven't you noticed all the missing statues??
Brave words, Uther, but I notice Arthur's expected to do all the work... again.
Oops, fire :(
Oh, I do like Morgana :)
Ouch, Gargoyle punch!
Lol, Arthur hasn't changed - "My pleasure." *grins*
Wait, thanking a servant? Maybe he has.
Aw, he IS good :) Risking his life to save trapped drawbridge folk =D
Oh, enter the dragon. I did wonder when he'd be reintroduced.
What would go on the death certificate? Cause of death: attacked by stone gargoyle.
Oh, hello, dragon. Smug as ever, I see. Still cryptic, too.
"You will need a spell more powerful than any you know." Really? I'd never have guessed.
Dragon breath. Lovely.
Oh, Colin's ACTING! I do love him ♥
Why doesn't that guy have a cloak? He's not a prince!
Aw, bless. Uther does love his son :)
Yes, he bloody well is!
Shut up, Cedric, leave their love alone.
Arthur can help him.
Do you really think Merlin wants Arthur scared of him? You fool.
You what?
Oh noes!
Ooh, Colin as fake!evil!Merlin is sexier than ever!
Yeah, Uther - learn your lesson!
So everything until now has been "complacent"? Uther!
Arthur - you dropped that on his food!
I LOVE THEM.
Eep - jousting next week! Series 2 looks fecking awesome :D
Lancelot? No. What?
Oh, wow!
Mordred!
LOVE THEM!
Great first episode, brought all the characters back into play (fairly) seamlessly, with enough drama and hinted future!plot to keep both casual viewers and diehard fans interested throughout XD
