Merlin was pretty damn awesome.
So, I didn't enjoy this ep as much as the last few, mostly because there was absolutely NOTHING that I could twist into being Uther/Morgana subtext, but the Merlin/Arthur was simply amazing. Last week was fluff and angst, this week was bickering and hotness and finding out just how much Arthur truly loves Merlin (as if we didn't know already). THE GOBLET SCENE WAS FREAKING AMAZING! SO MUCH LOVE! SO MUCH! Also, I was definitely shipping Uther/Gaius this week. I don't normally, but they were totally married in this episode. And Uther's pride over Arthur killing a unicorn made me melt. But then Uther turned into a dick again and he lost his good daddy points. *sigh* BUT HE'S AN INCREDIBLY GORGEOUS DICK, SO IT'S PERFECTLY OKAY!
He is SO giddy. It's like the damn thing is shining up at him.

Oooooooooh...
Very impressive, Sire. *coughmineisbiggercough*
Heh heh heh.
Wait... what?
Arthur defies Daddy. Daddy is not happy.
Urgh, HOW DARE YOU JUDGE ME FOR MAKING THE KINGDOM STARVE BECAUSE I'M TOO MUCH OF AN ASS TO SWALLOW MY PRIDE AND ASK FOR HELP FROM NEIGHBORING KINGDOMS? ARGH!
YOU ARE A VERY BAD BOY! GO TO YOUR ROOM! NOW! WITHOUT SUPPER! AND TRY TO LEARN WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A GOOD KING INSTEAD OF A PUSSY, YOU HEAR ME, SON? DO YOU?! Arghmumbleblahiwanttodomorgana.
God, I look gorgeous in this ensemble.
Really gorgeous.
So, in addition to Uther being gorgeous, there was also this crazy disappearing guy that cracked me up like crazy. During his convo with Merlin in the woods, he kept disappearing and reappearing for absolutely NO REASON whatsoever, and there was super dramatic music to go along with it. I missed the dialog there because I was laughing so hard. I watched it again, and laughed even harder, so... there's no hope of me ever taking that scene seriously. Also, Arthur was giving the love eyes to Merlin like crazy tonight. Particularly here:
He's being all forceful, telling Merlin to stay behind and not worry about him, and he's trying SO HARD to be stern, but then he does this:
His eyes soften for this brief moment and he's willing Merlin to know that he loves him but he can't say it, and OH MY GOD! HE SO WANTED MERLIN TO BE BY HIS SIDE! And Merlin defied his orders because HE CANNOT RISK ARTHUR GETTING HURT IN ANY WAY! HE HAD TO MAKE SURE HE WAS THERE TO PROTECT HIM! And I love that for the test, Merlin was both Arthur's weakness and his savior. Arthur couldn't complete the task without Merlin there to complete him. It was so damn beautiful, and Arthur absolutely refused to let Merlin die for him. HE COULDN'T FATHOM A WORLD WITHOUT MERLIN! IT WOULD BE A FATE MUCH WORSE THAN DEATH! HOLY CRAP! HOLY HOLY CRAP! I FREAKING LOVE THIS SHOW!
Also, there was force feeding. And it was amazing. I loved dominatrix Arthur so very much. My god, that was way hotter than it should have been.
He is SO giddy. It's like the damn thing is shining up at him.
