KEYBOARD SMASH!!!! (aka Merlin 2x01 - The Curse of... something that I'm too lazy to look up)
HOLY HOLY HOLY CRAP! OMG, I FREAKING LOVE MERLIN! It was hilarious and wonderful and squee-worthy and OMG UTHER! UTHER!!!!!! I don't think there was a moment where I wasn't smiling. The Merlin/Arthur was AMAZING, the Gwen/Arthur made me go "Awwwwww!" with my hand to my heart, and Morgana was beautiful, AND DID I MENTION THAT UTHER WAS SEXY? BECAUSE I KIND OF LOVE HIM. This show makes me so ridiculously happy.
OBLIGATORY HALF-NAKED ARTHUR SHOT. Er... what else happened in this scene? I WAS TOO BUSY GIGGLING LIKE A SCHOOLGIRL.
UTHER/MERLIN SUGGESTIVENESS, BITCHES! HELL YES! Or, you know, Merlin dropped a plate that he had just used to save Gaius's life and he is trying to catch it as it just so happens to roll into the path of the MOTHERFLIPPIN' KING WITH HIS MOTHERFLIPPIN' BLING!
And Uther's very first line of dialog for season 2 is an arrogant sniff and, "Idiot." OMG OMG OMG I LOVE HIM. HE SENT MY HEART ALL AFLUTTER! AND MERLIN'S!
Check out that snazzy new coat! It is snazziness personified! No wonder Uther is super arrogant throughout this entire episode. Or, you know, he and Morgana are totally doing it. This would cause anyone to have an inflated ego. Also, HE'S THE MOTHERFLIPPIN' KING WITH HIS MOTHERFLIPPIN' BLING.
Some dude is dead and everyone is just like, "Meh."
Let's all take a moment to admire that flash of Uther's chest. *dreamy sigh* And his neck. *dreamy dreamy sigh*
I don't really have a reason for posting this one, but there can never be too much Uther.
The dude from Pirates of the Caribbean! He's a very wily dude.
Arthur fell off his horse in a very gloriously hilarious manner and he is now yelling at his wife Merlin.
Merlin is ready to cry. *sniff*
Of course, we all know it was the fault of Mr. Wily, and now he's flirting with Arthur.
Arthur wishes it was Merlin whispering such sweet nothings to him, but alas, it isn't, and so Arthur must be arrogant about how awesome other people find him to be.
Merlin is jealous.
Very, very jealous.
UTHER! EATING!!! He is the sexiest damn eater/drinker in the universe. He's so ARROGANT about it all. I love it.
!!! GLOVES! Saying, "Come hither." And oh did I come. I mean, I... forget I said that.
Gaius is all like, "It appears to be... SORCERY!!!"
And Uther is all like, "Psh, whatevs. That's what you told me last year."
"But sire, this is important!"
"Ha! Haha! Ha. Sorcery. Please. Like it's ever sorcery."
"It's SORCERY!!! every damn episode, Your Majesty."
"Oi, it is not! And don't you go around squawking to all your mates that this is 'sorcery' or whatever it is you called it."
"But Sire..."
"NO!"
Gaius bows and lets out a long suffering sigh as he leaves.
"Heh. Sorcery. That's so ridiculous. Where he does he even come up with this stuff?"
IS IT ANY WONDER THAT ARTHUR IS SO DIM? I think not. Although, to give Uther credit (sort of), I think he knew that Gaius was right, he was just in his usual state of deep denial to mask his utter terror.
Morgana is back to having her night terrors, and she calls out for Gwen. I love their little moments like this, I just have to say. It shows how deeply Morgana trusts in Gwen, and it's a very mother/daughter type relationship in these instances, and it's just so beautiful. That right there is one of only two relationships on this show that is made of pure, unconditional love. No matter what happens, I just don't see this bond ever breaking.
Aaaaaand Merlin's still jealous of Mr. Wily putting the moves on his man. That's just not cool.
OMG, she's so gorgeous! Even when she's been crying.
Merlin fell asleep in horse poo.
Arthur is amused but not amused. And totally in love with Merlin. But then Merlin calls him a clot-pole for not realizing that Mr. Wily was behind it all.
Arthur is trying to figure out what the hell a clot-pole is. And then he tells Merlin to take the night off so that Mr. Wily can see to him.
Ooooooh, Arthur, you clot-pole! LOOK AT HIS BROKEN-HEARTED FACE! YOU DID THAT TO HIM!
"I just want Arthur to trust me, and to see me for who I really am." Oh! Oooooooh! *sniff*
"Everything I do is for him, and he just thinks I'm an idiot." OMG, MERLIN! OMG! Oh, he is so, so in love with Arthur. Oooooh. HE WILL APPRECIATE YOU ONE DAY, MERLIN! In fact, he does, he just has no idea how to show it. HIS DADDY NEVER SHOWED HIM LOVE! See, everything on this show is always Uther's fault. *sigh*
Cedric steals the keys and ends up getting possessed by the "arrogant sorcerer who met an untimely death."
Merlin really, really wants Arthur to trust him about Cedric being possessed, but naturally Arthur is being dim, and Merlin is all hurty and angsty. And then he sees Cedric.
NOBODY TRIES TO TAKE MERLIN'S MAN! NOBODY!
Arthur is just like, "Hot damn, they're fighting over me! I always knew I was awesome."
And then, much like Uther did to both Arthur and Morgana in season 1, Arthur threw Merlin into the dungeons. It's how the Pendragons show their love, WHAT UP.
Oooooh, look how sweet Gwen looks!!!
And... now she's screaming.
BLING.
Something about the gargoyles coming to life and attacking the kingdom and blah blah blah and OMG UTHER IS SEXY!
And, amidst all this chaos, with his son out there on the front line, Uther is just chillin' on his throne. BAMF.
And then the ceiling starts falling apart...
And Uther is like, "Hmm... maybe I should move."
Gaius comes back and is all, "Hey, guess what douche, I was right. It's SORCERY!!!"
"DON'T YOU TELL ME IT'S SORCERY! I THINK I CAN FRAKKING TELL WHEN IT'S SORCERY, DAMN IT! NOW, LET'S KILL IT!"
*siiiiiiigh* "He's immortal, sire!"
"DON'T YOU TELL ME WHO I CAN AND CAN'T KILL, DAMN IT! I'M THE MOTHERFLIPPIN' KING WITH THE MOTHERFLIPPIN' BLING!"
"Whatevs." *hair flip*
"Ooo, that's bad, isn't it?"
ARTHUR. KICKING ASS AND TAKING NAMES. OR... NOT.
Merlin's bustin' out! And of course no one asks later how he got out of his cell.
AAAAAAAAH, GWEN GOT TO BE BADASS! AND ARTHUR GOT TO TEASE HER!
"Guinevere, I just want to say... that... you always surprise me."
Ahahahahaha, I love that she just looks at him like, "Really? You really just said that?" and Arthur is just like, "Aaah, idiot!" and practically slapping himself in the head. OH THEM! I LOVE THEM!
And then he finally says, "Thank you." Oooooh, they are so lovely. I honestly do not understand the hate for this ship. They are so wonderful! They are just the right mix of awkward and subtle. If I had to pick a canon ship to OTP, it would definitely be this one. But, you know, that still doesn't stop me from believing that the real romance on this show is Arthur/Merlin. *coughanduthermorganacough* But anyway, I love where they're going with this romance, and I love that this ep has gotten me excited about it. Seriously cannot wait for the ep where Lancelot shows up and Arthur sees the love vibes going on there.
ALL RIGHT! ALL RIGHT! Time for the Uther/Morgana portion of this picspam:
Uther comes in to check on Arthur and then he leans over and...
BAM! It is so sad that I am that excited over something so small, BUT LOOK! LOOK! They are totally sleeping together. I'm sorry, but they are. Forget that scene from earlier where Morgana was in bed alone.
And so ends the Uther/Morgana portion of our picspam. :'(
Like always, Uther decides to abandon the townspeople and just save everyone who is in the castle, because this means that Arthur will be safe. But, naturally, Arthur is all like, "Heck no, pa! I gotta save them people!" And Uther is devastated. Did I need that many pics to illustrate this? Yes.
Slashy's back! And he's, er... sharing... things, with Merlin.
Uther fights really hard to get to Arthur, BUT THEY WON'T LET HIM GO! Oh, Uther. Why do you only show exceedingly high levels of love for Arthur when he's NOT THERE?
Merlin has really pretty eyes. Like, really pretty.
*gasp* Oh no! Is he possessed? Or did he save everyone? Is he possessed? Oh no, he's possess--
Doh, you bugger!
Obviously this time of mortal peril was totally appropriate for jokes.
Dawwwwwwwwwww! *heart melts*
"I think we've learned our lesson."
"Yes, Sire."
"That I've been right all this time."
WHUT?
"All magic is evil."
"I've grown lax, Gaius. I mean, christ, I've only beheaded 5 sorcerers this week. What is wrong with me?"
"Hell if I know."
"We must ERADICATE!!! them, Gaius!"
*siiiiiiiigh* "Yes, Sire." [goes off grumbling about the king being a clot-pole]
Ooo, Merlin refuses to look at Arthur.
Until he thinks that Arthur's about to admit that Merlin was right.
But, naturally, Arthur is like, "Hell no, bitch, clean my armor!"
OH! Those boys. I love them.
