WHOA. Whoa whoa whoa. Did I click on a vid instead of the new episode? Did a slasher suddenly get a job working on the show? Am I dreaming? Because within the first 30 seconds of this episode there has been gratuitous Bradley James Semi-Nakedness AND rivulets of water trickling down his perfect face, AND Merlin DRESSING HIM IN THE SEXIEST WAY. I want to drown in his eyes.
And now it's abruptly shifted to classical Halloween troupe: boy spends night in haunted house and his friends watch on in glee.
Okay, I am completely lost about what Morgause told Morgana to do. “Make a likeness of the Prince and bind it to this gift using the skill I have taught you.” WTF does that mean?
YES GWEN CATCHES ON FTW
That kiss was fucking cute. I like how they didn't go all close-up and romanticizing of it. It was a sweet, “I'll be back soon, don't worry” kiss. And Gwen! I love how she looks so surprised and happy after, like, “He kissed me! He can do that now! We're actually in love!”
When Arthur crests the ridge, I got a very Monty Python-eque voice in my head muttering, “Doesn't look very perilous does it?”
“You'll need help.” Am I to suppose he means the Dragon?
I am totes getting sick of Morgana's Evil!Face. I almost want to make a vid about it.
I know it's horse-riding. But. When Merlin. Urges his horse on. He hip thrusts. Hot.
YEAH. IT'S NOT THE DRAGON. IT'S MY FAVORITE SEXY FUTURE-KNIGHT! Fuck yes.
Oh, boys. <3
Makeup dept is doing a good job making Arthur look physically drained.
“He who crosses the bridge of death must answer me these questions three, 'err the other side he sees.”
Inside his head, Bradley is saying “OMFG IT'S WILLOW OMG OMG I WANT HIS AUTOGRAPH”
Also, Mr Bridge Man totes checked Arthur out. WELCOME TO THE CLUB, GIRLFRIEND.
Am I the only one catching drifts of all the other fantasy movies and shows we watch as a fandom collective? Is not the Perilous Lands similar to the Cliffs of Insanity? And Is not the Bridge so similar to Monty Python? Dude. Willow. Come on.
Even Morgana's “We're friends again” face looks evil.
Is Gwen going to be all sleuthy?
!!! Oh no! If Gwen is being Sleuthy, what if Morgana finds her?! NOOOO!
Oh, okay. The reverse. Sweet.
Yeah, definitely getting a Princess Bride vibe here.
Haha, Merlin still doesn't get hand signals.
That...was actually pretty fucking hilarious.
….Are you fucking kidding me? Was that an ROUS. Oh jeezus.
“Same reason as you.” Merlin: “He's my boyfriend?” “To help a friend.” “oh, yeah. Okay”
Wait, did Gwaine just imply Merlin's lucky to have Arthur?
Look! It's one of the Two Towers! GO KILL SARUMON.
NAZGUL! I WAS RIGHT!
Uh, no. Wyverns only have two legs and wings. These have four. Bestiary fail, guys.
Holy shit that was so hot. Speak Dragon to me, Merlin, oh god.
Heeheehee Merlin's little grin, Arthur's indignation. <3'
Uh, Merlin? If there are pressure-sensitive floor tiles, maybe you should walk into that room a little carefully.
ZOMBIE!
...aaaand It's Indiana Jones.
I fucking love Arthur's EW face
OH MY GOD. THIS WILL SHOW YOU THE WAY? WHEN ALL SEEMS LOST? IS IT THE FUCKING STAR OF EVENDALE?!
Uh, Merlin? Give him the Phoenix eye.
I get the kneeling, really I do, shows respect etc, but it's really more like a Marriage proposal now.
Awwwwwwwwwww that hug is the cutest fucking thing ever.
Merlin's price is obviously Blowjobs.
Yay! Gwen sees evil faces now!
