Thoughts on the GWENISODE

Oct 23, 2010 20:43

I've watched this episode three times now (IT WAS TOO GOOD), so I think I'm ready to discuss my thoughts.

The Gwenisode did not disappoint! )

And I had to giggle at the end when he asks Gwen about whose dresses those belong to, it sounded like to me they might've been Gwens. And he got this look on his face as he looked at the dresses like he was imagining Gwen in them and then ripping them off her, and he even bit his lip and then shook his head.

LMFAO. I did not get that impression at ALL (Gwen has some pretty dresses, but I don't think she can afford silk ;-)). I thought she snuck into some noblewoman's room and stole them, and Arthur was tickled that Gwen had done something so...un-Gwen-like. Clearly I need to get my mind more in the gutter!

I NEED A KISS FROM A/G AT SOME POINT WRITERS!! GEEZ!!

It has now been ten episodes without a kiss. I feel like this is illegal or something. They're so clearly in love. LET THEM CONSUMMATE SHOW IT.

IDK that purple dress looks like it's silk...:p Hell, Gwen has more nice dresses than actual princesses, as seen last week! ;)

I thought it was implied that she had just taken them from Morgana's closet (they looked like it), and that Morgana had too many dresses to notice...it was nice that the writers actually remembered that excuse though!

No, no, I know that Merlin knows Morgana's Cendred/Cendred's (CAN'T DECIDE ON A SPELLING) inside man, but until now it seemed like Merlin thought Arthur/Gwen was ~TOP SECRET. And, really, Morgana DIDN'T know until last week. So why did Merlin just assume that she knew? I would've liked a scene about that. Actually, I would've KILLED for Merlin finding out last episode and Merlin being all D= because he was scared for Gwen.

Protective!Arthur is one of my favorites. I NEED TO SEE HIM BE LIKE THAT WITH GWEN. NOWWWW.

Must u be so callous abt servants being replaceable? Keep this up & u'll never see any grandkids. I'm warning u!

LOL. He'll be dead by then anyway.

You know, thinking about this, it actually makes me a little sad...;_; I think Uther would love being a grandfather, and it'd be so funny seeing him deal with babies, I think he'd spoil it rotten! :p In my canon now that's partly why he wanted that marriage with Elena so badly! ;)

No, I may act blasé about it, but it makes me sad as well. I just highly doubt that the show would ever let that happen. :-\

OMG! Arthur and Gwen were so cute in this episode! Can we squee together over that brilliant scene in which Arthur tries to indicate he wants to be left alone with Gwen! I love the scene of them alone together- I've re-watched it several times, it was nice to see them slightly more relaxed, and with less tension. Although I was heartbroken that it was another almost kiss... :/ these writers need to stop teasing us ( ... )

Weren't they just? They were so couply! You know, in that way that two kids on the verge of being something more or who have JUST entered a relationship are. ASDKJALSJD. Adorbs.

I actually didn't feel that "and he does this for all the handmaidens?" was a protective brother scene, rather a "I know what's up, don't try to pull one over me" scene. I LOVED how he grabbed her into a protective embrace at the beginning, however. THE CLINGING. <3

It broke your heart, bb? Why? It actually made my heart SINNNNNNNG. They're making so much progress! He pretty much said, "I love you," and Gwen didn't run this time! It was glorious. And I loved how at the end Arthur looks away and you can just SEE that he's realized that he's too in love with her and that he WILL have to fight for their relationship eventually. Well, at least that's what I saw. Heh.

Not a problem, bb! And I have no idea. I've been checking every so often, but I imagine when the information is released it'll be all over the comms. =)

I thought she snuck into another noblewoman's room and "borrowed" the dresses. I don't think she'd take them from Morgana's since they're supposed to be new dresses for Morgana! LOL.

Someone wrote a short fic about that over at merlin_multis" 3x06 coda/spec drabble-fest, but I would've LOVED to see it fleshed out. Gyah.

THE SIBLINGNESS AND ADORABLE PENDRAGON JUST HAVING CONVERSATIONS AND HOT MERLIN/MORGANA HATESEX AND HILARIOUS EVIL CENRED AND MORGAUSE AND HARDLY ANY UTHER OR GAIUS. IT'S LIKE THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED.

In all seriousness, I sooo enjoyed the fireside scene because I can totally picture them talking like that when they're married. Just two people discussing things that worry them or amuse them or whatever. It was nice to have a serious conversation, but not be So Epically Serious about doom and gloom, you know?

ELYAN AND GWEN ARE THE BEST SIBLINGS EVER. HANDS DOWN. AND ELYAN IS LIKE A GIANT TEDDY BEAR I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. AND YES TO MERLIN/MORGANA HATESEX. SO MUCH OF IT WAS HAD, THERE'S NO GETTING AROUND IT.

Exactly!! There were a BUNCH of Future Pendragon moments throughout this episode and I LOVE it. The producers said we'd see glimpses of the future king and queen in terms of how they would make amazing co-rulers, and yes, we've seen that. But we're also getting glimpses of what they'll be like as husband and wide, and I love that even more.

Absolutely. I love angst, but a relationship cannot be built on just that. They're finally finding the balance. They're becoming a REAL couple, Anjali. OMG, OUR BABIES ARE GROWING UP. &hearts_&hearts
