Merlin liveblog, finallyI
Since this Friday, I'm not actually destroyed by work-related stress and exhaustion, I'm actually liveblogging Merlin this week. At the same time as madwitch, because we're incredibly cool.
10:01 Hey, it's Gaius Baltar! Hey there, Gaius Baltar.
10:02 Aaaaand it's a bit of a triskelion, because we can't decide which pre-modern European culture represents the magical ways of the Old Religion at any given time.
10:05 Yup, our Celtic symbol has Germanic runes, because our Druids don't really know where or when they live.
10:07 Gaius fears his apprentice has turned to the Dark Side, obviously.
10:11 Merlin, don't ignore Gaius and sneak out. This never ends well. Although DRAGON DRAGON DRAGON NO.
10:12 There's something almost horrifying about the dragon pleading with Merlin for help.
10:15 I approve of the show's increased focus on gratuitous nudity. We get shirtlessness, Bradley James' thighs, and wrestling. As the advisors look on in confusion and chagrin. This doesn't make up for missing Bradley's thighs last week, but at least I haven't missed more than one appearance.
10:20 Merlin, ilu, but you really are impossibly stupid. Not only are you helping this strange break into the city vaults, you're not going with him, and you're letting him take a dagger to "deal with" the guards. Uncool, dude. Uncool. And look, now you've been betrayed and left unconscious on the ground. What a surprise.
10:24 Yes, Merlin, why are you flopping on top of Arthur all over his bed? I think you should explain it to all of us in detail.
10:33 I'm glad they went with the tamer version of the prank scene, rather than the one where all the knights are moaning orgasmically over Merlin's stew.
10:35 IT'S A TRAP!
10:41 It's very important that we all walk very slowly under this waterfall. For the plot. The bit of the plot related to Bradley James' pouty lips and shockingly lovely cheekbones.
10:44 And naturally, Merlin utterly fails to notice the rock that was just flung into his stewpot from a distance.
10:46 Here begins the Indiana Jones portion of the episode. Spikes are, no doubt, going to come out of the walls next.
10:51 I'm glad you've gotten into the mines of Moria safely, Merlin. But don't take the egg off of what is obviously a weighted pillar, you'll bring the roof down on your heads.
10:55 Why yes, taking the chocolate easter egg off its pedestal did, in fact, trigger a vast chain reaction. Good job you got out before Arthur got back and saw, not that anybody would figure anything out anyway.
10:57 Having the dragons unable to hatch until a Dragonlord summons them forth seems...evolutionarily counterproductive.
10:58 BB DRAGON. A white dragon, apparently. Good luck, it would seem. BB DRAGON. WANT ONE.
