Oh, Merlin, with your implausible storylines and unecessary exposition: you are fecking insane but I love you anyway.
Some things:
- Uther must be extraordinarily dim for all that sorcery and whatnot going on under his nose EVERY DAMN EPISODE.
- I love Morgana but I wish the writers would give her more to do. She is clearly wicked sharp but all she seems to do is flop around having nightmares/stalk around with improbable cleavage making snarky remarks/sexy eyes at Arthur/be confined to her bed/room for her own safety. I want to see her doing Hero Business dammit!
- Gwen is sweet but disposable. I like her and Morgana, though - there needs to be more femslash in this fandom. Also had insane chemistry with Lancelot (who had insane chemistry with everyone he was on screen with) - I'm interested to see where that goes when he comes back (he is coming back, right?)
- Merlin is ADORABLE. I want to give him cuddles in a completely platonic way. I like how he can be a right stroppy brat sometimes and I like his friendship with Gwen and I like the banter/TRUE LUV with Arthur and I like how he is with Gaius and I like how he gets things wrong sometimes and I like his goofiness and I JUST LIKE HIM OKAY. I am getting strong gay vibes off him - the only people he has had anything like sexual chemistry with has been Arthur and Lancelot and I am not just saying that as an incorigible slasher. I can just see him and Gwen giggling and having girl talk and discussing who is the fittest out of Arhur and Lancelot (THAT TOTALLY HAPPENED IN EPISODE FIVE, BY THE WAY)
- Gaius is lovely even if he is a bit thick sometimes (why did he not tell Merlin about Morgana's dream sooner - it would have saved a whole lot of troubl?) And the writers are far too prone to giving him unecessary exposition in order to make the episode stretch to 40 mins.
- ARTHUR PENDRAGON holy hell. His facial expressions! His prattishness! His sense of honour! He is such a fecking div and I love him so fecking much it is unreal. Obviously he is going to end up with Morgana and I am actually okay with that.
