REVIEW MERLIN 2x02: Or how I became a Gwarthur shipper
WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS
Episode 2 was lifted straight out of fanfiction. Nothing else will convince otherwise. It was the sappiest, most cracktastic, most chick-flicky episode ever. And it was so cheesy, plot, music and all, that you'd think cheese was going out of fashion.
But I fucking loved it.
DISCLAIMER: I am a Merlin/Arthur shipper through and through. Sorry, but you do not exchange sex-eye looks like that and get away with it. And they're ready to sarifice their lives for each other - Your Argument is Invalid.
That said, all the Arthur/Gwen in this was just so fucking cute I couldn't contain myself. I awed.
PLOT
Arthur character development ftw. Arthur can't handle all his knights patronizing him at the local jousting tournament, so he goes about winning the tournament under the name of a false knight, played by some random farmer. And he suddenly likes Gwen and it's like they're shitting rainbows and puppies. Oh, and there's a random evil twin of Kanye trying to kill the crown prince. Naturally, Merlin saves the fucking day (again) and bitch slaps Gaius in the process.
CHARACTER
ARTHUR: There is a reason why storyline's involving the betterment of Arthur's character are some of my favourites. There is something extremely endearing about a prince who understands how flawed he is.
GWEN: Girl, I love you. Just a few lines and she just transforms from this boring old wallpaper to one damn fine HBIC. I am extremely impressed with how smoothly Angel Coulby pulled this off and kudos to the writers.
Seriously, Arthur gets put in his place by Gwen and It was awesome.
MYROR: Kanye's medieval twin was the archetypal assasin. Whoever acted him, good job. And nice haircut. I mean wat.
FARMER: This was seriously the funniest part ever. And he doesn't say one word.
COMEDY
The comedy was top notch. I haven't laughed so hard in months.
IDK what else to say. I'm tired so I'll shut up now. I had the best time ever in the party post at merlinaustralia
Here have a few macros:
