Merlin 3.7

[new_kate]

Cmon, the episode finished ages ago, why is it not at all indicated all over my f-list??

It was really all kinds of awesome. I'm sure there was enough fail but I can't see it right now underneath all the awesome sauce on top.



But then again, I'm easy to please. Tied up and furious Arthur kneeling at Cendred's feet while Cendred is all clad in leather and smugness? Good times.

Bonding moment in the cell? There will never be enough fanfic with bonding moments in the cells.

Cendred/Morgause/Morgana - best dysfunctional pseudo-family ever.

And the opening scene. Me thinks Arthur is so grumpy in the mornings because Merlin never thought to wake him up with snuggles and blowjobs.

I think all the other merlin fen on my flist are too scared to watch, so are waiting for episode reactions!

I missed it as I was cooking dinner, but I'll probably catch it on the iplayer at some point

I think I have finally developed the ability to ignore all the bad bits and latch onto good ones. True Blood marathon probably helped align my fangirl chakras.

Everyone was exceptionally pretty in this episode, and that's the important part :D So many exceptionally pretty people with swords!

This episode was so worth it just for giving me Merlin and Arthur locked up in a cell together. \o/

I was also very focused on the way Morgause was holding Morgana's hand in that scene with the two of them and Cenred near the end. I'm not usually a femslasher, but...

Oh, and Arthur slinging Morgana over his shoulder was bloody hilarious. *g*

YES. There were chains and manly bonding and Arthur being awesome.

I'm quite the femslasher and Morgause/Morgana is awesomely hot. And Cendred glowering in the middle of that just adds to the excitement. OMG his leather catsuit and cheesy double swords, he's so fabulous.

I think my husband is going to especially enjoy that scene with Morgana slung over Arthur's shoulder. He doesn't get much fan-service from this show (except for occasional "Morgana bouncily runs up or down the stairs" moment) so I'm glad there's something for him :D

i liked it :)

i loved the merlin/gwen, of all things. i loved that she couldn't lie to him then and they both knew it.

ther merlin/morgana confrontation was ok too, it was hillarious that they kept glowering at each other throughout the journey and the other two didn't notice.

the arthur/gwen was ok too, if only they had this kind of pacing in season 2! *siiiigh*

i loved morgause/cenred as always, and yes, cenred is faaaabulous. i also love that morgana and morgause have to hold hands every time they meet. hehe.

I loved Merlin/Gwen too! When he patted her arm, I awwed out loud. I miss their friendship so terribly.

Merlin/Morgana - seriously, poor Arthur keeps get written dumber and dumber all the time, how can he possibly not notice any of this, it's really hilarious. And you're so right, this all feels like missing episodes in Arthur/Gwen development. I was so prepared to like Arthur/Gwen when the show started, and now I feel like the writers want to confuse me about their dynamic just because they're mean or something.

And yesss if I was Morgana I absolutely would have to hold Morgause's hand every time we met. At the very least ;D
