Oh, Gwen. :( What broke my heart this episode was that she is, as you said, a very realistic person. She's been through a lot of hurt, lost her only family, and has every reason to have a much darker outlook on life than she does. And here she was letting herself, just this once, get caught up in romance and flowers and girlhood whimsy... only to have her hopes dashed, her lowly place in the world enforced. Oh, Gwen. You are so much better than your lot in life, and one day you'll show the world. That said, the Arthur/Gwen kiss made me swoon. Argh, they keep screwing up my slash, whenever they have scenes together I keep smiling dopily and thinking of what an awesome kingdom Camelot will be with Arthur and Gwen as King and Queen. I mean, I know they're rushing it--when Merlin was talking about True Love's kiss breaking the enchantment I was all for Merlin trying his hand, makes more sense from what the canon has supplied us--but. Well, I know she'll break his heart someday, but until then I am so looking forward to the new age they will achieve together.
(Ahaha I wrote all that about Arthur/Gwen, lol.)
On Arthur/Merlin:
Arthur: So! I need your help in...expressing...my feelings. Merlin: Of course. Arthur: .........! Merlin:..............? Arthur: How do I express my feelings?!
XD OMG during Merlin's pause in the middle he does this little silent mouthed "What?" that SLAYS ME, I don't know how many times I rewound. Ahhh, their comedic timing is so SPOT-ON. I love them so.
OH GOD ALSO
King Olaf: Dammit! Every woman in the land is attracted to this boy…[thoughtfully]…I’m almost attracted to him myself.
..................?????????!! Why hello random drive-by squicky slash, and an LOL to you! (Although, does conform to the tru fax of 'Who wouldn't do Arthur?")
Yeah, I felt bad for Lady Vivian, too! I mean, she only has to find her One True Love in order to be freed!...except then I remembered that this is the age of fairy tales so this totally happens all the time, and I was able to move on.
"I did it for the LOLs." I think the Dragon has really started looking forward to Merlin visiting him, mostly because he's Chained-In-A-Dungeon Lonely, but especially because these last few visits Merlin has brought him Epic Lulz.
Argh Morgana where have you been?? I think you are right and she is totally tracking down Lancelot, because constantly Staring Out Windows Moodily has already been taken in earnest by Arthur, and Morgana is too clever to be using it as anything less than a front. Yay for next week!
