lokifanDoomy title. ARGH GIANT CGI SNAKE-DINOSAUR THING! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!
In Which Merlin Attempts To Bargain And Finds He Is Not A Medieval Alan Sugar
...The Questing Beast?! The Questing Beast is comic relief, not a giant CGI snake-dinosaur thing! Sir Pellinore spent most of The Once and Future King trying to find it so it wouldn’t be lonely! What the hell is this nonsense? Okay, in the original Le Morte D’Arthur it’s a symbol of all the incesty sex and chaos that ruins Arthur, but I doubt this particular Questing Beast symbolises that. I mean, this Arthur’s an only child. Unless he’s about to have a torrid affair with Uther, this Questing Beast is nothing but a plot device for the purposes of LOL ARTHUR’S DED OF SNAKE.
Poor Morgana.
SO MUCH SADFACE. Poor King Giles.
Off to Avalon already?
Huh, so this time it’s Merlin who rides off heroically and Arthur who’s ill and nursed by Gwen. He’s much more shirtless though.
MERLIN: I may be too weedy to row a boat, but I have my magic!
BOAT’S BELL: *clangs creepily*
ISLE OF THE BLESSED: *mists creepily*
MERLIN: I wish I had to save Arthur at the Isle of Wight. I could get a Mr Whippy afterwards.
MERLIN: Nimueh! You can’t be who the dragon meant.
NIMUEH: Why not?
LITERATE VIEWERS: Because Avalon belongs to a different evil sorceress, plus her sisters. Any of whom could kick your bionic arse.
Oh dear. Ten to one Gaius’ death will be the one that pays for Arthur’s life, and I LOVE HIM.
Merlin’s a guardian angel? That’s...dramatically ironic, considering the moral dubiousness of what he’s just done.
Aww, the Arthur/Gwen scene was very cute. I don’t quite understand how Gwen went from Merlin kissage to nought to thirty on Arthur, but it kinda works – sometimes crushes just fade away, and there were definite Meaningful Looks from her towards Arthur last episode. *fanwanks*
I knew it, I FUCKING KNEW IT. Gaius beat Merlin to it!
The letter made me cry. I can’t help it; Gaius is my favourite. He’s not naturally brave, a collaborator and a watcher by inclination; for him to actively seek out death to save Merlin is -- *sniffles*
FIGHT SCENE!
Jesus fuck, Merlin murdered someone!
Yay Gaius! I HEART GAIUS.
I really enjoyed this first series – especially the silly parts. I hope for more silly parts, and more Gaius snark, in series two!
