kylezyHappy December 25th, guys! I've just come home from my aunt's Christmas party, so my Christmas is now officially over. Just gonna sit here and stuff my already-full face with more brownies for the rest of the afternoon. Good times.
So, I'd read the leaked spoilers and to be honest, I was pretty bummed about them. But after watching the ep, I have to say it was at least better than it sounded in print.
1. Aithusa, you little turd. Bad dragon! Bad! Dragon!
2. OOOH, the bit where Arthur's Merlin-senses were tingling and he had to go after him ;____;
3. Super sad when Isolde carked it, but I don't quite get the point of introducing those two. I mean, why not Bob and Jane? Because the writers needed the ~epicness of their legend and love to really drive home the Arthur/Gwen point?
3.5. Not even going to touch why SHE had to be the one to die, by the way. Oh writers.
4. So much Morgana hair envy, oh my gosh.
5. How effing hot was Merlin in the cave with Agravaine? I'll tell you: SO FUCKING HOT.
6. Okay, so when I first found out that Arthur didn't pull the sword out of the stone by himself, I was like, OH HALE NO, buttttttt I actually didn't mind how they portrayed it. For one, he didn't actually need to be able to pull it out by himself, seeing as how Merlin was pulling legend out of his ass. I mean, it would have been nice for him and that's what I was pissed about when I first read the spoiler, but it wasn't necessary. Buttttttt also part two, the way they did it: it wasn't so much Merlin holding the door open for Arthur, like I thought it would be, but rather Merlin swiping the keycard before Arthur could open the door. If that makes sense? It seemed more about unity than anything else, or at least that's the way I'm looking at it.
7. How did the dragon get all those people to come to the stone? I mean, after series two, you'd think the people of Camelot would shit themselves into an early grave if they saw a dragon flying by. Moreso if he started talking to them, I'd wager.
8. Ugh Gaius, die already. He's like Dumbledore in HP, Harry couldn't really grow up until he'd lost him and learned to stand on his own two feet. It's time for Merlin to learn the same thing. He's already got it pretty much in the bag tbh.
9. Arthur/Morgana confrontation, FINALLY.
10. This time next year we might have had the reveal, guys. Wait, let me rephrase that. This time next year we BETTER HAVE FUCKING HAD THE REVEAL OR I WILL SHIT OVER EVERYTHING YOU LOVE, WRITERS.
