In which I can't imagine this time next year

[kylezy]

Happy 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.

Er, okay. Trying this again. Stupid LJ posts comments without my consent now. Whatever. Take two:

I'm a horrible human being but I was just cheering the entire episode for Gauis to die. So close. I almost cried when he survived.

Merlin/Colin was hotter than hot in that cave scene; he was ~sizzling. Woah. That ended fast though. Bye bye, uncle Aggie, thanks for no explanation of your evil at all.

I actually really, really liked the whole sword in the stone sequence with how they did it here. Didn't think I would at all but yeah. You go, ego-boosting Merlin. Four for you, ego-boosting Merlin.

IF THEY LET IT GO ON FOR MORE THAN FIVE SEASONS AND I DON'T GET A REVEAL I WILL CUT SOMEONE

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

I WILL CUT SOMEONE

NOT SOMEONE. EVERYONE. EV.ERY.ONE.

[skeletonwords.livejournal.com]

RIGHT. OKAY. EVERYONE WILL BE CUT.

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

But we don't need to worry. Because there will be a reveal. There will be.

There has to be.

Right?

You're my favourite.

THIS! I actually quite liked that moment...illogical gathering of people aside.

Arthur/Morgana confrontation, FINALLY.

IKR?! I loved it!! I thought their acting was superb in this scene too <3

Urgh I'm too food-tired to make any coherent comments. Hope you had a lovely xmas!! ♥

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

I thought their acting was superb in this scene too

YES! I especially loved how calm Arthur was, even though he was clearly upset <33

I went to bed at about 8pm last night. Eating is so tiring, yo. I hope you had a great Christmas too!

5. When I first scanned your post I saw the capslock about hotness and thought you were talking about the weather. In New Zealand. And when I later realised it was about Colin, I had a good laugh. Probably not funny for you, but thanks. Little kiwi.

7. Tomatoes.

9. Chemistry?

10. I can feel your ire from here!

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

5. How drunk are you?

7. No, seriously, how drunk are you right now?

9. YUS.

10. I got ire coming out of every orifice, M.

[vinca15.livejournal.com]

UGH. next time this year I'll be 22 and you'll be TWENTY-SEVEN and em will be 105. =( or maybe we'll be dead. =( FUCK 'THIS TIME NEXT YEAR'.

I would like to offer up my shitting abilities for the Shit Quest. I'm a pretty great shitter, just FYI. I'll even eat a can of corn, if that helps.

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

UGH FUCK OFF WHY MUST YOU REMIND ME. Reveal though. That might make next year worth living.

Shit Fest 2012. Be there or be...someone with a life.

[sonicbookmark.livejournal.com]

MORE BROWNIES IS ALWAYS THE BEST IDEA.

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

My grandparents ate the last two, hold me, Alli :(((((((((((((

All of my feelings of ever on this, srsly. Just finished watching like three minutes ago and ~feelings.

1. This can lead to no good whatsoever. At all. Anywhere.

2. Fic. I want all the fic of this. BECAUSE EVERYONE NOTICED!

3. IDK/understand either. She was a kick ass character/actress and everything and I wish they had done a better job of...them. IDK if that makes sense.

3.5. Ugh. Because men don't die, bb. IT JUST ISN'T DONE!

4. I love Katie McGrath and ugh McGrath envy like whoa. But, damn she's batshit cray cray and I don't know what my feelings regarding her are, tbh. You'd think by now I would have.

5. WHAT WAS AIR?! WHAT WAS AIR?! WHAT WAS AIR I ASK YOU?!

6. I thought that, surprisingly, they did quite a fantastic job on that part. With Merlin and his watering eyes and ugh. I get exactly what you mean. Arthur just needed a confidence boost, but what he didn't know was that Merlin put a stool under it to boost it up that bit. :p

7. ~~~~~~~MAGIC

8. I wonder why they're keeping him around. I'm sure it's because they figure they've only JUST killed Uther off, and don't want to ~rush things or something. (I'm abusing ~~~ so badly, I'm sorry)

9. I lol'd when Morgana kind of...fizzled there. But it was awesome and full of feelings and dysfunctional family type things.

10. If we don't have the reveal by next year, I am going to light things on fire/destroy things/ cause general mayhems. BECAUSE HE HAS REVEALED TO BASICALLY ALL OF EVERYONE ELSE AND I NEED IT TO HAPPEN TO ARTHUR!

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

I wonder why they're keeping him around. I'm sure it's because they figure they've only JUST killed Uther off, and don't want to ~rush things or something.

I reckon it's also because Gaius can Explain All The Things in regards to the evil of the week. Gah, get some new ideas, writers!

[openmoments.livejournal.com]

If I wasn't such a big Merlin fan at this point, I would probably have given up because of how predictable it always ends up being. I'm really wondering how far the writers expect to get with recycling the same things over and over.

[soundandvision.livejournal.com]

I finally watched the ep and I have all the feelings! All of them!

I love how badass and together Merlin was. He's definitely been that way for most of the season but this ep was just...EVERYTHING IS COMING UP MERLIN! :DDD

I also love how emo Arthur and Merlin got; just awesome acting basically.

Tristan+Isolde=lame. So pointless.

I wanted to spritz Aithusa in the face with a waterbottle. Naughty dragon, you don't ever save the insanely gorgeous baddie. At first though I thought she was going to make friends with it and I'm like WTFTHEREISONLYONEDRAGONLORDWTF. I swear if they at all change that I'm gonna be so mad.

So happy A/M had a confrontation. Way more should've been said but I guess it's a start. Whatever, Arthur being all moral and shit and not running to choke her. Her powers fizzling as someone put it was A+ awesome.

And YES please can we do a freaking reveal already?! Honestly! I want someone to pat Merlin on the back. He needs all the hugs and pats and naked happy times. ;D

Am I the only one pissed that no one has given Gwen the magic defense? I mean yeah, she had feelings for Lancelot but if it wasn't for the magic she would've never betrayed Arthur. Everything else is blamed on magic. Someone shits wrong and it's magic's fault, so wtf. At least she's Queen so I am happy...for now. >_>

At first though I thought she was going to make friends with it and I'm like WTFTHEREISONLYONEDRAGONLORDWTF. I swear if they at all change that I'm gonna be so mad.

So many people are pissed about this! The fact that he flew away and didn't stay by her side gives me (a perhaps false sense of) hope though. Although it would be cool to see a dragon battle next season between Kilgahrrah and Aithusa. But still. THERE IS ONLY ONE LORD OF THE DRAGONS AND HE DOES NO SHARE POWER.

1. No really, what what what are you doing?

2. So much ;__;

3. the writers needed the ~epicness of their legend and love to really drive home the Arthur/Gwen point? Right, because that was really needed. *eye roll* Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one that just wanted Gwen to go away for a while.

3.5. For serious.

4. SO MUCH. I spent most of the episode thinking about her, her dress, her cleavage, and her hair.

5. SO FUCKING HOT.

6. It was so beautiful and Merlin was killing me with his praise and ego-boost.

7. I HAVE NO IDEA.

8. :( I see your point, but :(

9. Their faces! I wish the others weren't there, it would have been more heartbreaking for me and perhaps there could have been more of a conversation. I loved it.

10. *covets* When Merlin was telling the Totally Real History Lesson You Never Learned, Silly Arthur my brain added a little bit about a sorceror lover/bff helping the king out.


*gives you more brownies* ♥

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

♥ Did you like the ep? I have so many mixed feelings :x

[katie-andrew.livejournal.com]

I have mixed feelings too. :/

I was really excited by the beginning, but half way through I just kind of bleh. I think it's because I'm tired of Arthur and Gwen moments. I mean, they can be together and everything, I don't really mind that, but all of the looks and the violins ... I don't really know how to explain what bugs me about it.
I didn't really want the engagement/wedding, but I would have liked to see a wedding. /incoherence
