Merlin 3.12

[logansrogue]

Well, it'll be a different format reaction post today because I actually watched it a couple of days ago with my sister. Since I was watching it with Helen, it would have been rude to stop mid-show to type stuff. So, my reactions are in no particular order:

- LEON! OH MY GOD. When I saw him dead, MY BUTTHOLE OPENED. I WAS SO SCARED. I WAS *THIS* CLOSE TO CRYING. THANK FUCK FOR THE MAGIC CUP!
- I'm so tired of Morgana's evil face. I'm so glad that she's properly evil now. Hopefully that means we won't see the "Secretly Evil" face so much anymore.
- GWAINE YOU AWESOME FUCKING LEGEND OF A MAN!
- The Adventures of Arthur, Merlin and Gwaine make for excellent viewing.
- I really, really like Gwen's bro.
- Gaius and Merlin hugging after the fall of Camelot was soo sweet, I about cried.
- Poor fucking Uther. Even if he is a scary bastard.
- Arthur's face when Morgana was made Queen was so sad. And that knowing look from Merlin *broke my heart*. You just know he wanted to say, "I wanted to tell you, man, but I couldn't, and I'm so fucking sorry."
- Uther getting his crown taken off him, seriously, it was horrible sad.
- I can't believe Merlin lost the cup. WAY TO GO, MERLIN.

Next week's episode.

- ROUND TABLE AHOY!
- LADY OF THE LAKE AHOY!
- OH MY GOD TOO EPIC I AM GOING TO SHIT MY PANTS!
- Wait... this means Uther's going to die, doesn't it?
- And Lancelot and Gwen are going to bone next season? My heart, it bleeds!!

I was SO SCARED when I saw Sir Leon looking all dead, and then Arthur said he was dead and DO NOT WANT. And then the episode had to keep taunting us with putting him in near-death situations, just to screw with my mind.

I really liked Gwen's single scene, though. Spy!Gwen, anyone? And it kind of showed that despite how mean she's been to Gwen, Morgana still does care about her - as long as she's loyal. My inner Gwen/Morgana fangirl is happy.

I think if I were a Gwen/Morgana shipper (and I did like that dynamic when it existed in Series 1) it would be a sort of good/evil, love/hate sort of thing. Which is fun in itself.

Gwen is SO CLEVER. I just love seeing her do awesome shit. I thought she was going to tell Morgana to go fuck herself and then she was all, "Yeah, I'm with you" and I'm like, "OOH YOU CLEVER, CLEVER QUEEN OF ALL THAT IS SHINY AND GOOD!"

Leon better make it alive through the end of the series or I will really be pissed off. And I'll cry. Lots.

I don't really ship it all that hard anymore, because evil!Morgana is epically turn-offy, but I do like seeing anything to reinforce the idea that there used to be something more there. But we all know Morgana's hot for Morgause now.

And Gwen is the smartest person in Camelot, no question.

If they kill Leon... *internet raaaaaaaaage*

"I'm so tired of Morgana's evil face. "

SO MUCH THIS.

I could totally get with the programme if she was all angry and bitter and righteously pissed the fuck off, because she has every right to be; but this "I'm just getting my evil jollies" has worn perilously THIN.
