Merlin, Season 4 Premier.

[logansrogue]

I'm always sad when I've made my way through another season of Doctor Who, especially seasons that are as FUCKING AWESOME as the ones ol' Moffs is serving us, but it's okay. It's okay. Cause when Doctor Who is done, I get the sweet, sweet desert of NEW MERLIN.

So here I go, bloggin' the new ep. I was going to wait until the next one aired but then I was like, "SNORT, NAAAH!" My buddies Mel and Jag (and her sisters) better not read this post. Spoilers, yo.



- IT'S OUR FAVOURITE KNIGHT! SIR LEON! SIR LEON! BRAVE, HANDSOME SIR LEOOON!
- OH MAN. Morgause got SQUISH EYE.
- OOH. ARTHUR/GWEN KISS NOW IN CREDITS! YESSSSS!
- Oh, GWAINE. MY LOVE FOR YOU BURNS EVER ON, BRIGHT AND SHINING LIKE THE SUN!
- Thanks for that gratuitous view of ARTHUR'S SWEET ASS!
- Oh. Merlin IS wearing purple. The hell? The realise how rare that dye WAS back then, right? But shit, he wore blue as well, which was equally rare.
- GWEN!
- Holy shit, a YEAR has gone by? WOAH!
- Dude. I had no idea that Severus Snape was Arthur's UNCLE!
- Leon, I don't mind if other knights die. Just keep you and Elyan safe. You're both too gorgeous to die.
- "I made a promise to your mother... I'd always be there for you." Except in the first three seasons. LOL.
- I don't know why Morgause has given up on the Evil!Eyeliner. It suited her. Her eyes aren't fucked, there's just a little bit of bubbly skin around it. Come ooon.
- SLOW MOOOOOOOOOO, SLOOOOOO MOOOOOOOOTIOOOOOOON! (Follow the link, you really have to!)
- Nice goth boots, Morgana. Lots of people go through a goth stage, especially in their late teens. *nods and pats her shoulder*
- [Merlin drops jug, everyone looks as he falls over] ""TAXIIIIII!"
- OK Where the HELL have I seen that actress before?
- "The one called Emrys shall walk in your shadow. He is your destiny. He is your doom." Does this mean eventual hate sex?! :D
- "She called me Emrys." You know, if I were him I'd be like, "Gaius, why the fuck does everybody keep CALLING me that?!"
- YES! WE HAVE OUR FIRST SHIRTLESS ARTHUR SHOT FOR THE SEASON, LADIES AND GENTS!
- "Excuse me, Sire!" "Leon, we have to stop meeting like this..."
- God damn, Arthur is so hot when he's sweet like that. *sigh*
- Hah! A little sugar for Gaius!
- "Half a day's hard ride to the ??" YEAH! Hard riding with Arthur and his Knights!
- "Yeah, that you're a clotpole!" "That's my word." Oh, just kiss already.
- HELLO SIR PERCIVAL'S ARMS!
- GWAINE! Are you never NOT eating? You sexy fucker.
- No, it's just silly. Put some guantlets on at LEAST, Sir Percival. You're going to get HURT.
- I'm glad they're allowing for cleavage shots of the ladies for those of us that have varied tastes.
- I love it when Merlin and Arthur are honest with each other.
- OH MY GOD THAT LITTLE GIRL IS SO FUCKING CUTE MY OVARIES EXPLODED AND ALL MY EGGS SAID, "LET'S MAKE THAT BABY!"
- Percival, bless your gorgeous heart.
- Oh Arthur, you are such a DOOPUS. If there's a chance for you to lay down your life for Camelot, you pounce on it like a cat on ham and cheese.
- Of course Snape is evil.
- Aww. Arthur talking to his mad old Dad. :(
- OH GOD. WAY TO TEAR MY HEART OUT, TONY.
- D'AW ARTHUR STOP IT YOU'RE KILLING ME HERE! A/G LOOOOVE.
- Yep. It's the SLO MO HOT KNIGHT PATROL. I could watch a WHOLE season of this!
- "Thanks Uncle Snape. Take care of the Kingdom!"
- Of course. When Arthur goes and runs headlong into stupidity, Merlin chases after him. Those two are so in love.
- It's okay Lancelot. You're denied by Gwen, but here, come to my open arms, you hunky man, you!
- "It's my duty to protect Arthur. Surely you understand that." "I can understand that very well." See? Everyone wants to bonk Arthur.
- "Sometimes you puzzle me." "You never ?????" What did he just say then?
- Merlin DEEYD!

Next Week
- DRAGON BACK!
- Ok, so Merlin regains consciousness, obviously. And then he looks dead again? I'm interested to see how that pans out.



I should try to get some sleep before the Royal Show wakes up and makes lots of noise. God damn it's late. Early. Whatever.

OMG Merlin!! Thank you! I forgot it started back this week. I'll be back in a bit to discuss it with you :)

Okay, I've watched it. So much to love in this ep! All the Arthur/Gwen and Arthur/Merlin, having all the knights with Arthur now, and Gwen being awesome. I'm not sure how Merlin is going to be undead, either. But if Morgana figured out who Emrys was (which I think was the point of the dream sequence), then he's probably going to have to get un-dead a lot this season.

The actress who played the gatekeeper is Gemma Jones. She played the mom in Bridget Jones' Diary and Madam Pomfrey in the HP movies, among other things.

I'm so happy this show is back!
