Merlin 1x13

HOLY SHIT MERLIN IS BADASS AND SOMEWHAT TERRIFYING.

... I APPROVE. :D

Although, I will be very very upset if that really is the last we see of Nimueh - surely she's in the too pretty to die category? Too awesome and interesting to die, certainly.

Okay, Merlin's goodbye scenes with Arthur and his mum nearly made me cry, wtf. Well played, Colin Morgan, well played. And oh god, that scene with Arthur. I mean, every single one of Merlin's lines was pretty much "I love you to a ridiculous extent", wasn't it? Gah. *heartclutch* Written IN THE STARS. I don't even feel like I'm actively shipping them at this point, just enjoying the canon and whatnot. :D

Having said that... I got such a kick out of the Arthur and Gwen scenes, especially him calling her Guinevere. My screw it I'll just ship everyone philosophy kicks in once again! (OT4, y/y?)

One final and terribly important shipping note: Gwen and Morgana are girlfriends FOREVER AND EVER THE END. ♥ ♥ ♥

Morgana. Right. I am a big fan of prophetic Morgana, but um, not so much with the histrionic dragged away by guards shtick? What was that? Especially straight after last week. o.O I am confused as to why she didn't actually get anything to do, just appear randomly and pronounce doom.

I really, really want to write an episode coda -- you know how I love those -- but won't have time for a while, so you should all get on that for me.

And once more for good measure: HOLY SHIT MERLIN. He killed Nimueh with a bolt of lightning and blasted back dragon fire and skewered that awful CGI'd monster and omfg.

Hi hi! I have missed your comments! :D

so I reckon somebody will summon her back together.

Ooh, yes, I'm totally on board with that theory.

that pretty much signs his death sentence but his face splits into this huge grin...

OH MY HEART. So in love! I cannot even. This episode is the one that really sold me on the idea that there's *already* something there, rather than just oodles of potential.

Clearly I really want this all to end in a massive orgy.

Bwahaha - hey, this show is ridiculous, it could happen! And mmm, yes, I would really love to read something when Merlin and Morgana and Nimue all hook up and go magical darkside, that would be total win.

And I agree - I loved the episode but it didn't have everything in it that I'd hoped. I think if I take it and the previous episode as some kind of finale two-parter that will work better, otherwise it just feels like things got dropped for the sake of a happy ending. And I'm happy Gaius didn't die, I am! But it felt a strange place to end. Hence, apparently, my need to write fic at three in the morning. *facepalm*
