I should absolutely be asleep and I haven't even got round to last week's yet, but, well.
+ How much do I love Morgana and Gwen, you guys? SO MUCH OMG. Running around being sneaky and competent and good with swords, eeeeee.
+ Oh, the quiet little way Morgana says "she is more than just my maid, she's my friend". MY HEART.
+ Ahahaha, I do enjoy Morgana shouting at Arthur. Also, "bring her home". THIS SHOW SHIPS ITSELF.
+ HI, LANCELOT! Oh, sweetheart, what on earth are you doing?
+ MERLIN ILU. I just -- yeah, that's all. *pinches his cheeks*
+ GWEN IS THE BEST THING EVER, OMG. So brave and badass and wonderful! *swoon*
+ WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH THE GIANT RAT THINGS. JUST. WHAT.
+ Also, Arthur is a dork. :D
+ Oh my, Gwen/Lancelot. More thoughts when I see how the episode plays out, but I love the way Angel is playing Gwen's range of new feelings omg!, it's lovely.
+ That conversation Arthur and Merlin have by the lake about Gwen is just wonderful - I love how much Arthur is growing to love Gwen and how much Merlin loves Arthur. In conclusion, OT5.
+ :(((( Gwen don't cry, no!
+ Lancelot is seriously suave, you have to give him props.
+ OH HELLO HAND!KINK, HOW NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
+ GWEN I LOVE YOU. a;slkdja;slkja
+ ... HOLY CRAP, EPIC GWEN/MORGANA HUG IS EPIC, EEEEEEEEEE. I CAN'T TURN MY CAPSLOCK OFF ANY MORE OMG OMG. (WITH, LIKE, HILARIOUS MERLIN/ARTHUR CODA, OH BOYS.)
+ Damn, I need to watch last week's episode at some point, BECAUSE OH SHOW I LOVE YOU.
+ Okay, so I am sad the that girls' ass-kicking quota mostly got used up in the first bit of the episode - I mean, seriously, is at all believable that Morgana wouldn't go with Arthur and Merlin, really? Really? And much as I enjoyed Lancelot's chivalry it did get very damsel-in-distress, though Gwen remained awesome. Also, some of Gwen's lines re. Lancelot felt kind of forced though I absolutely believed that her joy at seeing him again brought back a sudden rush of emotion such that him disappearing again out of the blue was really kind of devastating. (Wait, does that sentence even make sense? It's nearly 4am, okay, and I am giddy with Gwen love.) Which does not in any way negate her feelings for Arthur. And I am sure there is Gwen!bashing going rife through fandom, but stfu, haters to the left!
Also, did I mention that Gwen/Morgana hug? Because omg. <333333333 I am going to shamelessly steal

I WANT TO VID IT FOREVER. OH GIRLS. *sparkly hearts everywhere*

AMEN. I'll take meta any day, and disappointment, and distress. But flat-out vitriol? No thanks.
GWEN GOT AN EPISODE OMG FINALLY.
