marguerite_26so - I decided for the first time to go completely spoiler free. Which means my reactions is OTT with no chance to really absorb the story that is being told and 'numb' myself to the bits I didn't like or talk coherently about the stuff I did like.
BE WARNED - nonsensical typing while watching reaction to 4.09 after cut.
Liked Arthur in that first scene. v. nice. also pretty.
Let's start off with Morgana knows about Gwen and Lancelot HOW? she didn't know about Gwen crushing on Arthur until S3? and now she's all 'i know everything about Gwen'? IDGI.
Said to Morgana: "You are destined to bring back the old ways."... WHAT???? um... WHAT?
she can bring back a soul from the dead and she doesn't chose her sister?
Santiago? SHOULD NEVER WEAR A SHIRT EVER. also should never be dry.
a wet naked Lancelot is 'yours to command' Morgana and you are going to waste it aren't you?
the arthur/gwen here is very sweet and romantic. :) i approve.
ARTHUR! ARE YOU TRYING TO BURN DOWN GWEN'S HOUSE. GAH! Fire safety rules!
Merlin, you creeper. >.> Totally awkward and inappropriate for him to be in that scene AT ALL.
LA! Lancelot doesn't know about Merlin's magic... ahhahah... okay then
OH FOR FUCKS SAKES. They are going to enchant Gwen because a women couldn't POSSIBLY be tempted by an old love. WHAT THE HELL. The girl is HUMAN her old love DIED - let her be tempted without FUCKING MAGIC. Well at least it played on already existing emotions and not just Imperioused her into loving him. @_@
lol. chicken is good! nice broth! what do you know about necromancy. LOL
GOD - Gwen/Lancelot is fucking ON FIRE in this ep. GOD.
WHY WOULD THEY MEET IN THE THRONE ROOM? WHA?
ARTHUR. Dude - that screaming like a banshee and going at them with a sword at finding them kissing? what was that? I mean wow. That was.. WAY OTT. Obviously he's an 'action' over words kind of guy but that was like... barbaric.
omg i hate this stupid episode.
DIE PAINFULLY - really?
WHY IS MERLIN NOT SAYING ANYTHING.
tomorrow was our wedding day? WHAT? You'd think there'd be a little more about that. like that castle getting ready and SOMEONE mentioning it?
LAZY writing. It's trying to add insult to injury in a throw away line that is just jawdroppingly useless.
you only had to wait one more day. OMG MY HEART.
Arthur. ;_;
um... Uncle Snape wannabe? are you going to just leave that inciminating letter with the prisoner that has no way of disposing of it? is he to eat it?
MERLIN! HElp the fucking girl with her very heavy cart. DUDE
ah, okay FLOWERS.. now I believe the wedding was 'tomorrow' God, they coudln't have shown that earlier instaed of all the stupid jousting?
oh... okay... I love this conversation between Merlin and Arthur. They will find you merciful. And it's not a matter of forgiveness but TRUST. that's really well written.
So Lancelot offs himself? Didn't see that coming!
heh.
it's nice that they found a use for all those wedding flowers. :/
But that little 'return' of Lancelot was nice. :) and also ;_;
and Merlin crying and lighting yet another love on fire ... also ;_;
Overall - I'm glad to see a story with Morgana actually 'winning' a round and there be consequences beyond a single episode. I think Angel knocked it our of the park - great range of emotions. I like Arthur's choices here (mostly). I'm annoyed - YET AGAIN - by merlin's refusal to even hint that Morgana was using them all as puppets. I do like that he implied Uncle whatshisnames influence.
But mostly? A great IDEA for an ep that needed a few better choices in writing and directing.
I also think it would have been a hellva lot more cruel for Morgana to MAKE ARTHUR KILL LANCELOT. !!! That would have been HORRIBLE for him to have to live with. You Fail at evil yet again Morgana.
um.. now I'm off to watch it all over again with Mr. M. Might like it better with lower expectations.
