Wow, that's fantastic! Thanks for the rec <3 I am making icons right now when I should be writing. Just got finished rewatching the episode and while I can't say it was 100% brilliant (what Merlin episode ever is?) I did really like it as a whole. Were there any particular !!! or ??? moments for you?

I adore corking and when she does Merlin art I just flail in happiness. :D

I loved the juggling! Loved all the tender moments and the humourous moments between Merlin and Arthur. They definitely deliver on the bit that works best for them (ie: selling the bromance). Also I got glove!kink, shared warmth!kink, trapped in a net together!!!!!!!!!!!! and tender fireside moments. So um... plot? other characters? LOL.

But Morgana and her dozens of shirtless slaves ... I can't even... I mean YOU HAVE MAGIC. Find the fucking think WITHOUT PICKAXES. >.> Though, if I had magic and wanted to use it for good, I would make all the round table hotties be sweaty and naked too. SO.

Merlin not using magic to get out of the net? LAME.

Gwen... I loved Angel's deliver on the 'sentenced to death' scene. I think she was believable in her ~my husband might be dead and it's your fault~ heaving bosom.

but it was entirely Merlin and Arthur's love that carried this episode for me. I have very low expectations for this season so I'm trying not to focus on anything remotely plot related.

XD Sorry I had to laugh because I honestly try not to focus on the plot for this show either. I adore it, that's undeniable but the plot writing has always been the weakest thing about this show. Logic doesn't even get a look-in. It's all emotions and the boys can deliver emotions like no-one's business.

Morgana not using magic at all is lame. She doesn't use it to fight the battle or look for the fugitives either, let alone searching for the hidden relic beneath her castle. As for relying on spies...didn't her sister teach her how to scry before she died? Oh that's right, Morgause only did that the first time we saw her, then she seemed to forget how.

For a show that's supposed to be centered around a warlock, they woefully under-use magic in all aspects of the story-telling.

Yeah, I had to respect steely-eyed Gwen here. I haven't liked her in several seasons so it was nice to see.

It was all about the M/A love for me as well. If those two ever stop eye-sexin each other, I am going elsewhere!

Because OBV it wasn't a hardship to be caught in that bet with Arthur ;D

Hhaha, MTE. Boys, boys, boys this year. M/A's the only thing I see.
