Merlin - 1x07 "Gates of Avalon"
Okay, I really really liked this episode. The humour was great and I think everyone gave good performances, the directing was awesome and so on. Of course, it wasn't flawless, but I thought it was very good. So good in fact, that I made a picspam.
Episode starts with Morgana seeing Arthur drown. At least this was a huge 'this is going to be a great episode' thing for me. It was just a feeling.
Arthur ponders his good intentions and Arthur decides to play matchmaker...
And Morgana is in for the surprise of her life when she realizes that the girl from her dreams is at Camelot.
Merlin notices that something is amiss...
And Morgana pretends like everything's fine although she doesn't do a very convincing job of it.
Arthur wants to get out of 'being a prince' duties to woo Sofia and uses the friends for life card and Merlin, who is kind of gullible, agrees. Oh Merlin, will you ever learn?
Meanwhile, Morgana feels as though she's living her worst nightmare, literary.
Now for the hilarity and what was undoubtedly one of the funniest moments:
Oh Merlin. Seriously. How often have you ended up there during the course of the show? Utter hilarity.
Random 'Arthur being pretty' cap.
Hello ship, you are killing me with angsty pictures. Was I the only one who was little disturbed by the fact that he didn't even look at her?
Apparently Morgana's been jealous before... Now that's interesting. Any theories, y'all?
"I had a dream... a nightmare." She's sort of admitting that she's worried and what does Arthur do? Laugh. Well, anyone would be angry at that.
Seriously.
Oh, OTP, I love you. Thank you for being so deadly pretty.
Also, utter hilarity. Merlin, keep coming with such great lines and we'll be friends for a very long time :)
Red eyes! Eeek! Suddenly it felt as though I was, for a second, transported into an episode of Supernatural.
Say what you want about Morgana's lack of action, but I think that it always seems as though she's the only one who is able to have an intelligent conversation with Uther and able to get through to him. I think that says something. My sister was annoyed by the lack of Morgana-doing-things-on-her-own, but I think that's something that's going to develop later on and I think that you kind of need to remember that women didn't even think of themselves as very proactive creatures. I think her 'well I don't need men to do my business' attitude is something that is going to emerge, the same way that Arthur's maturity is played. It's a process, not a flash of lightning.
I just needed to add this in because I think it really shows that Uther cares for Morgana and I think that's sweet.
Fast forwarding past a lot of drama, we end up with Morgana coming to see Merlin. Now, I'm of the conviction that these two are really cute and that Merlin obviously has a crush on the castle beauty. I'm basing this on Merlin's little crush-y behaviour when Gwen said that Morgana was born to be queen and his 'Arthur gets all the girls and glory' comment.
Thank you OTP for being so cute. I really appreciate it.
Now this was a really short picspam because I prepared it late last night and well... I'm off to write NaNoWriMo... What did you think of the episode?
