Merlin - S04E09
Nov. 26th, 2011 09:45 pmLancelot du Lac
was NOT looking forward to this episode AT ALL. i have no trust in the writers or the tptb in handling this storyline well.
now having watched, i'm not quite sure how i feel. going back and forth, because i actually enjoyed watching the ep, even tho i was hating most of what they were doing.
i love and adore arthur. and i think bradley james has been pretty fucking amazing this season. but i dislike gwen SO much, and i think angel coulby is a shit actor. so even tho i really kinda hate the arthur/gwen relationship we've been given from this show, i actually think this COULD have been fairly good. but gwen/angel just doesn't fit the bill and is no match for arthur/bradley, character wise or acting wise. so it didn't work and that's unfortunate.
i also love and adore lancelot. i HATE what they've done to him, i HATE the way that they brought him back from the dead in this way and i HATE that they really did kill him in the end. i was bawling in that last scene with him and merlin :'( i was hoping that maybe it would just be the shade that was dead, so REAL lancelot could eventually really come back, but then merlin did his little spell thingy and it seems that real lancelot DID come back at the end and then STILL died. shit. fuckers. so sad :(
i know it's awful to say, but i'm really glad that arthur sent gwen away. i know she eventually WILL be crowned queen this season, but i really don't look forward to that happening, and i'm glad it didn't happen this ep. so i liked that, even tho i hurt for arthur.
speaking of hurting arthur, wtf merlin? dude's just been cheated on and yer all extolling her virtues and "forgive her" the very next day. give the man a bit of time to grieve and shit. be a supportive best friend!
oh, and i didn't like gwen's line saying "i've always wanted to be your queen" instead of "wife". that really bugged me.
ack, i'm so torn.
also, how many pieces of fucking jewelry does morgana HAVE? good gravy.
also also, how hot was the scene with lancelot coming out of the lake?? unf.
