i watched the season 5 finale last weekend. i've yet to start season 6.

loved the last ep and it totally made me cry. i think i starting crying at "carry on my wayward son", heh. loved chuck narrating the history of the impala and the story of the boys. just beautiful.

the thing that bummed me out tho, was that we didn't get to see dean as michael (or michael as dean, whatever). i was expecting that ALL season. michael in adam vs. lucifer in sam wasn't nearly as exciting, and felt like a bit of a let down. it would have been awesome if it had been sam vs. dean, and both of them would have "won" the fight for control and sam would still jump in the pit, but dean would have willingly jumped in with him. cause that's their relationship. it would have been fucking EPIC. i think if the show hadn't been picked up for a sixth season, this is what we would have gotten. i think we still should have gotten it, pick up or no.

so i'm a bit annoyed with season 6 already because of this, and then my cousin says season 6 kinda sucks, so it makes me not really want to start it. i'm writing this now in an attempt to get myself to start watching it.

don't make me resent you season 6.

The Hounds of Baskerville

this was a good ep, but it was definitely a "filler" (as the middle ep, it literally is). i love russell tovey, but they never explained what happened to him. that was annoying. so i enjoyed it, but i had questionsss.


The Reichenbach Fall

holy shit, this show made me cry! poor john :(

how did he pull it off?? he obviously had molly's help, and the guy on the bike was planned so john was woozy and wouldn't figure anything out. how long is he going to make them suffer? poor john :(

and is moriarty really dead? he has to be, right? crazy ass bastard was crazy, but i loved him! crazy awesome.

i love that john, mrs. hudson, lestrade and molly had faith in sherlock. stupid mycroft :( stupid donovan :( stupid kitty :(

The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe

finally watched. so sad and silly and sweet! totally made me happy cry :)

oh, doctor. i know!

let's see how this goes!

The Hunter's Heart

this ep was pretty lame. nothing actually happened.

the whole morgana/agravaine bit is SO old and tiresome at this point. and the whole gwen bit was pointless and boring.

merlin was REALLY fucking annoying the whole time. WHY was he pushing for gwen so much? there is no reasoning behind it. and then saying nobody would sacrifice more for camelot than gwen? wtf are you talking about? again, this is more TELL not SHOW. seriously, this makes no sense whatsoever. WHAT THE FUCK HAS SHE DONE?

i really liked the princess! it's such a shame that they brought on yet another cool character, and great match for arthur, only to give her the shaft in the end. AGAIN. really fucking annoying. these characters just really emphasize how shit gwen and morgana are.

i liked that arthur genuinely like the princess as well. he was so flippin cute! stupid merlin :(

also, what kind of illness did bradley have? his face has been mangled the past two eps.

A Herald of the New Age

the first bit of this ep was really boring. but the last bit was awesome.

i really liked how merlin was essentially disagreeing with agravaine right in front of arthur.

i loved how arthur hid what he was going to do from agravaine and isn't automatically taking his advice anymore.

arthur's confession re: the druid camp was a complete surprise and his speech made me cry. that scene was amazing and bradley james was just stellar. and also gorgeous! LOVE that long brown coat. unf.

the scenes for next week's episode made a lol (gwen screaming and flying into a tree) and cringe (a morgana and gwen ep). not appealing :(

again, i just realized i forget to comment on last week's episode. (omg, what the fuck is up with this shitty font lj???)


the secret sharer

i didn't particularly enjoy this episode. i don't like the honest people being set up thing, and torture isn't my bag, either.

i also still don't understand why everybody keeps lying to arthur about morgana and agravaine. it makes absolutely NO sense whatsoever.

things i did like...

the scene with merlin and the other magic dude. it seriously made me tear up. how beautiful was that??

the scene with arthur and gauis at the end. gauis' speech was wonderful and i'm so glad he FINALLY explained the issue re: dragoon and uther. i hope arthur remembers this speech when the reveals happens.


lamia

lame is right. seriously, this episode was horrible as fuck. SO boring. i have absolutely NOthing positive to say about it.

His Father's Son

just realized i never commented about this ep.

i enjoyed it, but i don't know if i'd call it a good episode. there was a lot of rolling my eyes throughout.

i liked the "enemy" king and queen. she was great. why the fuck can't we have regular female characters like this? we get stuck with two shit ones instead. hopefully we'll see queen annis again sometime. oh, and i LOVED how she told morgana she was more like uther than gorlois. hah.

the gwen bits were stupid. i'm still not buying this "relationship".

the main redeeming factor of this episode was the absolutely UNDENIABLE LOVE between merlin and arthur. seriously. and there was some MAJOR eye-fucking going on in this ep. it's so beautiful :)

it's possible i had more thoughts, but i've forgotten them if i did.

The Wicked Day

so. apparently i am one of the few who didn't think this episode was OMG, BEST EP EVER! WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SINCE SEASON ONE!! as it seems most of the rest of fandom is. i guess i'm just missing something.

anyhow. while it was a very good episode and it ended on a hopeful note, it still made me SO angry! WHY are they going to SUCH an extent to make arthur hate magic so? why?? what is the point of that? everybody seems to suddenly be okay with the lack of reveal. i am not. it just frustrates me and makes me unhappy. poor merlin :(

and FINALLY! uther is fucking dead thank god. while it makes me sad that arthur is losing his father, and i do love ash, i am so fucking glad that uther is finally GONE. it's about time. he was such a bastard and i don't feel bad for feeling this way.

while some of the moments with dragoon were lovely, he still made me mostly cringe. i just don't care for this way of telling the story. and (again) in the end it was all for naught. which brings me to...

why the FUCK didn't gauis show that necklace to arthur? what kind of bullshit was that? he could have proven that dragoon was a GOOD sorceror and that he WAS healing uther and that (again) it was morgana being evil. what the fuck you stupid ass old man??? that made NO sense at all. fucking lame.

we saw very little of gwen (thank god) but she continues being cruel and heartless. every ep so far this season she's proven herself to be careless and unthoughtful and cruel with her words. ep 1 with lancelot (couldn't ask your brother or friend?), ep 2 with arthur (lancelot didn't die for camelot, he did it for ME), and ep 3 with arthur. he was trying to THANK her for caring for his father (which, yes, it utter bullshit. where the hell are his previous servants? why/how is gwen suddenly taking care of him?) while he's hurting and sad and watching him die, and instead of just saying "you're welcome" or something, she has to tell him that she's only doing it for him. wow, way to be callous about the man you've just been thanked for "helping". bet that makes arthur feel real good.

most of the merlin and arthur scenes were absolutely lovely, and for that i am thankful because that is why i watch this show. but many were just painful due to either 1. dragoon 2. lying/truth about magic. altho, the scene at the end when merlin is waiting outside the hall by the staircase was just utterly gorgeous! their closeness and friendship was beautiful to see. they really are best friends!

also, arthur says that both his parents died because of magic. since when did he find out that his mother died of magic? maybe i'm remembering incorrectly, but i thought he believed she died giving birth to him? and the whole thing with morgause in "sins of the father" was explained away by her being a lying evil sorceress. again, am i missing something?

so tired and bored of morgana. dear god i hope she's still not hanging around continuing to be the evil baddie next season. altho, by then i may have finally decided to stop watching.

so yeah. i get WAY too invested in tv shows.


EDIT:

a post i appreciated re: this episode... http://dreamdustmama.livejournal.com/170103.html

The Darkest Hour - Part 1

finally! merlin is no longer a boy, but a man :)

lancelot. yay!

love the knights.

hmm. me thinks merlin is going to sacrifice himself for arthur, but then lancelot is going to sacrifice himself for merlin. or something like that. stupid lancelot!

i loved a lot about this ep, and i'm just pretending the other stuff doesn't even exist.

oh, how i love and hate you, you stupid crap show.
