Merlin 2.01

Ok, so I just watched the first episode of Merlin season 2. And true to my usual form of messy review, here is a blow by blow account of my thoughts along the way.
1.14 Shirtless Arthur... squeeeeeee!!
1.30 And I have to agree with some other fans here.. what is Merlin doing so close by? And... dressed? Isn't it nighttime?
3.00 Where's his neckershief? Who cares, really? *slobber*
4.20 "Are you always this clumsy or do you work at it?" "It's one of my many gifts." hehehehe!
6.10 Maaaan... sneaky Cedric.
6.25 More shirtless! *droooooool*
6.30 Woah, that's a big horse. Might explain the Footstool Merlin. Also, is it just me, or is Merlin surprisingly subserviant? Yes, Sire. Sorry, Sire.
7.00 Poor Merlin! Arthur is in a real mood, isn't he? Must be that devastating lack of sleep. Butt-kissing Cedric is right on cue...
7.27 GAH! That's just so over the top! Arthur must be denser than I thought for not realizing he's up to something! (No wonder he doesn't see Merlin's magic...)
7.45 LOL! Jealous Merlin. Awwww.
8.47 Woah, Cedric must have been kissing Athur's arse all the way to the woods. Suddenly he's carrying Arthur's spear as well as the beating stick! And poor for swatting Merlin in the face with branches!
8.57 Yay, looks like Merlin has been spending even more time with Arthur. He actually seems to know what the hand signs mean.
9.10. CHRIST! That's one heck of a boar! (More money for special effects, obviously!)
9.20 Way to go, Cedric. Falling on your arse. Sure, that'll help.
9.50 Cedric! Bastard... Taking the credit for saving Arthur's life. *grumble*
10.23 Gawd, he is a right bastard, isn't he! Ok, so perhaps Merlin had it coming after wacking Cedric with the stick himself earlier, but still. Butt-kisser.
12.03 Ooooh, spooky music... Sigan legend. Spooooky.
12.50 Gawd, I'm starting to see where Arthur gets his stupidity. Uther, you twit.
13.31 Ok, LOL. That Raven screeching sounds JUST like Morgana's own scream!
13.34 And again... why is Gwen so close? And dressed? Don't servants ever sleep in Camelot?
13.44 Total femme slasher moment here. :op Awww. Cute chicks hugging... who cares about a stupid nightmare?
13.55 More bastard Cedric. How stupid IS Arthur exactly??? Jeez. Dumb blonde o' doom.
14.23 "I'll get the door for you." *making strangling movements* Why I oughta...
15.30 Ok, maybe that's kind of an explanation for Gwen's closeness. She probably sleeps in the castle most days, maybe even in a section of Morgana's rooms. And I suppose even mideval servants had to work late occasionally.
15.39 LOL! That smoking thing that rolled in... for a moment I thought it was another horse crapping right at his feet. You know, horse poop smokes on cold mornings. Nvm.
15.47 Awwww.... Cedric... that's just mean. Poor Merlin snoozing on horse poo.
16.00 LOL, the music is awesome as the horses run wild!
16.32 Ok, maybe I'm just too much of a fangirl, but even with poo on his face, drowsy!Merlin manages to give Arthur the bedroom eyes. Mmm. Hot dream there, Merlin?
17.07 Aww Arthur... you're making Merlin cry... almost, anyway. *wants to hug poor Merlin*
17.25 Cedric again... I really... really wanna strangle that guy... sooner rather than later.
17.32 I'm not entirely sure what a clotpole is... but whatever it is, I'm sure it's a fitting description of Arthur right there.
17.55 Ok, so maybe Merlin won't cry. But I think I might. "Go... home!" *sniffle*
18.40 Aaawwww.... Daddy!Gaius. *sigh* Makes me happy.
18.50 SQUEEEEEE!!!! "I just want Arthur to trust me and to see me for who I really am." SQUEEEEEEEEE!!!
19.00 "Everything I do, I do for him." I... think I just died there...
19.20 Ok, it's official. Gaius is a closet Merlin/Arthur slasher! "I believe you and Arthur are destined for greatness." Squee!
20.09 More shirtless Arthur!
20.18 Ah, that explains Merlin's closeness. There's an anteroom.
20.36 "Sleep well, Sire." Dirty, sneaky Cedric.
20.38 Another dungbomb... err... sorry... wrong fandom.
21.20 What is it with all the moaning in this show? Cedric sounds like he's having a minor orgasm from all the gold.
21.27 Ok... he's OBVIOUSLY not getting any these days... and I don't mean gold.
21.42 Woah I didn't think anyone could top Garak on the bugging-eyes-out... this guy can!
22.30 Jizz-in-pants moment, there. Seriously... do the directors ASK the actors to look like they're having sex or is it just a mother of a coincidence??
23.25 Ok, I'll just have to squeee again here at the way Merlin says Cedric's name. His voice drops magnificently with hate! *happy fangirl here*
24.00 ARTHUR YOU TWIT!! Have YOU been in the cider????
24.29 Ok, that wrestling between Merlin and Cedric is just too funny. No wonder Arthur just stands there rubbing his nose.
24.40 LOL. Merlin under Arthur's bed.
24.42 WOOO! Arthur pouncing Merlin! Beautiful!
25.05 I find myself loving Enraged!Merlin muchly.
25.40 Ooooooohhhhhhhhh. Wonderful moment of imminent doom. Music and special effects top notch!
26.03 Eeew. Yucky Gargoyle.
26.10 Holy!! Woah, Gwen can scream!
26.41 Dun dun dun duuuuun! Hero!Arthur into action!
27.15 Gawd Uther, how stupid are you?! "Camelot will not fall to a sorcerer while I'm king!" Well it is. Moron.
27.51 I think I need a change of underwear after Arthur's fightscenes. Bradley, you gorgeous hunk, you... his concetrated fighting face gets me hot like woah...
28.50 Hee hee... cleavage in your face there, Arthur... "My pleasure" I'm suuuure it it, Sire. Mm hmm.
29.25 Awww. Smitten Arthur. Such a cute Arthur/Gwen moment. ...What? I might be a Merlin/Arthur shipper, but hey, he needs a queen and some heirs eventually. No reason he can't have a sexy sorcerer on the side, though. :oP
30.33 Ooooooh, Arthur going against stupid Uther! Awesome. Maybe the stupid isn't hereditary after all.
30.57 Merlin looks like he's crying right after Arthur storms out to save his people. Awwwwwwwwwww.
31.36 Of course Gaius knew about the dragon. Not much gets past him, does it? Gaius rocks SO hard!
31.59 Back to fight!face!Arthur... mmmmmmmm....
32.10 Also... Merlin is still bare-necked. Even more mmmmmmmm.... I swear this show is giving me a neck fetish...
23.42. "I'm not here for myself, I'm here for Arthur!" Squee!
33.27 Oooooh, sneaky dragon... first giving a few of his regular slashy hints and then... Smack! Something for something!
33.44 Poor Merlin. Gee... what to choose. Arthur dead or possible rampaging Dragon... hmmm
34.09 Sorry but... tee hee... tictac for you, SlashDragon?
34.30 Niiiiiiiice close up there, Colin. Mmmmm. Bradley is right...your cheekbones are wicked!
34.50 Hey... did that knight just call Arthur by his name? I thought they were supposed to call him Sire as well?
35.47 Woah... self sacrificing Arthur is begging for fic. *Fights off hordes of plot bunnies*
36.15 Aww. Unconscious Arthur moans wonderfully when Merlin touches him. Mmmm.
36.30 "I won't let you hurt him!" Protective!Merlin is hawtness!
37.18 Ooooh, Sigan really knows what button to push for most temptation. Ruling the world is apparently less important to Merlin than Arthur seeing him for what he is. Squeeeeeeeeee!!
37.30 Sigan must be channeling Darth Vader...
37.40 Again, Sigan uses Arthur as the final temptation. Slaaaaaaaaaaaash!!
37.55 "Better to serve a good man than to rule with an evil one!" Go Merlin!
30.10 Another jizz-in-pants moment. LOL.
39.02 More jizz-in-pants. I don't think Sigan got laid enough...
39.30 Woah... spooky Merlin in the fog...
40.00 More Daddy!hugs from Gaius. D'aaawwwww. Plus soppy music. D'aaawww.
40.24 "We must learn our lesson from these terrible events, Gaius." Well you wouldn't have HAD any terrible events if you'd have just LISTENED TO GAIUS IN THE FIRST PLACE, UTHER YOU UTTER TWIT!!!
40.52 O... kay... fanatic much, Uther?
41.40 Aawwwww.... Arthur/Merlin moment. SQUEEEE!!!! Merlin looks ridiculously happy just from Arthur looking at him. Awww.
42.01 Ok... Arthur you have officially been promoted from prat to clotpole.
42.07 "Clot...pole..." See? Gaius agrees with me!
AND HOLY SMOKES SO MANY HINTS OF THINGS TO COME IN THE NEXT EPISODES!!! I won't even try to comment on them. I don't think I can bear it.
1.14 Shirtless Arthur... squeeeeeee!!

"37.40 Again, Sigan uses Arthur as the final temptation. Slaaaaaaaaaaaash!!"
'Wouldn't you like to see Arthur on his knees?'
Um... ROTFLMAO!!!

Date: 2009-09-20 11:10 pm (UTC)As a funny sidenote, I was watching a few scenes on youtube today from The Sword In The Stone and when I got to the part where cartoon Merlin got his beard stuck in the door, I suddenly envisioned TV Merlin as an old geezer and I could totally see this happening to him! ROFL!!
Also... TV Merlin needs an owl. Badly.
