Merlin 2X11.

I'm surprisingly unmoved by this episode. But here are the highlights for me.

- I totally shipped Alvar/Morgana from their first scene together, and my heart broke a little over how much af a cheating bastard he was.
- I love being a slash fangirl when I spend half of an episode angsting over how mean Arthur is, only to have it all made better by him LYING TO HIS FATHER TO PROTECT MERLIN!!! (Oh and, if Arthur doesn't know Merlin is magic yet, I'd wager he's EXTREMELY dim. Why else would he be so pissed at Merlin for not preventing the theft or not knowing the way?)
- I think the dragon is getting cave fever or something. One moment it wants to kill everyone, and the next it wants to keep a few people alive because of some destiny? Oh and there seems to be a little hysterical laughing every time Merlin shows up.
- Arthur thinking Morgana was worried about him. Aaawwwwwwwww. Totally sibling love. Oddly though, I don't find myself shipping it. Am I ill?
- Gaius was awesome this episode. *huggles him*
- Is it just me, or are they making Merlin cry practically every episode right now? I mean, even when he's having himself a nice little smooch he is totally weeping. Maybe Arthur is right... maybe Merlin is a little bit of a girl.
- Uther was deliciously evil this episode. Mwahaha. I love it when he plays up his monster side.
- Morgana disowning Uther. Phew! Intense!

All in all, a pretty damn epic episode, and I blame my emotionally fucked up mind for not really feeling what should have been a rollercoaster of intense moments!

You know, I just wrote my review and then looked at my flist and saw yours and before I clicked on the cut I was already grinning. We're both emotionally fucked up and I'm stoned like you wouldn't believe from the new meds. So I was unimpressed, too, and still thought it was awesome.
Reading your review, I remembered. I wanted to mention Gaius, too, because for once he was saying the right things. :)

Misery loves company. And I might just take one of my own big pills. I'm sick of my head right now. I'm not supposed to take them while I'm in therapy, but I'm really not giving a fuck right now.

Yup. Just 1 leaves me pretty well zonked out. Didn't take one, though. Ended up going to bed instead, and I did manage some sleep. Thank god.

Oh, that's great!
LOL, a few years ago, one knocked me out for one day. These days, I need two to be completely stoned. I still am, btw. My doc always pets my head when I angst about getting dependent. He told me there are people who take over 20 per day. O.o I would be dead then. :)
