Merlin 2x01

[themadpoker]

1. When did Arthur get so dim? Wouldn't creepy creepster Cedric logically been the first guy to suspect when the tomb was raided? I mean they all made such a point of the fact that no one else had access to the keys, so I thought that really should've been his first thought.

2. Arthur and Merlin, I thought you were friends! D= Apparently I'm the only one who reacted to the horse climbing scene with 'WHAT WHAT, that is ridiculously demeaning, why on Earth would you do that. Episode 1 Arthur, I have NOT missed you, what are you doing here?'

3. Merlin was not really at his brightest here either. I mean all he needed to point out was that Cedric was the only one with access to the keys, he could've easily left out all the sorcery business. Arthur would've been much more likely to believe him then.

4. Colin Morgan looks REALLY good in blue. =D Seriously, I think he should ditch all his red outfits and stick to that colour.

5. On that note, everybody got really pretty over the summer! I mean Morgana's always been stunning but when Gwen showed up I was like 'OMG Gwen! You are looking lovely, I don't know what they have been putting in your water but I approve!' And Merlin was looking ridiculously pretty but I've always been of that opinion so I don't know if that's anything new. These new developments have put Arthur in the position of being the least attractive main character in Camelot (IMHO, YMMV) which should tell you just how high the bar's been set.

6. Arthur/Gwen is going to happen! =DDDD This is utterly excellent. I actually didn't like the scene in the courtyard that much, too typical rom com for me, but I am looking forward to the development of this for the rest of the season.

7. Who is the girl Merlin's kissing in the season preview? Initially I thought it might be Morgana and did a little dance of joy (you've seen Episode 8 right? Also known as The One Where Our Two Dark Haired Magical Persons Display Their Potential For Best Coupledom in the Series?) but I rewinded and checked it more times then I'm willing to admit to and sadly I don't think it's her. =(

8. Hey, what happened to the 'I have now gained the magical power over life and death' boost from the last episode? I thought that would be one of the things we'd get to see played out season 2.

9. Other things I'm really hoping to see, someone please explain to Morgana what's going on with her visions? Preferably Merlin so I can have more scenes with the two of them but I don't mind if it's Gaius. Clearly her visions are making her miserable and this sleeping potion business is not helping.

10. "Everything I do is for him, and he just thinks I'm an idiot." Huh. No comment. I'm sure the rest of the Internet is already on that.
