Merlin 5.04 Liveblog




So far I have been a) admiring Arthur in that white shirt, b) bored, c) annoyed with Gaius for ONCE AGAIN ignoring Merlin's valid concerns. Worst. mentor. ever.

I miss the Mithian of her first episode.

I like that, for once, it's obvious that the castle is a huge place that visitors wouldn't be able to easily negotiate.

... do you think the writers don't read one another's scripts? Because that's two times in a row now that Arthur has appealed to Merlin this way. Get a new tactic, Arthur.

Okay, this episode is giving me the absolute shits now. NOT ENTIRELY SURE? MERLIN HAS DISGUISED HIMSELF AS AN OLD MAN TWICE NOW. YOU HELPED HIM.

I like that Gwaine is clearly concerned. Friendship!

Dude, Gwaine was totally going for a hug then, hahaha. And Merlin spurned him to go after Arthur. Poor Gwaine.

I want to play a drinking game based on how many times Morgana gets flung into the air during a series. How she isn't dead yet is an absolute mystery.

You guys, I will never understand people who say Bradley can't act. He's brilliant.

ARTHUR HAS BEEN SO FUCKING KINGLY THIS SERIES, I CAN'T EVEN.

You know what? I still don't get how a show that has such good acting (James Fox!), costuming, directing and set design is so badly, badly written. It makes me weep.
