Season 3 Episode Discussion

[Arthur Pendragon]

OMG! THE SEASON 3 PREMIERE!

First, I have to say that I am starting to really dislike Morgana and her manipulative ways. I don`t like how she`s playing everyone!!! Especially when they were all so happy to see her! I felt SO bad for Uther in that episode! I think they definitely under used Gwen too! I would have loved to see more of her. They should have made her give Arthur the pep talk about how he should be acting King, instead of having Gaius give it to him . . . which brings me to my next question, WILL ARTHUR BE ACTING KING?!? I think that would be SO neat to see how he deals with the responsibilities of the kingdom!! And I have to say that I felt bad for him . . . he had his first official crying scene in 3 years! We have seen all of the other characters cry at some point or another, but this was Arthur's first! WOO! Everyone is emotionally breaking down.

MERLIN! He definitely rocked in this episode! Especially at the end when he called the dragon! FOR ONCE, I am happy to see The Great Dragon! HAHA. Looks like a promising season and next episode looks like its going to have a lot more action! So long as they make Uther sane again, and not under-use Gwen so much!! I AM EXCITED!!

[Guinevère]

AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

BBC! WAY TO UNDER USE GWEN! Blah! I loved Uther mostly in this ep. He was AWESOME! Arthur seemed to be back mocking Merlin mostly; (and not seeking out Gwen!) Morgana played everyone, Merlin was just there.

But I loved the ep! AWESOME EP! I just am bitter there is so little Gwen! GRRRRRR!! I hope there is some Arwen in the next ep, or this will not be a great start to the season! LOL! BBC will get letters from me!!

Thank you so much to Arthur for sending me the link so that I could watch this!

You know, I did not notice that Gwen was not in this one very often. But now you said, I see it is true.

I DID notice how horrible Morgana is so suddenly. And wow she is so good a actor! (her character I mean, is so good at pretending to love everyone when she hates them and is killing them. How did she learn to do that? Even she can cry for pretend! This I admire, even if I think it horrible.)

And MERLIN! What his is problem? He supposed to be the best magician that ever lived and he cannot get himself out of some chains? Hmmm.... but really, I do love Merlin. He is so sweet.

But my most most favorite part was when Arthur Pendragon pretends to be Merlin with a sword! So hard, I laugh so hard!!

And one last comment from me... that little boy all covered in water look SO much like my brother when he was younger!! I was WOW it is Matti all wet!! So funny for me, but probably not interesting for you.

I WANTED TO SEE MORE OF GWEN TOO!!!!

Loved the Arthur and Merlin dynamic (the cloth and bucket, the "fighting like Merlin" [and the revenge!] and the dallophead [and yes, Arthur DOES seem to have a fat backside .]) Poor, poor Uther. Drowning children is unforgivable, but ppppooooooorrrr Uther. [/Internal conflict in an audience member.) Arthur is an awesome fighter an I am uber-impressed with his fighting scenes, as usual and his crying amuses me. Merlin rocked my world. As for Morgana, I've gotta break a trend. She is smokin'. I mean that smirk...now that is sexy.

...Sorry. I think her evil is awesome, though I hope she really does turn back before she offs Uther.

EP 2 HAVE GWEN SCENES!!!

*sighs* Ok, I really liked this ep. I loved Arthur sitting in his dad's chair, and the moment Gwen went into his room to talk to him. I thought it was SO sweet when he said 'you don't have to call me that' or something. And then Leon, Leon, Leon!! I laughed so hard at his so slow motion run, but I loved it at the same time. When he tried to stop the king, I was Ike YEAH LEON! Then Arthur shook his hand before the battle, showing a relationship there.

All in all, just awesome!

*Snuggles Uther tightly* Waaaaah, mean mean mean, leave him alone!!!

I have to watch online, but I manage. I was so hoping he'd yell back to MOrgana, like "yes, I DO understand!" but then she'd have to die, and he'd probably die for killing her. *Smacks Uther* I love him but he is soooo BLIND!!!

I love the irony when Arthur and Merlin are talking and Arthur makes his comment about the future of the kingdom being on him. You just want Merlin to say "Actually, I *DO* know what it's like. I have the same weight on my shoulders!" but of course it'd ruin eveything.

[Arthur Pendragon]

HAHAHAHA I don't think I have laughed so hard at an episode before! That Goblin episode was absolutely RIDICULOUS! SO FREAKING HILARIOUS! From the scene where they were all farting, to when Arthur became a donkey! HAHAAH Man, that was all so funny! It was a great comical episode after all the dramatic ones! I had tears in my eyes cause I was laughing so hard! hahhaha . . . and since there were so many funny scenes, I can't list all of them! But the farting scenes, and the BALD UTHER which was GREAT!! His face was SO funny! And I loved how Merlin could not stop laughing at people! I also thought Morgana's expression was so crazy evil when Merlin got arrested for using magic and was sentenced to death. She just had this glare like "HA!"

. . . The farting scene. That was just so funny and so crazy awkward. Speaking of awkward . . . the scene when Gwen was like petting Arthur when he was a donkey . . . that was so kinky! HAHAHA He was enjoying that WAAAY too much! And their little awkward encounter in the hallway near the end of the episode was great too.

All in all . . . FANTASTIC EPISODE! LOVED IT!

[Guinevère]

SO MUCH GWEN!

I loved how Merlin and Gwen FINALLY have worked together again! They are such a cute couple (best friend wise not more). I was glad to see them doing things together, and that when Merlin needed someone he could trust, he ran to Gwen.

Donkey Arthur was PRICELESS!! I loved Gwen's face! She saw he was a donkey and was like 'It's a goblin!', and Arthur had this 'really' expression! HAHAHHAHA.

HOWEVER; I loved the end scene the best. Where Arthur bets his man one handed and looks up at the other knights and laughs with a donkey laugh and Merlin is like 'One more day!'

Next weeks looks SO GOOD!

Curiosity killed the Merlin before it even saw the cat.

However, it was HILARIOUS. I laughed all the way through. Farting, baldness, boils, spitting, donkey ears/braying and Gauis licking things...all in one episode. SO EPIC.

And I liked the Gwen and Merlin Fight Evil scene too. They should travel to the future and solve crime, 'cause...never mind, there's plenty of crime in Camelot.

What bugs me, is that with each episode Uther gets one more confirmation that magic is evil. Just keep on digging yourself in deeper, Merlin.

MELEE NEXT WEEK, YAY!!!

[Guinevère]

Yes! Merlin we should have crime fighting threads!

[Alistair]

I have a new favorite character on the show. It's Gwaine, the drunken knight. I would insert spoiler here, but I will spare the non-spoiler peeps; and just say that I hope he comes back again and again.

[Guinevère]

OH MY GOSH! YES! I loved him! So funny! Once again, Merlin has buddie-ed up to another 'knight' who has to save Arthur's life by his awesome fighting skills and one who flirts with Gwen. Being we know from the myths that both Gwaine and Lancelot are knights of Arthur's one day round table then we must be seeing a pattern here.

In order to be a knight of the round table you must A) Be banished from Camelot B) Flirt with Gwen C) Buddy up with Merlin D) Save Arthur when no one else can and E) Be AWESOME ((And F) have dark flowing black hair))!!!

I loved how naughty he was! Gwaine was just fun!

GWEN HAS A NEW DRESS!! The pink one has finally peeked it's head out! And in a Gwaine scene of all places!! There was no Arwen in this ep but LOVED the Arthur scene of him watching her at the end! PURE LOVE!

And the preview for next week!! WHO SAW THE ARWEN SCENE THERE?!?!

HAHAHHA NICE little checklist there Guinevère! Though I am not sure I like B) very much. I think that is something that they should stop doing otherwise they won't be on Arthur's good side! The scene at the end was ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS! Poor Arthur; I don`t think he is used to being jealous! Gwaine though is absolutely hilarious and I am definitely looking forward to seeing more of him . . . as long as he stays away from my girl. Speaking of which, what did you mean by THIS:

. . . . . . . . What EXACTLY did you two do?! I saw the way you two were at the end! Should I be worried?!

[Guinevère]

G) They have to get arrested!!

WE did not do anything; he was in Merlin's bed half the time. . . . but on the other hand Gwen was somehow involved in the 'tavern' mayhem.

[Arthur Pendragon]

Makes me wonder what she was doing in a tavern . . . surrounded by drunk men . . .

[Guinevère]

Yes; I was wondering how Gwaine dragged her there as well. Because I can't see her just walking in on her own. HAHAHA
