merlin: the labyrinth of gedref

[bedlamsbard]

Aw, and we had such high hopes for the virginity thing too!

Yes, apparently all countries have well-maintained hedge labyrinths sitting around, didn't you know?

Dude, did they really just say, "He couldn't let you die. Now you know what's really in his heart!"? Or did I miss a line?

No, seriously, got even slashier.

Also, I was distracted by the shield with the LION OF NARNIA on it hanging on the wall in Arthur's chambers. Someone tell me I did hallucinate the friggin' lion of Narnia! Because that was the dragon of Camelot; that has wings, we see it all the time. lassiterfics, Peter left souvenirs when he came to Camelot!

ARTHUR. SO ENDLESSLY SELF-SACRIFICING.

No, seriously, really distracted by the lion of Narnia.

It was not an hallucination. I did wonder where Arthur got a Narnian shield from!

I love Arthur, so practical. "What kind of ridiculous test is that, what does that prove?" Next thing you know someone will be wanting him to pull a sword out of a stone. "Don't be stupid Merlin, it's stuck in a rock. Besides I've already got a sword."

"You know me Merlin, I never listen to you." His expression, so poignant, such fabulous delivery. From most of the cast in fact.

I still maintain there's a BBC joke about seeing just how slashy you can get at peak family viewing time.

I got so hunt up on the Narnian shield. Clearly it was a present from Peter when the Narnian embassy came to Camelot.

They are just -- fabulous. (Except seriously, labyrinths just randomly sitting around? And for the first time we saw the sea!)

Oh yes, in the UK everyone has a maze - you're no one if you don't have a maze. *grins*

OH BED, THIS SHOW CONTINUES TO VALIDATE MY EXISTENCE IN EVERY WAY


gaius, making tea out of MERLIN'S BATHWATER DDDD-:, continues to take TOP PRIZE for SKETCHIEST PERSON IN CAMELOT

also i guess not we can add harry potter to the list of scifi/fantasy franchises that merlin parallels

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

lion of narnia. LION OF NARNIA.

i am hung up on this point.

compared to merlin, who makes rat stew.

this show has reached WHOLE NEW HEIGHTS. so much arthur and merlin!

uther, though, kind of sketchy. cares for his family and his pride, not so much for his people.

[lassiterfics.livejournal.com]

rat is actually a meat! rats are food to some. BATHWATER, however, that's not meant to be eaten.

this show just INSISTS on being so GAY and SPARKLY and DAZZLING BEDLAM EVERYTIME THEY MENTIONED THE UNICORN I WANTED TO LOL SO BAD

hey hey remember when the keeper of the unicorn is a CRUSTY OLD MAN?? interesting shooting decision to focus on his face for a few seconds while arthur and merlin argue over the poisoned cups, 'cos he may try to look inscrutable, but i bet that entire scene he was just thinking, "god, what a couple of dumbos."

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

and then they give the rat to morgana! what a couple of gentlemen. *rolls eyes*

but how can the unicorn see with its hair in its face!

merlin fell for the "hey, look over there" trick! OH ARTHUR.

[lassiterfics.livejournal.com]

IT IS LIKE every episode exists only to display to us yet another person who ships merlin/arthur and FORCES THEM TO GO ON A DATE at the seaside. so we all KNOW WHAT IS IN ARTHUR'S HEART. SHOW, WHY SO RIDICULOUS?!

ALSO I CANNOT GET OVER arthur making merlin eat rats and bending over him and talking in that SEX VOICE and then he PUSHED THE SPOON INTO MERLIN'S MOUTH and i was all shafdljg;lkfd;lkg;fdkgfdkgf OMG SCENES ABOUT EATING RATS SHOULD NOT BE SO SEXY. um. dude, if you listen to that scene without the video, the dialogue is just... omg.
"sit. mmmmm. mmhmm."
[with a mouth full of SOMETHING:] "mmm. it's actually pretty tasty.
"well, glad you like it, 'cos there's plenty more."
and just.
i mean.
ahldfk;sgltekogekr,fld

pushingthespoonintomerlin'smouth OMG

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

OH I KNOW. hell, even if you don't know the context, still. i just!

and morgana's face when she walked in was pretty much "!" SORRY TO INTERRUPT BOYS.

there are going to be ten million icons from this ep.

[lassiterfics.livejournal.com]

ooh. what about a fic where one takes the rat stew dialogue, but changes the, um, narration? you know. to HOMOSEXUAL PORN.

next week's episode looks CRAZY. uther killage and morgana/gwen!

word to the labyrinth, and how when the keeper is like, "arthur must go to the labyrinth of gefrejwifd," and it's like no one even has to ask where it is. like everyone totally knows about it and is cool with it. probably teenagers go there to make-out or whatever.

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

really, one must wonder what morgana was thinking when she overheard that. probably, "i wonder if they'll notice if i open the door and...watch."

and it is a well-maintained labyrinth! the walks have been swept! the hedges have been cut! and there is a table set for two by the seashore.

[lassiterfics.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHA. morgana, girlfriend, you know that when you asked for food, you actually meant TO JOIN IN.

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

AND THEN THE SCENE CUT AWAY. hmm.

[lassiterfics.livejournal.com]

congratulations, bbc writers, on writing the most sexually charged scene about EATING RATS ever. there are some sick minds on your team, and i would like to befriend ALL OF THEM. especially as i am convinced that a good chunk of them are into fic.

could be worse. could be cannibalism.
