THIS SHOOOOOW. It's supposed to be all cracky and slashy and delicious, and then every so often it just kind of winds you with the reminder that HEY, REMEMBER HOW NOBODY REALLY GETS A HAPPY ENDING AND EVERYTHING GETS REALLY GREAT AND THEN REALLY SHIT? I love it when that happens, but it hurts so much. AND THAT WAS BASICALLY THE WHOLE OF THIS EPISODE.
THANK YOU, THAT IS EXACTLY HOW I FELT EXCEPT EXPRESSED WITH LESS WORDS. I think I will now always have this tragic fear that all British children's shows will inevitably spring something horrible on you when you're least expecting it (like Doctor Who! Half a season of the Doctor and Rose being cuter than a pair of adorable puppies, and then HELLO THERE GENOCIDE).
... Uther/Morgana. Am I wrong? It feels so very wrong, but also kind of disgustingly awesome.
Uther/Morgana is the TRUTH. The are just so married. Morgana tries to keep Uther from making some of his more terrible parenting decisions! There is illicit eyesex across an extremely long dinner table!
Uther has a subtle punishment for Arthur's finding-based failure, and it is not letting him eat dinner with the grown-ups.
Uther probably sends Arthur off to search for pointless things when he wants some alone time with Morgana. I'M SORRY, MY BRAIN CANNOT BE STOPPED.
COME ON, THOUGH, WHO ELSE WANTED THE 'ARTHUR SEARCHES MORGANA'S CHAMBERS' SCENE TO SOMEHOW END IN HIM FINDING MERLIN BEHIND HER CURTAINS AND GETTING JEALOUS?
...THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN MADE OF SO MUCH WIN. I felt mildly guilty about having the tiny bits of Arthur/Merlin be my favorite parts of the episode since it was so EPIC AND PLOTTY for once, but I cannot hide the rampant shipper that I really am, ALAS.
Edit: OH BRADLEY JAMES AND COLIN MORGAN. YOU ADORABLE THINGS. COME LIVE IN MY BACKYARD, PLZ?
