Merlin series 3

CaptainWacky

I want to smell dark matter
Starts tonight. It's usually watchable!
 
I'm sure it'll be entertaining, but if it was on a little later we could play the Merlin Drinking Game.

Take a sip everytime:

Uther invites a complete stranger into the castle.
Merlin suspects someone of using sorcery.
Arthur takes his shirt off.
Arthur calls Merlin a "fucking jug-eared bell-end".
In an exciting development, Arthur fights a monster, but you mostly just see him jabbing his sword at something off-camera.
Gaius determines that the only explanation for odd goings-on in the castle is indeed sorcery.
Uther balks at the idea of sorcery being used in his kingdom.
Take a double shot if Uther says something along the lines of "Nonsense! Sorcery has been outlawed!"
Someone makes a prophetic reference to Arthur being a better king than Uther has been.
Merlin secretly saves Uther or Arthur, who then go on to physically or verbally abuse him.
Morgana stares blankly, yet sexily out of a window.
Every single knight is killed.
Merlin and Arthur have a really blatant homoerotic moment which is completely denied when someone at a convention dressed as a giant cat asks questions about it later in the year.
 
AH PHEW I thought I'd missed it.


I hope Morgana and her pale breasts are in it!
 
Holy shit that was actually... good! REALLY good!


Firstly: Evil Morgana. EVIL MORGANA. I FUCKING LOVED EVIL MORGANA. Every time she'd turn to the camera and did an evil smile I LOVED HER MORE. Jesus Christ she should be in every episode because she's the best thing on the show.

ALSO: The build up to next week's episode. ASSHOLE DRAGON to the rescue, huge battle on the way, EVIL MORGANA, Tony Head being crazy. IT WAS GOOD.


I want to live in Morgana's hair and spend all day looking at her bosom.
 
lol so dunklr ;)

So everything we thought would happen, happened, but it was pretty darn good. Very well directed and I like that they're opening with a two-parter that doesn't have a stupid troll that has a bed made of shit. The baddy king was played by that bloke who was meant to marry Martha Jones.
 
PUT YOUR SLASH GOGGLES ON.

But RTD decided that the two black characters should get married so that he didn't have to write two scenes.

YES, that was pretty damn good. While it did tick some of the things on Fuddlemiff's list (Merlin and Arthur literally talked about each other's bum) it managed not to follow the Merlin formula completely. Morgana really is completely EVIL now (BUT UTHER IS TOO REMEMBER) and set a world record for EVIL SMILES. Seriously, she's lucky no one caught her out. The bit with Uther and the drowned boy was quite creepy and I'm glad they didn't have Merlin still trapped as a cliffhanger and instead had the Asshole Dragon (or is he the AWESOME DRAGON) rescue him in this episode. I hope they keep the evil king alive as a recurring villain too but that might be asking too much.

Only complaint was Gaius leaving the wounded knight alone with a bottle of POISON in the room when he knew there was a traitor in Camelot.

Those ears... those ears...
 
Gives you something to hold onto!

(I can't believe I posted that.)
 





 
:twisted:


Uther invites a complete stranger into the castle.
Uther didn't invite a stranger in, but he did welcome back Morgana after she'd disappeared for a year with his greatest enemy. So.

Merlin suspects someone of using sorcery.
Well he knew Morgana was a sorceress anyway, but yes.

Arthur takes his shirt off.
And he kept it off for probably the longest amount of time so far.


Arthur calls Merlin a "fucking jug-eared bell-end".
I think "big girl's petticoat" is the tea time version.

In an exciting development, Arthur fights a monster, but you mostly just see him jabbing his sword at something off-camera.
Nope.

Gaius determines that the only explanation for odd goings-on in the castle is indeed sorcery.
Nope.

Uther balks at the idea of sorcery being used in his kingdom.
For the first time ever. Nope.

Someone makes a prophetic reference to Arthur being a better king than Uther has been.
Yep.

Merlin secretly saves Uther or Arthur, who then go on to physically or verbally abuse him.
Saves Arthur = bucket on head. *hic*

Morgana stares blankly, yet sexily out of a window.
She did a fuckload of staring. Every bit of it was sexy.

Every single knight is killed.
The first shot was of about 20 dead knights. Close enough! *swig*

Merlin and Arthur have a really blatant homoerotic moment which is completely denied when someone at a convention dressed as a giant cat asks questions about it later in the year.
Yes. Arthur took his shirt off and gave Merlin a big wet one right in the face. And they mentioned eachother's bums. That's like half a bottle right there. lolzzzzzzzzzzz so dunks
 
SEMI-OBSCURE QUESTION: Was Sir Will (the knight with the beard, I think that's his name) not killed by the dragon in last season's finale? Because he was back alive this week...
 
Okay, apparently his name is Sir Leon and he was only injured and I can't believe someone made a Merlin wiki.

http://merlin.wikia.com/wiki/Sir_Leon
 
That's probably one of those ones made by the production company. Even the most obscure tv show with no fans has a wiki these days.

It does show how Colin Morgan's hair should be done though.

Covering up those ears. Aww.
 
Kilgharrah has yellow eyes, and they look exactly like the eyes of a sorcerer when they are using magic. This could be because he is a creature of magic.
 
Even the "Metro" (UK free newspaper) picked up on the homo erotic nature of the script.

He really needs to tone it down a little.
 
I liked when the evil king said he doesn't "think with his sword". INNUENDO.
 
You know who gives really good evil looks?

Georgina Sparks.
 
There's literally no way I can disagree with you
 
In yesterday's Gossip Girl, Georgina:
Glowers evilly at Vanessa
Intercepts voice mail messages
Deals with the Ukrainian Mafia
Destroys Dan's relationship with his dad
Abandons a child

It rules.
