I have to say, I am loving the darker elements they've been showing in the show so far. Of course I love the banter and the joking, the bits that make you laugh, but I'm an angst girl at heart and the darker elements just pull me in!
LANCELOT! NO! I loved that Merlin had someone who knew about his magic, someone he could confide in and really be himself around. I too was annoyed at the first ep when Arthur didn't seem to care that Merlin fainted or whatev, but I did enjoy the Lancelot running to him. :P
Watching the latest ep I was struck by how much Morgana reminded me of Bellatrix from the Harry Potter movies. I mean, if they ever did anything about the marauders era, she could totally play young Bellatrix. She's beautiful and they're trying to make her look evil, paler skin, darker hair and black dresses. They're kind of overdoing it on the MORGANA IS EVIL!!!!!11!1!!!1 plot.
Old!Merlin makes me laugh so much, the way he was bossing Arthur around, paying him out, and the piggy back ride!! Hahaha, he's so adorable. I figured that Uther would die this season, it seemed inevitable after the end of last season but man, what a way to go. Poor Merlin. All he was trying to do was to get Arthur to see that magic can be used for good and now it's all backfired. He's going to have a hard time convincing Arthur it can be used for good now.
And can I just add, Percival UNF! The way he wears sleeveless chainmail, god damn! That man!
