Merlin thoughts
Nov. 29th, 2009 10:02 amWhat is up with Arthur always getting enchanted to fall in love? If it's not him it's his father. Srsly, can't the writers come up with something else? There is such a richness to the Arthurian legend that they could do so much but all they seem to do is have Arthur and/or Uther become enchanted with a LURRVVVEEE spell. Been there, done that have the 6,952 tee-shirts. I'm starting to fear that the crap Robin Hood writers have emigrated over to Merlin now that RH was canceled.
Admittedly, I am Lady Morgana biased and enjoy when they focus on the magic of her and/or Merlin. Come on, BBC. There are only 3 episodes left. Let's have some tension between Morgana and Uther regarding her half sister. Let's have Merlin slip up like he did recently and almost be killed. Let's have Gwen and Morgana have a falling out because she will do anything, even let innocents die, to protect herself from being caught. GR ARG. Let's have Arthur begin to suspect Merlin has magic. Arthur is not stupid and he has the least character growth of them all. True, he's gotten better since the beginning but not as much as the others have grown.
Don't even get me started that they seem to have forgotten completely the Morgana/Arthur dynamics. What? Now that he's in LURVE with Gwen they can't film scenes together? They can't snipe at each other or turn to each other when Uther is an ass? Hell, they didn't even have a can you believe how nuts your father is over troll woman scene. Morgana would totally rub in the fact that he had a troll for a step mother and zip!
