sarahtales' thoughts on S2 Merlin now. It's best if you're not drinking anything. Sample:
ARTHUR: My new contract states I must be shirtless at least once an episode.
GWEN: Now I am going to be a love interest, I am looking extremely foxy in several new gowns. I am never shirtless, because this is the BBC.
MERLIN: Nobody fed me over the summer, and I am feeling weak.
MORGANA: Nobody gave me any lines for the upcoming season, and I am feeling evil.
+ Pride and Prejudice in emoticons.
+ Some of you may have also noted my recent, ahem, enthusiasm for Morgana/Morgause. It's like being back in 2003 once again and discovering that the only way you get to read about the Black Family Drama is by dipping into Blackcest -- only this time, I actually ship it (Gwen/Morgana will always remain the Morgana ship of my heart, but). Like burning. *facepalm*
Let me show you why: spoiler-y picspam for 2.08 | spoiler-y picspam for 2.12 | general women of Merlin picspam
And then you must also watch this vid: Bad Romance, bysuch_heights. Lady Gaga + Morgana/Gwen&Morgana/Morgause = WIN.
I hope people are writing a lot of fic.
+ Meanwhile, I watched Avatar. It's like The Last Samurai. In space. Name a cliche, and it's there: the Good White People, the Bad White People, the Exotic Natives and Their Earth-worshipping Ways, the Trophy Native Woman, the Jealous Native Alpha Male, the Unlikely Native Bro Who Dies a Heroic Death (in this case, the jealous alpha male turns over a new leaf to become the bro)...
These stories no longer surprise me. We write them ourselves, after all - usually from the POV of the Heroic Colonised Man, where the Helpful White Man is the Unlikely Bro (sometimes he even gets a Pretty Brown Girl, though not the Pretty Brown Girl).
It is visually very stunning, though. I might just have to make my mother watch it.
