Thoughts on Merlin Spoilers (under cut)

[happyevraftr]

oh my goodness. *whew* crazy few days!!

Did a whole bunch of homework last night and now I'm almost done! Feel absolutely sick today, but I managed to make it in to work. Hoping I don't stay this sick for the week :(

Spent my lunch break making a new community. No, I don't have time for this, but I don't care! It's ready to go minus the fact I need to make a new header for it cus the current immage doesn't make any sense. I'll make an official post once the banner is done, but it's percivalxelyan . Yes, I'm officially obsessed.

Read the episode synopsis for the last Merlin episodes:


There's a small part of me that doens't even want to watch the end of this season. AT. ALL. I'm already pissed off enough about Lance/Gwen not being end game. They are totally disrespecting Lance fans and Gwen/Lance fans by doing this. BOO! Then the fact that they get ran out of Camelot at all. WTF?!?!!? Arthur is king now...finding out about your magic is better than LETTING HIS KINGDOM GET TAKEN OVER. How does that serve the point of his destiny? Complete writer fail. Perhaps I shall just go with head canon and be done with it. (and of course I can't really go through with that, but I want to)

Exactly! I can only take so much. I have abandoned a show before in its last season and I really don't want to do that....but *cries* *cries some more* please don't do this to us writers ;__________;

What's extra frustrating is that, with these writers, you KNOW it isn't actually a case of 'what will be serious enough', but just 'when do we want to deal with it?". Morgana's life was in danger in S1, but Uther didn't bother to try and use magic to save her until S2. Nor did he suggest it for Arthur in all the times his life was in danger. I fear that when we get the magic reveal, they will just throw it away on something quite minor like a 'plot of the week' when Merlin didn't bother for all the other 'plots of the week' :( I'm hoping I'm wrong on that.

I was saying to a8c-sock the other night that if they mess up the magic reveal, they will have finished undermining ALL the things fandom has been speculating over and writing and vidding about for 4 years. We've already had Morgana's turn to the dark side, Arthur as King, the Lancelot/Gwen romance - all of those things have been robbed of the big epic development we were expecting. The reveal is the only thing left now. PLEASE DON'T MESS IT UP.
