MERLIN 209 - LADY OF THE LAKE PREVIEW
Sounds very interesting to say the least, and it looks like Merlin will need his best friend there for him when it matters the most like it did last episode which in my opinion bought A/M back to season one status.



Episode 9 Press Release


When Merlin discovers the beautiful druid girl Freya trapped in a bounty hunter's cage, he knows he must help her escape, as the magical family drama continues. Gaius warns against getting involved but Merlin refuses to listen.

Merlin harbours Freya in the tunnels beneath Camelot. But with the bounty hunter searching for his missing prize and a ferocious magical beast on the loose, she can't stay hidden long. Merlin's intense new friendship is tested to the limit and he is forced to make some heartbreaking decisions as he battles to keep Freya safe.

i really liked today's episode, but i'm seriously getting annoyed at how merlin and arthur's relationship seems to be going backwards.
i felt so bad for merlin when arthur thanked him afterwards and he got all teary and tried to smile and be cheerful even though he dug himself an even deeper grave.
also, arthur broke my heart. bradley's acting was really good this episode.

Today's episode was so great. I'm still emo over Arthur going backwards regarding his stance on magic.. but the scene between Uther and Arthur was amazing.

OMG!! Today's episode was awesome. I just loved the whole Arthur thing. Bradley has won my heart during those scenes. I felt so bad for arthur, when he found out the truth and how he broke down after the whole uther.

aw, and merlin teary eyes when arthur says that he realizes how dangerous those who practice magic are and thats all thanks him.

Oh my god, today's episode might be my favorite ever. Morgause is AMAZING, and I really hope they'll bring her back soon. (And that she'll have a ton of scenes with Morgana! Sisterly chemistry MY ASS.) The boys got some amazing scenes, and oh my god, the way they handled Arthur finding out about Ygraine. Such a fantastic episode but watching it just totally drained me by the end. And I'm so anxious to see next week! This season's getting better with every episode.

I loved this latest one because the A/M was just out of season one, so hopefully that means the writers are finally realising these two are better off together than apart most of the time, regardless of how you pair or slash them. They just work better together and have great chemistry between them.

I will admit though that the Morgana and Morgause interaction was interesting to say the least and opens up so many ideas and ways they can take both their characters in the future.

Arthur was so hot in tonight's episode. Also Emilia Fox's character was pretty kickass, but LOL at people thinking she's gorgeous. Maybe ten years ago. It sounds awful but every time they had a close-up of her I kept thinking about how haggard she looked in the face:/ Her hair was on point most of the time though.

Wow...I'm embarrassed that all the comments in this post are talking about the episode quality (which was great!) and mine is the most grossly shallow one so far. lol

ia so hard about emilia fox looking so haggard now.
i was watching the coupling episodes she was in last night and she looks so much less haggard.
even when she was in cashback, her face was just a lot...smoother and less stressed looking.

Tonight's episode was so amazing. The scenes between Arthur and Merlin were just wonderful, definitely going back to a Season One feel. And Bradley was so spot on for the confrontation with Uther, is took my breath away.

BUT...(yes, there's a but, there's always a but) I'm getting really tired of them taking one step forward and five steps back. I was so excited when Arhtur made that confession to Merlin that he didn't think magic was all bad, just to have them destroy it again utterly. When will he learn the truth?!?! They can't drag that out forever! *sigh* I just worry that if they don't pick up a season three he'll literally NEVER know the truth.

Also, next week, looks pretty good. BUT (I told you, there's always a but!) why are they trying so damn hard to make this season 'ZOMG WE'RE HETEROSEXUAL DAMN IT!!'? It's like the writers/producers realized that everyone was shipping Merlin/Arthur and freaked because...I don't even know. And this season they're trying their damnedest to make sure we have no reason to ship them. Every episode they're shoving some girl down our throats for one or the other of them. *sigh again* (Although, I do kind love Arthur/Gwen, even if I do know they're ultimately doomed.)

Uh...heh heh. I'll stop talking now.

From what I've heard we're getting a season three, it just hasn't been made official yet. The ratings are good, too, so it would really surprise me if they canceled it. I'm still hoping Arthur will find out this season- maybe in the finale, and that'll be the cliffhanger?

And as for the heterosexuality, well, I ship the boys as much as anyone else does but I love it when Merlin gets to have crushes on girls. He's ridiculously adorable about it! (And I'm definitely shipping Merlin/Morgana too.)

also, while i was watching, it just clicked in my head how tragically this will all end. when arthur was standing there with his back to merlin, all framed in light, after his altercation with uther, it just hit home.
this boy will never be properly happy. and it will always end badly for him.
it made me so sad.

Well it's written as a 'family show' - it's supposed to appeal to all age groups. Some episodes can be quite dark (for instance, The Beginning of the End, To Kill the King, The Witchfinder, and tonight's episode) but others are definitely aimed more at the kids.

The episode was awesome until the end with the reset and Merlin and Gauis laughing like it's all good - what the?

And this wasn't some normal reset where someone's enchanted and acts dumb and the succession of events is confined to a one-shot episode that the audience never has to think about again. This had huge repercussions. Merlin is even further alienated, Arthur even more in the dark, more people get killed because Uther's an irrational nutter, etc etc.

I mean, yippeedoo for the shippers and shit, I loved the campfire scene as well, but right now Arthur and Merlin's friendship is just lie after lie after lie because the writers refuse to move them out of this "KEEP THE SECRET" stasis.

I admit that the episode was sort of back to season one A/M interaction but I also agree with you that as long as Arthur does not know about Merlin being magical and especially after what he does with Arthur in the last five minutes of Sins Of The Father, then there will always be a kind of wedge between them that has sort of been there from the start.

Like a lot of fans, it seems we are getting two steps forward yet ten steps back with every episode this season with little or no continual theme or thread running between the shows, at least nothing of a truly epic nature.

It was kind of a throw away line but it was really a juicy teaser I think to what we can expect in season three which hopefully means a major focus on Merlin and his journey into the deeper realms of magic, what and who he is and where he came from, his mother and father and of coarse the growing in power of Morgana.

Loved this episode, definitely fit better with what went down late Season 1. "The Sins of the Father" would have been a fantastic finale, I wonder if the shit's going to hit the fan in ep 26 (Slash Dragon prison break?). Also wondering how Freya's going to end up as the Lady of the Lake, if at all?
Wikipedia says Mordred is supposed to be back for the 11th episode (of course with no source)? The season needs more Morgana not being weepy/distressed.

Regarding Arthur turning his back on magic, it makes perfect sense. I mean he though Morgause lied to him about hid mother (who he loved very much)and tried to get him to kill his father.

Obviously he would turn his back on it. For the time being at least.

I get the feeling though that Arthur is more willing to accept magic if it came from merlin still and not anyone else, as Merlin is more subtle and encouraging rather than forcing it on him. Plus, if this episode proved anything at all is that merlin can get through to Arthur when he really needs to and make him believe what he wants him to.
