AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!


Ok, who else apart from me feels stupid over the massive freak out? LOL!

Egads that was an emotional journey. When I thought Hunith was going to die I didn't really care (does that make me a bad person?) but then Gaius went off to sacrifice himself and I wibbled. But it all worked out in the end

Yes, I did cry when Merlin went to say goodbye to Arthur and they went back over their first conversation in the first episode.

The Arthur/Gwen scenes grated a bit but I can see what they're trying to do...

Morgana was a bit of a waste of time in this episode. LOL.

Loved poor Uther all grief-stricken :(

Angry!Merlin is totally made of win! I was kind of hoping to draw out the whole plot with Nimue but I can see why they ended it since they didn't know there was going to be series 2.

I wonder what's going to happen to the slash dragon now Merlin isn't his friend. I still can't believe he tried to fry Merlin!!

Still, no one major died so I am happy! And there was no cliffhanger! Huzzah!

No, it doesn't. Not at all. I was the same, a little relieved actually, when I thought that someone else might die rather than Gaius.

I bawled like a baby, for about 20 of the 45 minutes. The other 25 were spent flailing, screaming, and just generally squeeing. This episode was awesome.

Oh my life, i made some noises i'm really not proud of during that episode...in fact, noises i wasn't even sure i could make.

There was epic flailing going on in my room, seriously.

Series 2 is going to take over my life.

*does the dance of the Seer*

I so called the Questing Beast! :D

Also, on a non-ego related note? Everybody lived! Hoorah! I was absolutely convinced they were going to kill off Gaius - I kept expecting him to suddenly drop at any moment, so consider me very relieved.

Loved this, but man, Nimeuh's lines are nothing but cliches 'I thought we could rule the world together' and so on.... Blech.

Oh, and Gwen was lovely and adorable and they are so trying to backpedal and plant the seeds of Gwen/Arthur now aren't they? Hee!

Hee!!! Yes, I was expecting Gaius to die too, and I suppose he did for a little bit

It was good though. I am happy.

I do not feel silly over massive freak out because my excitement was totally justified!!!
MAJOR, MAJOR squeeage here!
Totally sobbed like a child through most of it. Was such a sobby wreck that by the time Hunith turned up I barely had any more tears left. They came back when Gaius toddled off to sacrifice himself though.
Slash Dragon = selfish so and so (I totally called that) and will not be able to see the fruits of his labours as Merlin hates him. Meanie dragon.
Angry!Merlin rocks.

And to hark back to an earlier conversation, ordered brother to order and take care of pizza which arrived as the credits rolled. Woohoo!

I hugged my housemate for ordering the pizza so that it arrived just before Merlin started. She is awesome and indulges my fannish obsessions

You can never tell with our Pizza People. They arrive when they feel like.
No spacesuits in this - but less clothes for Arthur (maybe I DO have some influence after all!?!?!)

i agree completely about the Arthur/gwen scenes and Morgana. I also did wibble when Gaius went off. I liked Uther in the ep.

Arthur... didnt really do much for me in this ep...

I loved the bit at the end when Merlin got rid of Nimeuh and then the whole Guaius and Merlin in the rain bit was lovely.

A good ep, but seemed quite short to me I think, like they were tryin to get so much into the episode... still good though :-)

Actually to be fair, the plot of the episode rendered Bedivere irrelevant, with Nimueh dead, who's he going to return Excalibur to when Arthur dies?

Kudos on the number of comments in such a short period of time, btw
