Hm...well, yeah, I'm gonna have to say I had no idea there was all this shit going round. And now I shall steer clear of the reaction post cause I do not want it to ruin my happiness.
And I am pretty torn over the fanservicing. Cause on one hand...SHIRTLESS!ARTHUR!!! On the other hand, I like Arthur because he's awesome and complex and lovely (yes, ok, I admit it, I'm not just a totally shallow Bradley's-body fangirl!). So yeah... *sigh* I wants my Arthur from season 1 back! I thought maybe in 204 he was coming back a little, but in this one, I feel were back to before the Valiant episode. I mean, Arthur doesn't even think about what Merlin's saying, and he did then!
Ok, rant over.
But, ok, #1...WTF? People are complaining over handfasting because they think Uther's staunchly Christian in show!canon? Um hello? When has Uther even sort of suggested anything about religion? They certainly don't seem to concerned with church or mass or the evilness of magic because of religion! I mean, seriously. Even in legend, it's Arthur who's so strongly Christian. Uther really wasn't so much.
And I guess I lied before. Rant really over now.
Anyway, lovely post, bb. I'll hold said fandom whilst you deliver said slap!
