Oh god, I could go on and on about how fabulous an actor Colin is. *gushes* He's just amazing, totally turning that display of idiocy into something that you could really, really pity Merlin for. :'( Poor guy.
I think you're probably right, things always have to be made simply for children. If nothing else, it's great for the fanficers to sink their teeth into them and make up what we like. XDD;
LOL I know, it's kind of cute though. I love that Lancelot will always be regarded as the 'tagged on' Gary Stu of everything, since he is meant to be the description of perfect. [minus the affair, of course]. I'm kind of interested as to how they are going to roll with that this time round, but I know what you mean. Wouldn't it be great if they actually dissolved that Gary Stu version of Lancelot, only to have to build it back up again [like they need to with Arthur]? It would make for a real interesting story, if nothing else. *getting fanfic ideas~*
Ahh yes, I was kinda of -.O wtf when Morgana admitted that the nightmares had gotten worse. I mean, if you're trying to protect a friend, why are you just announcing his guilt right there? Though you're right, I think the obvious relief was for children, so that they knew she was really worried about herself. Not that I think it was all that necessary, honestly, kids are pretty quick on the uptake. I don't think it's necessary to feed them all this like they're morons. But whatev's, I don't create the show.
Well I really do hope that they go into the Uther/Gaius/Aredian backstory a bit more later on. I bet it could be really interesting. Though I suspect it could just be lazy writing, and instead of actually explaining it themselves, they're just going to let everyone else make up their own theories. >_>;
I KNOW. Oh my god, I have been waiting for someone to rip Uther a new one since like, the first episode in season 1. About bloody time, for certain. LOL I giggle at your love of Uther though (to be honest I can't help but feel a little sorry for him. After 2x06, he's definitely become a favourite character XDD). I can't wait to read your fic, btw. Now that I'm back at home and not travelling around all over the shot, I'll actually have time to read it! ^^;;
