Ooh, thank you for this! I watched the episode and quite enjoyed it - but I was suprised to see all the hate for it on LJ, when it made sense to me in terms of Merlin's character. TBQH I thought Freya wasn't passive enough - she had been lured and betrayed enough times to know there probably wasn't anyone she could really trust, and involving herself with Merlin is just setting herself up for disaster. But maybe she felt like she could dream there, for just a moment.

What DID annoy me - and suprisingly I don't think I've seen this mentioned - is how Merlin was suddenly all-for freeing magical people etc, after what happened last week. Did he not realise that what he said to Arthur probably only cemented Uther's (and now Arthur's) determination to exterminate his and Freya's kind? For every Freya he can save, there are so many that he can't... I guess I felt like it should have been addressed somehow, the implications of Merlin's lie.

(That scene with Arthur was very sweet - I know the shippers probably had fun with it, but for me it reminded me very much of an older and younger brother.)
