I sat having a lovely cup of 차 and bouncing my son for a bit before work and having giggle fits with he and my husband and looked at the ipad every now and then and a single sentence caught my eye, as I did my usual morning rounds digitally. This one sentence raised the Witch of Endor who lives just below the surface within and this was the result.

Something had to be said. I am not one of those that sits on one’s hands and bitches for the sake of bitching. If I am going to bitch, I am going to be epic about it. Oh and regret absolutely nothing said, particularly about the CHIMPS that 편집 the show, most of all them. I am sure they are responsible for the EPIC nature of the visual promotion pieces as well.

Apparently Gwen's line were removed 의해 the editors for episode three. Yes, here we go again in favour of oh I don't know 장갑 slapping and spoon fights.

Suffice it to say, this was what I wrote at their site. I didn't even check for syntax because I was livid. Livid. The collective dumbery wouldn't know thought if it bit them on the ass.

~~~

So I just heard that all Guinevere's lines were cut from episode 3 according to Digital Spy. This explains the entirely disjointed feel, re lack of interaction re the King and 퀸 which has been sorely lacking in the first three episodes. So much for continuity and a story growth and character development, so much for pushing a story 앞으로 and interest, threatening each other with gloves and spoons are so much 더 많이 worthy of screen time according to the chimps that are your editors.

WRONG. Some of us actually want a fully rounded story with our action and humour and hijinx.

It is patently obvious your intentions of completely alienating the core fanbase in order to appease a rather loud but exceedingly small niche. Look at your ratings history that says enough. This is actually quite sick. What is the point 당신 are trying to make, when 당신 are not in actuality entertaining 또는 maturing the sub plot? No wonder 당신 win no awards. With your complete lack of continuity, depth of story interest and flat non character development, badly done, completely flat and quite often spurious banter is not character development nor does it show friendship 또는 kinship for that matter.

당신 cannot even give depth of character to a show and fulfill the audience needs for a well-rounded story with logical sequences and as for the incredibly convenient editing which leaves much to be desired that is equally problematic. Sorry but 당신 are killing off 더 많이 fan’s 사랑 of this show. 당신 are losing the people that made this show grow over time and amplify worldwide because 당신 want to feed a sub-segment alone, the ones that don't give a crap about plot 또는 anything else like an actual engrossing story.

The bulk of this audience isn't mindless though 당신 act like it and this has been an extremely disappointing season thus far. 당신 have turned Merlin into an 이모 twit who is not showing his greatness as epic Warlock and the King has 로스트 his testicles entirely and become a whining dolt, who again due to lack of continuity and logic, doesn’t seem to realize who his father is even in Wraith form. How convenient not to remember he tried to kill your wife twice, no, that was 로스트 in memory very much like the ever so loved reset button re Mordred.

As to Arthur, needs to get a pair and I won't even mention the orchestrated and readily apparent, even to die-hard intelligent Merthurs, that 당신 are making sure to kill off Arwen 의해 removing normal interactions and when written 당신 then make sure that they are left on the cutting room floor?

This begs a question. Why is it that 당신 cannot integrate relationship, substantive relationships in this show? Why must it be one 또는 the other, again, look at your ratings, the rare times 당신 have managed this ALL IN THE 상단, 맨 위로 TEN of all time. 당신 learn nothing from this?

Why is it that this show cannot integrate characters fully? Why can 당신 not see the disconnect? Whether 당신 select to believe so 또는 not, AG has a huge fanbase. 당신 are alienating them. Oddly enough, within the AG fanbase Merlin is not hated but adored, not so much with the group 당신 are attempting to appease. This is sad on so many levels that I cannot begin to count. Thus far this season has been a total yawn and I am not and will not be surprised as your ratings continue to slowly inch down. At this rate, 당신 do not merit a season 6.

So this is new fan-fiction I'm trying out for size! Takes place past Season 5, though I've tweeked a few things... they've never announced Arthur's death (he never died, but still missing along with Merlin). Here's Part 1(I know it's short. Just wanted to introduce it) Enjoy, ladies!



It’s been a 월 and Gwen is still insistent on finding Arthur. 일 의해 일 she sends patrols of men to find her husband. Her king. The sun looms further down over Camelot and she just sits alone in her chambers thinking to herself, holding the royal 봉인, 인감 in her hand. Her whole being is numb; it has been ever...

Queen Guinevere,
    I humbly beg your forgiveness for the tardiness of my condolences. I know it has been many months now since your beloved king has passed, and I apologize for not corresponding sooner. Many of Lady Morgana’s Saxons had fled into my kingdom, unfortunately, and I had a bit of a mess of my own to deal with.
    That being said, I know the struggle of ruling a kingdom as a widow queen. I should very much like to pay 당신 a visit in the near future and offer my condolences personally. As allies, we should remember to support...

    “And, finally, we have six men wishing to petition for knighthood,” Leon finishes his report, standing and addressing the round table.
    “Worthy candidates?” Gwen asks, looking up at him.
    “I believe so, my lady,” Leon says, lifting a different parchment and looking at it. “Lord Clifton’s son Devon, Lord Ackerly’s son Lander, Lord Ulmer’s son Hyde, and then Judson the baker’s son, Oakley, who’s mother is, oddly enough, Lord Ackerly’s maid – apparently his father has passed…”

    “That is my decision,” Guinevere states, looking out over the council. There are murmurs of dissent, anger, and disbelief, but she waits patiently until they all die down.
    “My lady, are 당신 certain this is wise?” Lord Chadwick finally speaks up. “After all, magic is what was responsible for the king’s death.”
    Gwen rises from her 좌석 and the council members note for the first time that she does not appear as slender as she normally does and that her dress is 더 많이 flowing around her middle then is...

    Merlin struggled with Arthur’s weight but his determination to get the king to the shores of Avalon was 더 많이 pressing than his concern of the burden. Almost dragging the king now, Merlin reaches the 보트 that will take Arthur to Avalon.

    “What are 당신 doing, young warlock?” Kilgarrah asks, looking at Merlin interestedly.

    “I’m taking Arthur to Avalon, to cure him,” Merlin says amid his struggle. He lays Arthur on the ground and pulls the 보트 closer.

    “But it is not his time, Merlin.”...

    The royal couple makes their way to the balcony overlooking the courtyard, where the citizens of Camelot have gathered to greet their sovereigns.
    “Are 당신 all right?” Arthur asks the quiet Guinevere.
    “Yes. No. I don’t know,” she answers. “Honestly I’m 더 많이 nervous for Merlin.”
    “I’ll be fine, Gwen,” Merlin says from behind them, and they turn to see him standing there in his new robes. They are deep midnight blue with silver accents at the cuffs and neck. He is carrying...

    “Where are we, anyway?” Gwen asks, shifting uncomfortably on her saddle. They had been riding for two hours already, and the 이전 night’s activities are disagreeing with her current mode of transportation.
    “Cornwall. King Marke’s kingdom,” Arthur says, glancing over at her. “Are 당신 all right, Love?”
    “I could use a break, actually,” she says, blushing slightly. Arthur looks a little puzzled, but if his wife wants a break, then a break she shall have.
    “All right....

EllaRose88 gave me the prompt "Truth 또는 Dare." Was up too late (again) last night exorcising this from my head.

    Ding.
    The doors to the lift open late on a Friday, and he steps in, smiling bashfully at the one young lady with which he always hopes to share the small 우주 of the elevator.
    “Evening,” he says quietly.
    “Evening,” she 답변 back, looking shyly down at her shoes.
    God, she looks so cute tonight.
    He’s wearing that cologne again.

One of the waiters who had enough of watching the brutal scene occurring, rushed 앞으로 with a tray and whacked it as hard he could at Joe, who is choking Arthur.
“Arghhh!!” Joe screams and lands to his side, clutching his head.
Another waiter rushes towards Karl and breaks a bottle on his head. Karl releases Gwen, staggers due to the impact of the break and she uses the opportunity to hurry towards Arthur, helping him up. Arthur coughs as blood seeps out freely from his nose.
    “Arthur… Arthur?” Gwen calls in terrified voice. Arthur keeps coughing and...

“Well, I ain’t no gentleman, and 당신 sure as hell ain’t no lady,” U.S. Marshall Arthur Pendragon drawled slowly from his place under a sparse tree, trying to catch a little shade. “If 당신 want a wash in that stream, you’re gonna have to do it with me watchin’ ya.”

Gwen growled quietly in frustration. “A girl can’t get any privacy?”

“Darlin’, 당신 gave up the right to privacy last night when I caught 당신 climbing out of the window to the room I let 당신 have in that inn,” he answered...

    Morgana clears her throat to gain the attention of both Arthur and Gwen. Gwen drops Arthur’s hand and smiles sheepishly at Morgana. Her friend smiles back, in tease.
    “Who is it Guinevere?” Arthur asks, his expression startled. Gwen opens her mouth.
    “It’s me… Morgana,” Morgana says immediately, cutting Gwen first.
    “Ah, Morgana,” Arthur smiles in relief. “I was scared for a while there,” he adds.
    “Whom 당신 expecting?”
    “Merlin,”...

    “Guinevere?” Arthur is both surprised and happy to hear the voice. He didn’t expect to hear it here and so soon. He must be dreaming.
    Gwen looks beyond Arthur at Merlin and the latter just squares his shoulder, urging Gwen to carry on. Gwen looks backs at Arthur. “What are 당신 doing here, Arthur?” she asks calmly, her voice in devoid of any emotion.
    “This is Merlin’s idea… ask him. He said he was taking me shopping,” Arthur replies with a laugh. “By the way, it’s really 당신 isn’t it? I was right...

    Morgana paces the tiled floor of the Emergency Department, tense. Arms carelessly hanging loose 의해 her side, lips mumbling to herself, eyes focused on the floor, she casts a sight of a forlorn figure. Gwen, who sits opposite her, looks worried watching her friend in such a state. She hates herself for what has happened. They wouldn’t be here, Morgana wouldn’t be in trouble, and Arthur wouldn’t have got knocked down if it wasn’t for her. If only she had kept her teasing until they have reached the restaurant. What was she thinking? Why did she do it? Gwen...

Tristan and Isolt's conflict of 사랑 and loyalty is one of the classic tales of Western literature; in the Arthurian tradition, their tragic tragectory rivals and complements that of Lancelot and Guinevere. The basic story is one of mis-directed love: Tristan, the heroic nephew of King Mark of Cornwall, is sent to Ireland to escort the Irish king's daughter, the beautiful Isolt, to Cornwall to become his uncle's bride. In most versions, it is during the return voyage that Tristan and Isolt accidentally consume a 사랑 potion (meant to ensure Isolt's happiness with Mark) together, and fall in...

    Back in the castle, Arthur has pried himself away from Guinevere’s side to attend to his own matters, leaving her alone to get settled in. She has been puttering around the room, putting things away, setting something here, then moving it there.
    The door suddenly opens and Merlin comes striding in, candlestick in hand.
    “Your trinket, my lady,” he teases, presenting it to her across his forearm with a bow. She laughs and says, “Thank you, my lord,” and takes it. She carries it over to the 침대 and places...

Arthur also walks toward the house, but stops in front of Gwen, who is holding his apple. She is still smiling, with a loving glow in her eyes as she watches him approach.

A Servant of Two Masters- Review

OMG!! What can I say? Lucy Watkins needs to write 더 많이 episodes! From the intriguing 제목 to the first trailer we saw last week we knew this was going to be completely amazing, and it was with brilliant 연기 from everyone and hilarious comedy!

Things I LOVED:

•Gwen- c’mon, 당신 knew I was gonna say that! I loved how she and Gaius were like the temporary Camelot Detective Agency while Merlin was being all clumsy badass – and the JUGS!! I laughed so much when she knocked Merlin out twice and his face went all dopey! Plus her scene with about-to-have-a-bath...

    Arthur steps out into the cool morning air. He looks over at his two companions. Merlin is sitting on the edge of the 카트 looking up at the sky and Elyan is lying in the cart, apparently dozing.
    “Guinevere’s sent some breakfast,” Arthur says as he walks over and plunks the basket down 다음 to Elyan’s head, causing him to jump. Merlin laughs, then notices Arthur’s somewhat haunted demeanor.
    “Something wrong?” he asks.
    “Hmm?” replies Arthur, still distracted 의해 recent memories....
