I need to go on a rant about something I just realized

In Merlin, S2E13 The Last Dragonlord, when Balinor agreed to help Arthur and Merlin, WHY didn't he immediately call for Kilgharrah?! We know that after Merlin becomes the last Dragonlord, he can call Kilgharrah no matter how far away he must be. So wouldn't it have made sense to immediately call the dragon to stop him from attacking Camelot AND to avoid making Balinor actually GO to Camelot??? Even if they still went with the bullshit of killing Balinor and blah blah blah, that seems like a stupid plot point!

AND I know I'm realizing this 15 years too late, but I'm mad about it 😤

my headcanon for gwaine finding out about merlin’s magic is that it happens at the same time as for the rest of the knights. like there’s some Catastrophic Event that forces merlin to reveal he has powers and all of the knights are there for it. gwaine included.

the thing about gwaine, however, is that he is the first to notice merlin’s eyes glowing and therefore has 0.1 seconds more than everyone else to process this information. and when he does process what this means and the danger merlin is now in, he doubles down. no ‘oh arthur but he meant no harm :((!!’ no. gwaine uses those extra 0.1 seconds to feel betrayal and outrage and re-direct all of it at arthur.

arthur is like ‘i don’t believe it’ and gwaine is like well tough😤😤 yeah my friend is a sorcerer and so WHAT. no, and so WHAT? is that a CRIME? (‘yes, it is, gwaine’ ‘mind your business leon’) stop staring at him like that. who CARES if he is a mastermind here to end your kingdom?? (‘i’m not’ ‘oh ok cool’) i have considered doing the same myself a few times?? you gonna burn me? stab me right here and now?? come at me, COME AT ME

arthur is not even looking at him, he is having the world’s most intense silent conversation with merlin. by the time arthur decides that okay, we need to have a talk, possibly one of the hardest talks of his life, gwaine has thrown a gauntlet at arthur 3 times (he keeps picking it up and throwing it again)

You know that feeling when a fanfic is way better than the original show/movie/book or has an even better and more developed plot? I mean, yeah, the writers created this wonderful world and characters that I love so much but gave them a miserable ending, but this someone on ao3 said fuck it and rewrote the ending or even the backstory and created something new yet familiar and better than the story it came from and sometimes it's a great story and they have a happy ending and sometimes they have an even more miserable one but it's a work of art and and and

Ok, rewatching Merlin again. Just realizing the reason Arthur felt so betrayed about Merlin not telling him about his magic comes from episode two. In that episode when Merlin is trying to convince Arthur that Sir Valiant is using magic and when Arthur asks him if it’s true, Merlin responds, looking him dead in the eye and says, “I wouldn’t lie to you” and Arthur replies “Then I believe you.”

This was one of, if not Merlin and Arthur’s first real moments of bonding and trust and is clearly something that stuck with Arthur all the way to Camalan
