Ellwood smiled, and a sudden, dry bleakness spread over Gaunt's heart as he thought of Hercules, and Hector, and all the heroes in myth who found happiness briefly, only for it not to be the end of the story.

The imposition of silence on oneself may be a good; the imposition of it on anyone else is always an evil.

Before this war actually begins, I’m asking where it actually began. Will you tell me? You asked me once what I would do, what I would sacrifice if it meant having Thomas back again. I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done.

The thing that struck me when I watched Percy Jackson 1x08 was that the exec producers, Dan Shotz and Jon Steinberg, wisely borrowed from their own playbook when writing the episode.

Basing the episode around a previous training interaction between Luke and Percy, before the latter left camp on his quest, is the same narrative device Shotz and Steinberg used in Black Sails 4x09 (arguably one of the best written episodes in any show I've seen) in which the events of the episode are based around a conversation between Flint and Silver that occurred as they trianed together prior to the assault on Nassau.

In these episodes, both pairs of characters sharing a moment of instruction and understanding before one/both of them depart on a mission which will result in their relationship being irrevocably changed.

You know what they say - if it ain't broke...

Arthur and Merlin spend the night strolling around the castle together, engaging in horseplay, whilst trying to track down the spirit of Arthur's father - who winds up strongly disapproving of their relationship.

merlin episodes summarised in the gayest possible way:

arthur disobeys uther and risks his life to get merlin a really rare flower

merlin and arthur spend several minutes arguing over who will die for the other (this one actually happens several times)

some guy tries to take over merlin's job, merlin only realises he's possessed by the spirit of a dead sorcerer because he's too obsessed and jealous of how much arthur seems to like him

merlin gets really jealous around arthur's new girlfriend, desperate to sabotage their date

arthur is completely oblivious to the fact his own wife is enchanted, but notices and gets really worried when merlin doesn't smile for two days
