3.11 Recipe for Murder

Rewatching some Star Trek: Enterprise

3x11 - Carpenter Street

Another timey-wimey episode that focuses on Archer and T’Pol. This episode might not be as good as “Twilight,” but it’s definitely more fun to watch. They travel back to 2004 Detroit, just the two of them. There’s nothing overtly romantic, but it’s always fun to see their dynamic in isolation. I love time travel plots generally too, so I’m always up for an episode like this.

The opening scene is great. It starts in present day, on a road with contemporary cars. Because we watch so many other shows that have scenes like this, it takes the audience a moment to remember that this sort of scene is unusual for Star Trek. Loomis, played by Leland Orser, could be a character out of CSI or SVU. When he is surveilling the prostitutes, he could be a serial killer. When he chooses one, there’s such a sense of dread. The full reveal of the plan and his time-traveling, extraterrestrial masters is unsettling and creepy. Orser puts in a great performance, reminiscent of his lust character in Se7en.

This episode also is the return of the Temporal Cold War, which I always enjoyed. I even enjoy Daniels. The Temporal Cold war should have been given more episodes to fully engage with it and explain it. The biggest issue in this scene is the continuity snarl that resulted from the huge changes to the show demanded by the network.

Daniels sounds like the writers pleading for help.

Daniels: None of this was supposed to happen!

After a visit from Daniels, Archer heads to T’Pol’s quarters for a meeting. Archer can only take one person with him, and he chooses T’Pol.  

Archer: I think all your doubts about time travel are about to go out the window.

Conveniently this is not a night when Trip is there getting an intimate rubdown, which allows the writers to literally never have Archer confront onscreen the brewing romance between his closest confidantes.

Porthos quickly invites himself into T’Pols’ room and makes himself comfy.

We get more of T’Pol out of her uniform, this time in a trench coat. Love her idea of clothes that “won’t stand out,” but Jolene Blalock will stand out anytime, anywhere, and in anything!

The moment they walk into 2004 from Enterprise is hysterical. T’Pol’s continued skepticism in the face of actually traveling years and light years is adorable.

I can’t express how much I love these two bombing around the early 2000s, nor how much more I wish we could have had. 

The scene of them looking for a car to steal is another funny one. First they have to pass on all the ones that have “a motion-activated security system.” When Archer finally finds one without that, T’Pol sees the boot that has been put on the car for parking violations. Then a guard dog!

Finally Archer and T’Pol can steal a car, but then they have to muddle through learning how to drive. And deal with early 2000s radio. Eventually they go looking for their guy.

T’Pol: Turn starboard on 24th street.”

Our duo has to learn about gas... and money. They break into an ATM.

Archer: People used to go to jail for this.

Message! Oh, and set the date for when humans start to wake up.

T’Pol: Were they aware at this time that Earth’s supply of fossil fuels was nearing depletion?” Archer: They had been for 30 years… but it wasn’t until 2061 that they finally-“

Archer and T’Pol find the Xindi life signs and the site of the Xindi experiments. They see Loomis bringing the next victim, then follow him back to his apartment. He runs when Archer knocks, and T’Pol has to give him a neck pinch. 

T’Pol seems to have a real distaste for Loomis. Which makes sense, since he’s a sleazy little lecher.

Archer volunteers himself as the next victim, to T’Pol’s seeming alarm.

They take the guy to a fast food place and we have a drive-thru scene. It’s glorious. The bewilderment on Archer’s face, and the pure judgement on T’Pol’s as they deal with Loomis’ eating habits and the constant upselling from the clerk. And the next scene when Loomis is chomping down on the burger, bits of it flying onto T’Pol… whew.  His life was in danger!

Archer gets a giant needle in the freaking neck! In his jugular? And he has to take it without flinching.

The horror on T’Pol’s face when Loomis starts smoking! The trope of having to deal with the primitive humans from the 20th/21st century is a fave.

The episode has a nice resolution where they manage to take out the Reptilians, stop the bioweapon they’re constructing, and even get Loomis’ disgusting self some punishment. But really it’s the journey that matters.

We get a nice tag where we learn that the entire trip was instantaneous for those on Enterprise. Trip thinks they just left when they’re returning.

Loomis: Those creatures! The lizard people, they’re around here somewhere, you’ve gotta find them! Be careful, they’ve got ray guns.

I love Brass so fuckign much.

Anyway, it’s Season 3, babey! Greg has finally made the creds, with Doc Robbins coming along as well—good job honeys, make me proud. Day shift supervisor & enemy Conrad Ecklie does not appear in this whole season, but VIOLA DAVIS and MAHERSHALA ALI do, setting my current number at 2 for eventual Oscar winners hired for unnamed bit parts in CBS’s CSI. Meanwhile the cast of Lost is now tied with Desperate Housewives with 3 actor crossovers each, and though I did enjoy seeing folks like Eleanor’s mom from The Good Place or the dad from Even Stevens or that one actor from my rural hometown whose name even I don’t know, I think my personal favorite was lovely human special effect Doug Jones showing up in the season premier as simply an extraordinarily lanky poker player with one line.

Recurring asshat Hodges is finally introduced this season as well, first appearing in 3x11 and then not for a second time until 3x17. By just his third appearance in 3x19 everyone already openly hates him for always being so rude, as Sara puts it—“Curt,” Hodges corrects her—and by the time it seems he might have blown up Greg in the season’s penultimate episode, the whole squad is absolutely ready to FedEx him back to the LA lab. However, Hodges was of course not the one responsible for the lab explosion.

Nope, that was in fact CATHERINE, rather an intense end to another season of her and Greg playacting as if they have an open-secret affair, a vibe I still love so much. Literally just discussing processing an old DNA sample: “Age is irrelevant in our relationship.” / “Maybe so. But let’s face it Greg, you just don’t have the equipment.”

But I believe in my soul that after their fade-to-black heart-to-heart in Greg’s hospital room, these two…

will recover no problem. Especially since as soon as he’s back in the lab Greg is quietly processing sensitive DNA comparisons for her off the record. Man I really did not expect I’d get so invested in Greg & Catherine rewatching this show, but hey here we are!

I also continue to wonder about whether the SHOW expected to get so invested in Greg Sanders period. He’s a total outlier character as he’s the only one whose function changed over the first half dozen seasons. When CSI begins, Greg’s job, in a storytelling sense, is to provide horny DNA exposition and bother people. And he’s very good at his job. But after what I suspect was an accident in season 1, and then an experiment inspired by it in season 2, in season 3 they clearly decided to Just Dew It, and right from the jump begin to actively convert him into being a more put-upon figure instead of the one putting it on. It makes sense internally as a journey for the character, and from a production standpoint his growing up arc is always able to be assuredly moved along by what they discovered in that one unusual scene with an angry Grissom late in the first season, and confirmed with a literal field test in the second: putting Greg in a scary situation pays really interesting dividends. And not just for Greg, but the characters around him as well, and that’s REALLY valuable for writing. Particularly affected by changes in Greg are Grissom, Sara, and Nick, and that’s a big swath of the key cast right there. Oh and also: the audience. It’s GREAT fun or GREAT drama, depending on how far you take it, to put the comic relief through the wringer.

So that’s what they do in season 3, promoting Eric Szmanda to main cast and proceeding to take Greg from a shameless, cocky goofball to a tired, stir-crazy literal lab rat, from the beginning of the season with the hilarious HR nightmare where Grissom cracks the case by unconsentedly infecting Greg’s foot with a mildew-induced foot rash that only affects Norwegians (an episode I found I had a practically photographic memory of because the whole THING is that nutty), to being blown up in fucking lab explosion at the end, leaving his hands shaking on his print-outs. And throughout his trials both funny and traumatic, he still continues to try to avail himself to the CSIs to do more for their cases than just analysis work. Professional Model Greg. He would like to connect with you on LinkedIn. (Where he will then immediately send you a work-inappropriate meme.)

Catherine, eyeballing him in 3x21: “You being cagey?” Greg, wearing an actually well-fit striped button-down coordinated to the blue of his lab coat: “:) Trying to transition out of cagey.”

Godspeed You! Young Sanders

Continued Nickname Date: We get just a couple Nicky’s this season, still only from Catherine and Grissom and only in the first handful of episodes. We get one more G from Nick, and one Greggy from Catherine—surely a one-time thing. Warrick has gone from the #1 user of Greggo to most commonly referring to him in conversation as Sanders, which on him feels like an increase of respect. Warrick also takes to using Cath, particularly during and after the episode where she gets attacked at a scene and he elects himself her steady, emotionally checked-in protector (we loove it, we loove them). Grissom calls her Cath once too, and Sara even calls her Cat in one episode—the only other one to do that before was Greg and Catherine immediately called him out on it, but Sara she lets. Meanwhile, Greg uses Stokes exactly one time, and it is an instant red flag that he is mad—Nick took Archie out into the field instead of him. Finally, Grissom pulls an Arch at one point, wild, at another point calls Dr. Robbins ‘Albert’ (his name is Albert?), but the biggest deal is when he reflexively calls Sara HONEY as he worries over a deep cut on her hand after the lab explosion. I don’t think he notices he says this. Sara does!!

Soundtrack Corner: What makes me so mad about CSI: Crime Scene Investigation having an episode where they licensed both Missy Elliott’s ‘Get Ur Freak On’ and Radiohead’s ‘Everything In It’s Right Place’, is that these song choices are insane, expensive, and outrageously on-the-nose, and therefore frankly magnificent for this television program. It’s the same fun-having, “lol we’re CSI!” energy with which they’ll put their latest establishing shot of the Strip at a Dutch angle, or the ‘Fight Night’ episode where they MAKE A JOKE using the fact that we all know their MUSIC STING that always leads into the opening titles. I just LOVE episodic television formulas sometimes I really really do!!

Speaking of episodic television by the way, I’ve realized what I like about when the characters walk around the lab and all these extras are just milling around behind them going about their work, is that it is Star Trek.

A few other assorted things:

- The Los Angeles REALLY comes through in some of the locations this season, especially when they hit a stretch of the production schedule where the area was apparently experiencing a lot of rain. I know I didn’t write down every time it was raining and I still have five separate notes about it.

- There’s a case that involves someone putting venom from his pet snakes in someone’s coffee where Greg refers to the suspected snakes as “hoses”, and it felt like a slur from an alternate universe. Do people say...hoses??

- Sorry to just bury this in the middle here but in episode 3x19 ‘A Night At the Movies’ Nick Stokes name-drops the filmmaker Quentin Tarantino. EXCUSE EXCUSE?! !! Did they already know Quentin Tarantino was a fan when they wrote that line and it was like a hiii gesture? Did they not know and then later when Quentin Tarantino revealed he loved the series where they like *blush* senpai noticed us. What does it mean that Quentin Tarantino exists in the world of this show and also wrote & directed a two-part episode of it. FEATURING THE CHARACTER WHO REFERRED TO HIM.

Anyway speaking of cinema, damn okay this high contrast hazy heat shot with the mountains

Arty?!

Before he heads off not into the desert, but to Desert Palm to get his inner ear surgery in the S3 finale, Grissom partnerly tells Catherine: “Take care of the case,” and I 100% thought that was going to end “kids.” He really is everyone’s forensics dad, particularly the boys. Warrick makes multiple references to the Ancient Greeks this season, Nick keeps piping up with all sorts of information about birds—and Grissom calls them both out for just trying to impress him with their facts. Meanwhile when Grissom cuts off Greg’s latest little rambling presentation with “Greg, why are you always doing this?”, Greg simply responds like this should be perfectly obvious: “Because you make me nervous.”

Finally, to end where we began: gonna be honest, if I had to, as Sara does at one point this season, collect evidence from an uncooperative drunk criminal, I can think of worse backup than Jim Brass sitting next to me just reiterating everything I said at a gruff cop shout. Brass is ♡our asshole♡. He’s a jerk and sometimes to his nerds but usually on behalf of them, because the fundamental State of Brass is that he just doesn’t give a shit what anyone says or thinks of him. He’ll be the bad guy, he doesn’t fucking care. Someone will say to him, “I don’t like you,” and Brass just remarks unbothered: “Well I guess I’ll have to live with that.” Hot take but Brass is actually the funniest person in this show. He takes such quick-witted joy in following the letter but not the spirit of whatever angle a suspect wants to take with him. Brass to a professional dominatrix, conversationally: “Yeah I’d like to feel more secure in my role as a homicide detective.” God I lost it. There’s also this amazing bit in 3x10 where he’s telling Warrick about La Lluvia de Peces that I truly cannot even describe, it’s just this odd, disjointed little monologue capped by him walking off at the end and Warrick suddenly calling after him: “Wait what were you doing in Honduras?” BRASS.

Merlin 3x11 “The Sorcerer’s Shadow” Highlights

Omg, it’s Dudley

Do you think Harry Melling was determined to play a character with magic after all those years of not being a magical character in the Harry Potter series?

God I still adore this theme tune. I hardly ever skip the intro because I love it so much

Arthur being all “chill, Merlin, there’s nothing to worry about – it’s just a tournament where there are no rules” while watching dudes slice the heads off of practice dummies and having axes just barely miss his head is 100% peak Prince Dumbass. Bless

Imagine showing up to a bed and breakfast and they’re like “you can stay here, but you need to room with someone else”. We have it so good in the 21st century

I say this all the time, but Colin is such an amazing actor. When those two skeevy dudes start harassing Merlin and ordering him to clean their boots, the fear and disgust on his face is palpable

Like, Merlin’s obviously powerful enough to kill both of them with minimal effort, but he can’t protect himself that way in this scenario, so watching him navigate the situation without that to back him up is so tense and uncomfortable

Colin Morgan is a gift to this world y’all

I wonder how lonely Merlin is at times. He seems to latch onto new friends whenever he has the opportunity to make them. Gilli saves his life and Merlin’s immediately in protective best friend mode

Morgana is so good at manipulation. She’s just there planting all the seeds she knows will make Uther want to compete in the crazy death tournament. She’s such a great villain

That trumpet fanfare. You know the one

Merlin and Gaius immediately being all raised eyebrows when Gilli wins his fight

CSI: Camelot – now with added Gaius

In this episode, Merlin actually goes to the tavern

The magic as homosexuality metaphor is strong in this episode. Gilli’s whole thing about how his dad was too scared to ever use his magic, but how Gilli wants to be proud of who he is, and Merlin’s agreement with him but fear for his safety in a mentor kind of way… it’s all there

Look, I know it’s only a few more episodes until Uther dies, but I can’t help but sit here during all of his fights just waiting for someone to fatally stab him

Gilli’s conflicted feelings about killing the guy who was tormenting him his heartbreaking. I 100% understand that feeling of wanting to hurt those people who make your life a living hell, but I know for sure I would feel guilty af afterwards

So Gilli gets a hero’s welcome when he gets back to the tavern, but since innkeeper said earlier in the episode that only people competing in the tournament could stay there, aren’t they all in the tournament too? Aren’t these his opponents? Did they all just hate the asshole dude that Gilli killed as much as he did?

Arthur’s almost physical pain at the idea of losing a fight to his dad

Arthur: “Do you have any idea how it feels to live with a man who constantly thinks he’s the best?” – Merlin: “Mmm, must be irritating.”

Fuck I love Anthony Head’s voice

I’d listen to him reading a grocery list I swear

Morgana’s shit-eating grin as she watches the two most proud and stubborn men she knows beating the shit out each other with the potential to fatally wound is amazing

I like that Merlin has learned to stop listening to Gaius when he warns Merlin against talking to baby sorcerers about their magic because Gaius’ bad advice was largely to blame for the Morgana situation we now find ourselves in

Okay so this scene in Gilli’s room in the inn, where Merlin reveals his magic to Gilli and they’re both overcome with emotion at realising that they’re not alone is so powerful, but like, then they both start yelling about magic at the top of their lungs and I’m just wondering how thick these walls actually are? Doesn’t sound travel super well through wood? Do they know that there are dozens of people they don’t know in the building? What’s the plan if they’re confronted?

Merlin’s eyes flicker down for the shortest of seconds when Gilli accuses him of forgetting who he is, even as he tries to deny it, conveying his doubt with the tiniest of eye movements

Like fuck, Colin Morgan is fucking fantastic actor

(I’m saying that a lot because it’s true)

“OOOOOOOO DRAGOOOOON…”

The one time where Kilgharrah is all “hmm, maybe let’s save the king” and Merlin is all “do we have to?”

“Some choices are easy, some stay with you forever.” SMASH CUT TO THE MERLIN FINALE WHERE WE SEE AN OLD AND TIME-WEARY MERLIN LIVING WITH HIS CHOICES. THE FEELS MAN

Merlin is the fucking ice man when he’s determined to save someone. The absolute frigid glare he gives Gilli while fucking with his plan to kill Uther is everything

Please do yourself a favour and just watch the extras whenever the crowd is cheering. Some of their reactions are hilarious

The farewell scene between Gilli and Merlin is so sweet and hopeful. It’s a shame we never see him again

Uther has a rare moment of decent parenting towards Arthur and I love Morgana’s seething rage at the exchange

Every time Gaius tells Merlin he’s proud of him, I gain a year of life

NEXT EPISODE IS WHERE WE START GATHERING OUR FAVOURITE KNIGHT SQUAD Y’ALL ♥

Supernatural/Monk

A little background:

- I grew up watching a TV show called Monk. It’s kind of similar to CSI, Criminal Minds, and Sherlock. Adrian Monk is a brilliant detective who has severe OCD. Well, I recently found a channel that plays episodes every week day so I decided to record some of them to rewatch. This is a list, in no particular order and which I will add to as I see more episodes, of episodes that feature someone I now recognize and know from Supernatural. I’ll list the character they play in Supernatural and which episode of Monk they’re in.

Jo (Mr. Monk and the end, part II. 8x16)

Bobby (Mr. Monk gets married. 2x15)

Little girl Lilith (Mr. Monk and the dog. 8x11)

Zachariah (Mr. Monk and the very, very old man. 2x05)

Crowley (Mr. Monk vs the cobra. 3x11)

Castiel (Mr. Monk and the captain’s marriage. 4x12)

Kelly (Mr. Monk gets hypnotized. 7x08) One scene, easy to miss

Mary (Mr. Monk and the big game. 5x03)

Charlie! (Mr. Monk gets drunk. 4x05)

Chicago PD fic: More Than Meets the Eye

Title: More Than Meets the Eye

Summary: A series of post-ep missing scenes between Halstead and Lindsay.  Begins with 3X11 “Knocked the Family Right Out” and will continue through season four. Spoilers up to the current episode 4X16 “Emotional Proximity” (will continue to change as episodes air)

A/N: This is my first foray into writing Linstead.  I’ve been writing Olicity for a couple of years and before that I tackled House, CSI and NCIS.  But I’ve recently started watching Chicago PD and I have to admit, I was immediately hooked and have now binged the first three seasons and am completely caught up… and more than a little in love with Linstead.  Let me know what you think please!

Read on AO3 or ff.net.

Knocked the Family Right Out

The panic strikes hot and fast the minute that he sees the name on the lease.  Tawny Darren.  Their second victim is somehow involved in all of this.  And Erin is with her right now.  Alone.

The second the words are out of his mouth, they’re rolling out.  He’s barely keeping it together.  He knows he needs to.  For the sake of the team.  For Erin. He’s no good to her if he can’t keep his head on straight.  She’s smart. Strong, resourceful, resilient. He knows she doesn’t need to be rescued, not often, but the thought of her walking into a trap - one set by a man who raped a fourteen year old girl – sends his protective instincts into overdrive. She’s a good cop, his partner, but she’s also the woman that he loves.

He rides shotgun while Antonio drives.  She doesn’t answer any of his calls and with every moment that ticks by, his heart falls further into his stomach.

“Lindsay’s phone is still at that location.”                      

He takes little comfort in Mouse’s statement and calls out the next turn.

It takes eight long minutes before they’re on the scene.  He doesn’t even wait until the truck is fully stopped before he’s out and making his way to the front door, gun drawn.  Atwater and Ruzek are with him, flanking him up the walk.  When he pushes the door open, they separate, Kevin to the left and Adam to the right, leaving Jay to head up to the second floor.

He takes the stairs as quickly as he dares, not willing to spook any of their perps, but the sounds of a struggle make his feet move faster.  He bursts into one of the bedrooms and has to swallow the fury that immediately attempts to smother him.  She’s bound and gagged, her eyes wild as they seek him out, and everything in him is screaming for her.  But Ty Hanley is there with a knife to her throat and Jay knows that there’s only one way for this to end.

“Drop the knife!”

Hanley grabs her, angling her like a shield in front of him, and presses his blade harder to the delicate skin of her neck.

“Walk out now!”

“Drop it!”

“You wanna see her neck sl –“

He doesn’t think, doesn’t hesitate.  He pulls the trigger, dropping Hanley with a single shot.  His body goes slack and Erin rolls away from him.  She’s trembling and he can barely hear her terrified whimpers over the ringing in his ears.  He crosses the room in two quick strides, pulling the gag from her mouth before getting to work on her bindings.

“You alright?  You okay?”

She’s gasping when she answers, her voice shaking.

“S- Spence and Tawney are here.”

He radios the team.

“Antonio, one offender down, find the other two!”

And then his focus shifts to her, only her.  As soon as she’s free, she’s in his arms.  He tucks her beneath his chin and clings to her as if she’s going to slip away from him.  He feels the tiny tremors that wrack her body, feels her fingers twisting in the material of his jacket, and he wishes he hadn’t let her come alone.

“Erin, are you alright?”

His voice is hoarse, the anxiety slithering its way into his throat tightening his vocal chords, and he wonders absently if maybe he’s actually the one trembling.  She moves away, only as far as he’ll let her go, and the sight of blood splattered across her face turns his stomach.  Even if it isn’t her blood.

She nods and tries to smile but it doesn’t reach her eyes.

“I’m fine.”

He sighs and pulls her back to his chest, closing his eyes and breathing properly for the first time since he’d seen Tawny’s name on that damn lease.  

He holds her hand as he leads her down the stairs, helps her into her coat where it had been left in the dining room, and follows her out onto the street.  He finds napkins in the glovebox of their car, handing them to her and gesturing silently to her face.  

Antonio comes out then, guiding Tawny roughly from the house.  He catches Jay’s eye, glancing questioningly at Erin, and Jay nods once before taking Tawny off his hands.  He’s almost got her to the car when Kevin and Adam roll up with Spence cuffed in their backseat.  He hears Erin’s question to the kid, hears him accuse Tawny of arranging all of it, and before any of them can stop her, she’s whirling towards them.  She hisses at her, her voice menacing, and when Tawny has the balls to spit in her face, Erin throws a punch that knocks the other woman back into Jay.  Antonio grabs Erin before she can really lose it and for a split second – even though he won’t admit it – he’s proud of his girl for taking that swing.  It’s twisted what these three have done and not a single one of them has shown any sign of remorse.  He’s not in the least bit sorry that one of them is dead.

The ride back to the district is filled with a tense silence.  Tawny is cuffed in the back of their car.  Erin’s dark sunglasses hide her eyes.  Neither of them speak.  So when he finds her alone a while later in the break room, he takes the opportunity to reassure himself one last time that she’s really okay.

“You alright?”

She sighs and shrugs and looks down into the coffee she’s just made for herself.

“Yeah.”

The tightness in his chest loosens just a little.

“Promise me one thing? Never go in without back up again.”

She gives him a small, sad smile and nods.

“Yeah.”

“I mean it.  Not even for a parking ticket.  That goes for all of us.”

She takes one step then another until she’s close enough to set her hand on his forearm.  

“I’m already kicking myself. It’s just, that girl… I – I bought it.”

He shakes his head and twists his arm where she’s grasping it until he can reciprocate, wrapping his fingers around her elbow and anchoring her the way she’s always anchored him.

“Hey, we all did.”

They stay connected for a long, silent moment.  There are so many things he wants to say to her.  They’re still in the very early stages of this relationship and even though they’ve been on the cusp before, he doesn’t want to push her.  He doesn’t want to scare her.  And he’s sure that he would if he told her everything that he’d been thinking today.  He’d been terrified that he was going to lose her.  He doesn’t let himself think too hard about the future he’d imagined with her and how worried he’d been that it was all going to be ripped away from him so suddenly.  He certainly isn’t ready to tell her that he loves her even though he’s known for a long time that he does.

“Okay.  Lecture over.  You want to get a beer?”

She chuckles, that raspy sound that never fails to send a shiver down his spine, and squeezes his arm.

“Definitely.  But I’ve got some good news to deliver first. Meet you at your place in an hour or so?”

“Sounds good.  I’ll see you later.”

Erin just gives him a nod before stepping out of the room, leaving him to watch her go.  And he does.  He watches her walk away from him and he lets her because he knows that she’s okay.  She survived, like she always does, and he’ll see her again soon.

Merlin 3x10 “Queen of Hearts” Highlights

I love that even in Morgana’s nightmares, Merlin is beaming with pride at his friend, Gwen

Gwen and Arthur’s love theme is so beautiful and tragic. All sweeping strings and melancholy notes. Gorgeous

Morgause’s creepy whisper lure whenever she wants to meet with Morgana

Gwen trying to desperately to hide her feelings for Arthur in front of Morgana because she doesn’t trust her anymore

(We’re getting into the good shit now y’all)

Gwen and Arthur’s covert flirting over breakfast while Uther is trying to talk to him and Arthur knocking over a glass because he’s so awkward around Gwen sometimes

Arthur’s little pout of boredom while he’s thinking of what to write

Listen, it doesn’t get said enough, but Katie McGrath is an amazing actress. Morgana comes into the room to talk to Arthur using the sweet, friendly voice that she had in the first season, but now it’s tinged with insincerity. She’s so good at playing Morgana playing innocent

Morgana tells Arthur that she knows Gwen has feelings for him too and immediately his face lights up and he’s all like “Really? Did she say something??” He’s such a dork

I keep getting distracted by the lute in the corner of Arthur’s room. Who’s playing it?? Is it Arthur when he wants to unwind?? Did Merlin learn to play so that he could serenade Arthur whenever His Highness wants music?? I MUST KNOW

Gwen is so practical and level-headed – I love seeing her getting to let go and just be happy for a while

Merlin’s little smile and “you look lovely” when he arrives to pick up Gwen is so sweet and wholesome

Arthur using the tray as a mirror and how he drops it because he forgets how to hands when Gwen and Merlin arrive

Morgana is such a devious bitch who knows exactly how to manipulate Uther and I love her

Arthur’s fantasy of running away and becoming a farmer involves Merlin running away too because Arthur can’t imagine a life without Merlin. Hold me – I’m weak

This picnic looks so cosy and lovely. It would be a shame if something were to… happen to it

Uther being completely fine with the idea of Arthur messing around with Gwen as long as it doesn’t become anything serious is item 1183 on the list of reasons why he’s the actual worst

Arthur admitting that he loves Gwen for the first time in front of his completely unreasonable father is peak Prince Dumbass. Bless

Arthur: “You know, Merlin, you couldn’t keep a secret if your life depended on it!” – Merlin: “You’d be surprised!”

Merlin being so reluctant to leave Arthur alone with Morgana and his icy glare at her as he leaves

Arthur 100% prepared to leave Camelot to be with Gwen

Where is Elyan y’all? Is he still in Camelot? If so, why isn’t he here comforting his sister who’s about to be banished from the only home she’s ever known? If he’s not, why is she so worried about where she’ll go? Just go to him. It’s like the writers completely forget that she has a brother at times

I love Gwen and Merlin’s friendship so much. It’s so sweet and supportive

Morgana, the neutral evil queen of my heart ♥

(Gwen is being accused of using magic to enchant Arthur to fall in love with her) Uther: “Why else would Arthur fall in love with someone like you?” – Gwen: “I don’t expect someone like you to understand that.” – THAT BDE THO

Uther taking Arthur wanting to relinquish his claim to the throne as proof that he’s enchanted proves just how little he knows about his children

Gwen and Arthur stealing what they assume will be their last kiss and Arthur telling her “I will always love you” is just such high romance

Like, y’all, I’m Merthur trash until I die, but I love Arthur and Gwen’s relationship

Gwen fully turning on Morgana because she realises that Morgana’s fully turned on her

Merlin’s crazy plot to save Gwen: cosplay

THE FIRST TIME WE SEE OLD!MERLIN

The little face Merlin pulls to get into character is precious

“I AM DRAGOON, THE GREAT!”

Honestly, any time Colin gets to play a different version of Merlin, it’s gold

Morgana’s ???? face when another sorcerer shows up claiming to have placed the poultice that she placed

Merlin getting to give Uther a piece of his mind after all these years of having to keep silent is so cathartic

And Merlin, while he’s on a role, complaining about how Arthur treats him too because why not

Morgana’s face going from ???? to ???????????? when the other sorcerer confesses

Gaius’ go-to lie when Arthur can’t find Merlin: he’s at the tavern

Arthur being like “what’s the point? You’re about to be executed anyway” when Dragoon wants to confess to more crimes is the reason he can’t be in CSI: Camelot. Don’t you have cold cases? Unsolved mysteries? What if this sorcerer could give you the answers to those things?

I just got chills at Merlin, looking like the old man we see at the end of the series facing a life of immortality, facing his mortality as he stares at the pyre he’s about to be burned on

Oh god that tension between Gwen and Morgana. All polite smiles and cold eyes because there’s no friendship left but they both have to pretend there is.

The thing I love about both Gwen and Merlin is how much they believe in Arthur and the good he can do for the kingdom. They’re prepared to do whatever it takes to see that happen and I love it so much

Merlin walking in all dishevelled after whatever chore Arthur has subjected him to will never not be endearing
