Merrrrlin, why are you so dumb and yet so adorable? And, dude, did you just pull a Guy of Gisborne at the end there?



Yeah, I think you did.

The whole "forbidden love with a lady of magic" plot made me wish oh so fervently for some more Merlin/Morgana developments.

The preview--! !!!! Okay, so, it'll be the second time Arthur has been hopelessly bewitched to fall for the wrong lady, and the third episode this year in which lovestruck comedy is milked for all it's worth, but I am looking forward to this episode with an almost unbearable amount of excitement. "My job... is to woooo." GIANT CARTOON HEARTS SHOOTING OUT OF MY EYES RIGHT NOW, I'M SERIOUS.

OH AND ALSO -- OMG OMG OMG WHY IS MY FLIST NOT EXPLODING OVER THE LATEST EPISODE OF SPOOKS? MAJOR MAJOR SPOILERS FOR 8.04, so some spoiler space for those who have not watched it...















OH MY GOSH WAS THAT NOT THE MOST PERFECT EPISODE IMAGINABLE? I MEAN MY EXPECTATIONS WERE THROUGH THE ROOF BASED ON THE PREVIEW AND YET THIS STILL MANAGED TO EXCEED ALL OF THEM. YES YES YES YES YES I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY. Lucas's twisted trust bond with former torturer: PERFECT. Ros almost fondly telling Harry that she'll "look after" Lucas: PERFECT. (Ros! Lucas! Ros/Lucas! I JUST HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS, OKAY.) An overabundance of RA in the buff: PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT. Sarah throwing Mr. Bell over the railing: SO PERFECT THAT I MIGHT ACTUALLY HAVE CLAPPED AT THE TELEVISION SCREEN. I MEAN YEAH WE SAW IT COMING FROM FIVE MILES AWAY BUT MY ENJOYMENT OF HER CHARACTER JUST INCREASED BY A FACTOR OF FIFTY ZILLION AND NOW I AM ACTUALLY DIGGING LUCAS/SARAH, POSSIBLY BECAUSE I AM A GLUTTON FOR PUNISHMENT AND NOW ONE OF THEM WILL HAVE TO KILL THE OTHER AND WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN WITH MY ARMITAGE!SHIPS BUT WHATEVER.

I think I am going to have to rewatch this episode in its entirety and do some sort of picspammy recap/review because YES IT WAS THAT AMAZING. OMFG. WHY DO I NOT HAVE A SPOOKS ICON?

RE: Spooks - PICSPAM PICSPAM PICSPAM! It was perfect. It was like it was written for me, and me alone. I am going to obtain it via nefarious means (even though I legitimately watched it on the Beeb) just so I can watch it endlessly and cap the hell out of it and caress it and love it and call it George.

(Missed Merlin, so am avoiding top bit of your post.)

It was like it was written for me, and me alone.
Clearly we are both watching Spooks for the same reasons, because that is exactly how I felt about the episode as well -- like it was written by somebody who knows that I only care about probably 17% of the general content of the series, and decided to make a concentrated hour of just those aspects. AND SARAH, SERIOUSLY, I STILL CAN'T GET OVER HOW MUCH I LOVED SARAH AT THE END. Does that make me a bad person? Yes? Probably? Oh well, I'll find a way to live with it.

Was his request to 'Stay' a nod to RH? Which is just crazy if it was. I wonder if she will ask him to kill Harry Pearce in the finale? :O

Still not feeling the Lucas/ Sarah thing - I just kept thinking 'Noo! Run Lucas Run!'. I mean I suppose I should have thought the same with Guy/ Marian - but I got too much joy out of them till the end.

I had the same thought, so it wasn't just you! It's definitely more subtle than the "coming home with me" nod that RH made to N&S, which makes it much more possible that it was just a coincidence, but it's more fun to pretend that the writer of this ep is a furtive Guy of Gisborne fan.

At first I wasn't into Sarah/Lucas at all simply because of the utter predictability of it all, and even though this turn of events is, well, predictable -- at least it is taking predictability to awesome new heights? Like, I could have guessed that she was double-agent-ing, but that she just chucks Mr. CIA Boss Dude overboard like that... it gives me hope for some serious badassery once the inevitably Sarah/Lucas showdown rolls around, let's just say that.

OMG OMG just watching it on iPlayer now but the amount of naked!RA makes it already the best Spooks episode ever ;)

I almost don't even want to catch up on 8.05 because I just want 8.04 to go on FOREVER AND EVER AND EVERRRR.
