I'm tipsy just thinking of all the drinks we'l be having tomorrow night :eek::p
Is it time to start looking forward to tomorrow's episode 'Valiant'? It is one of my favourite episodes from S1.
It's not one of my favorite, but it does have what might possibly be the two most HILARIOUS magic scenes of all time. You can probably guess which those are...!

Urgh! I am struggling to remember what magic occurs now. Apart from Merlin making the dog and the snakes come alive...
Edit: And doing all his chores for Arthur by magic....
Oh yes, I loved that scene too. As anyone who read my fanfic might be able to guess (I resurrected it as the first bit of magic Merlin does for Arthur after his magic is revealed).

I really need to write another sweet and fluffy and within the original timeline story (hope that makes sense - I mean pre Camlann). I just need the sweet fluffiness. Still.

Oh you should, by all means! Especially after the success of your first venture, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Me, I just rewrite the last five minutes in my head, in which Arthur lives and together they vow to found a new Albion, whilst Freya smiles up at them from the Lake of Avalon. I let the dragon retire though, because he's earned it, and also because it will force Merlin to look after Aithusa for a change:)
In the meantime, if you haven't read it, this is a nice, altogether satisfying piece which takes up from the end of S2 (Last Dragonlord) and fills in the gaps. It's not fluff, but it takes both Merlin and Arthur on the journey one wishes the show had allowed them to take, and there is heartfelt insight in it: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5676898/1/Moral-Measure.

You should Avi, I really liked your first one. (I have an overwhelming need for sweet fluffiness too, you can help me out with my happy fluffy rainbow land imaginings. )
I'll be there for ep 2. I can't stand Will Mellor but that's okay - we're not meant to like him!
I've been up late reading In Your Name and I have to say I did really enjoy it. There's a sequel too (in progress) that I'll get started on next. (But The Student Prince still reigns supreme IMO!)
I too want fluffy stories, but I'm still craving ones set AFTER the finale that make everything better without changing canon. Reincarnation/modern AU are great but I need something that will allow me to one day rewatch S5 ep13 and NOT bawl like a baby for three hours straight afterwards!
Anyway, back to S1 and happier times, eh?
I thought that at the time. Love it! Isn't that what we'd all do if we had magic, use it to be lazy? I know I would. They did it in 2.02 as well.

I still can't believe they ended it the way they did. I've read tons of fics, most probably from under 18's, that have written it better than the writers did. How they got a job I'l never bloody know :rolleyes:
Yes - thoroughly enjoying it - but I am sorry that Arthur & the Knights stopped wearing the surcoats, I think it looks better than just the bare chain mail.
(I do of course realise that it is another layer before shirtlessness is achieved, but think of it as deferred gratification
Ah, here we go!
Uther wears different crown. I like Arthur's crooked teeth! LOVE the cleaning with magic. Love a good tournament and the added tunic! Fancy dress! Valiant flirting with Morgana! Merlin hear's the hissing shield. Why, oh why does Gaius leave the Knight Ewan (witness) alone???? Doesn't Gaius have any say? He witnessed the confession. POT HOLE! Dragon! Lovely Gwen! Love Merlin starting to understand Arthur and his duty. Sword fight, good evil music! Morgana just happens to have a sword handy! Nice bickering between Morgana and Arthur. Just a fun episode. Still liked the first one better.
Have a date with my hubby, will check back in later! Have fun all!

Urgh! I am struggling to remember what magic occurs now. Apart from Merlin making the dog and the snakes come alive...
Edit: And doing all his chores for Arthur by magic....
Help me out here!
That's it. It was the magical multi-tasking. That, and all the incantational nuances with the dog. Both scenes were hilarious!
I'm sure they got their inspiration for that directly from Walt Disney!
Oh yes, I loved that scene too. As anyone who read my fanfic might be able to guess (I resurrected it as the first bit of magic Merlin does for Arthur after his magic is revealed).
I recognized it right away - it was very cute!

I love a good tournament
Watching it
Merlin is soooo cute
