Merlin rewatch -- S2E2: The Once and Future Queen
Arthur x Gwen
I have my issue with the way their romance was portrayed but there were a lot of good scenes in this episode. Arthur and Gwen looked insanely gorgeous. Especially Gwen.
***
The awkward "good night" between them was quite cute. Arthur was trying to be a decent human being. Gwen was probably still wondering why she got herself into this mess. Perhaps they also suddenly remembered the fact that they were staying with the person they had interest in.
***
" Would it kill you to say please and thank you once in a while?" (which Arthur didn't learn at all...).
I love how calm Arthur was through the whole thing. He didn't raise his voice once. His tone at first could be interpreted as a little threatening, but it was still soft. I like that he asked twice if Gwen had anything else to say. He actually wanted to know. And he admitted his fault instantly. (He went into the wrong way afterwards but he was trying...)
Unlike Merlin, Gwen actually understood the possible outcome of defying royalty. She was scared when she scolded Arthur. But Arthur proved it again that he wouldn't force Gwen's obedience and respect.
This is how she could admit that she wanted to make Arthur feel bad a little with a tentative smile. She was more certain now that she could say what she want in front of Arthur. They had status differences but they could still stand on equal footing. It's lovely. (Also the way Bradley said " Oh really" was so funny xd love him)
Then at dinner Gwen could jibe him lightheartedly and smiled at Arthur's indignant response. They're so cute.
***
The first kiss!!
It was so gorgeous. I was still mad that Arthur ordered Merlin to get a mattress the scene before and frankly the kiss was a bit impromptu. But the kiss itself was too perfect I can't complain.
***
"Perhaps when you are king things will be different…"

Question: in Merlin, do you think that Lancelot sacrificed himself because he promised Gwen he’d look after Arthur or because he knew Merlin was planning to sacrifice himself?
