Bring On Episode 9! Let's Get This Enchantment Sorted!

So: There are going to be some difficult and dark parts in here. There will be things you may not enjoy reading. There may be some things you will HATE reading. All I ask is that you trust me and stick with me. Don’t kill me. See it through. I promise it will all be okay. Okay? Okay.

-Guinevere-

    “You have suffered much for one so young,” Helios says, seemingly sympathetic to Gwen’s fabricated tale of a murdered family and her flight. “Now those days are truly behind you,” he adds decisively, lifting his goblet to his lips. He drinks, eyeing her appreciatively...

Arthur slipped quietly out of the castle, wearing his familiar ‘incognito cloak’ over his white shirt. He had first worn it when hiding out at Guinevere’s house during the Tourney, the first time he realised how much he felt for her and the first time he had kissed her sweet lips. Since then there had been many a visit to her house in the dead of night. He had been stopped and challenged many times by the guards, until they grew to recognise his cloak.

As he made his way the short distance the moon was full.

He tapped on her door gently, a familiar combination of taps which she knew. As...

•James Callis and I wish there had been more of him.
•Cinematography was phenomenal

•Kilgharrah has family and adorable family too.

•The Druids make an appearance and I love them.

•The introduction of the Treiskelion (Celtic Symbol) it is about forward motion (mankind’s that is). It is a dynamic symbol of growth, progression, war before tranquility…back to the darkest hour theme.

It is also the ancient symbol of the Trinity lolol. If you interpret it spiritually: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. If you do so symbolically: Love, Intellect, Power.

There is a holy Trinity in...

“It is always darkest just before the Day dawneth.”

This phrase often ascribed to the English Theologian Fuller is so apropos for this episode thematically. We partook of said dark hour tonight and it was glorious. Not because of magical beasts ie hormonally imbalanced rodents of the dentally challenged variety, with strong affections for Sir Gwaine, but because it spoke to the heart of compassion, those who actually have it and those who don’t; those who are selfless and those who are selfless; those who have courage and those who snip and bite at wounds in a roundabout way like what...

Our hearts and condolences go out to the people of Norway at this tragic time with the killing of 90 people, mostly young teenagers enjoying a camping trip as well as those killed in the bombing in the capital, Oslo.

I hope we can all pray for them and hope that we can avoid such tragedies in the future.

Also, the sad death of Amy Winehouse, a promising young singer of only 27 years old. A sad but inevitable death due to her unfortunate addictions. She was a great singer and had so much to live for at her tender age but alas took the wrong path.

All in all, it has been a sad weekend in two Continents....

Now, the majority of you have seen the first few episodes of Merlin and it is glaringly apparent that ARWEN is a non-starter this season. I think in all honesty and politely we need to tweet merlinofficial and let them know our displeasure.

This is unacceptable. We are the majority of the audience for God's sake and our OTP is intentionally on every level being pushed aside and doing it to the point where it has become so obvious and ridiculous.

It is clear that they want no interaction for the couple. The only interaction must be with Arthur and Merlin and this is not only lopsided it is gravely...
