Merlin 4.01
So, a year has passed. In this time, Uther has grown weak, the knights have grown awesome, Arthur lost a crap ton of weight, Morgana got a new wardrobe and yurt, Gaius got a new wig, Gwen got some extensions and make up, and Merlin got... nothing? Not even a new jacket. Poor guy.
Percival carrying the children was cute. Yes, obvious showing that big guy is still big and such, but I rather loved the almost dumb jock moment of, "Er, how do I do this?". The boy is not the brightest, but he does have a good heart.
Also, the episode once again furthers my belief that Arthur so totally knows about Merlin. I mean, I have suspected this for a while, especially with the last two episodes of last season, but I really do think he has figured it out and is almost getting tired of playing dumb. He knows there is *something* about Merlin that is keeping him safe and probably thinks there is magic of some sort involved, beit a charm Merlin carries, or Merlin himself. He can't admit it and can't ask, not yet, but he knows Merlin is special in some way, even if he does not know the specifics.
Did love Lancelot both knowing and being amused by the whole thing, right up until he is concerned. Did not love Merlin being stupid enough to jump toward the ghost thing. It's one thing to save both Arthur and the kingdom via blood sacrifice, but another to push Arthur out of the way, get offed yourself, and then leave him to go off himself trying to save everything else. Not that Merlin will actually die, of course. There's that whole immortality in the myths thing, not to mention he's the title character. *g*
No, the show is not perfect. But it does provide so much fodder for stories that you kinda have to love it, at least a litte.

Heee, Youngest. *pets him* Tell him Gwaine and Lance are totally in cahoots and one agrees to look after him extra when the other is not around. *nods*
Hmm yes, at lot of folks have provided an explanation for Arthur's face (including Merlin's-been-at-the-rum-again-damnit-Gwaine) so yes... I accept all of them. :D (though I do so greatly agree with your headcanon, that Arthur has known for a long while and he's just waiting... yes he is my precious...)
Still excited that Merlin is a man now... and still dreaming of a huge puppy pile of knights 'warming' Merlin up. How else could he have survived, right? :D:D:D
