Set in the all-accepting past, Merlin is a show about: Merlin.

基礎受動態

For those of you who don't know: Merlin is set in arthurian legend,

A time when king Arthur ruled over Albion.

There's a lot of stories about king Arthur like:

The round table, the holy grail and Monty Python!

Merlin is an interesting show because it makes everyone young and ... good looking?

Well the writers also project their 2009 hipster fashion sense on Merlin.

Even though the year is like "negative seven or something"

But as BBC does with taking well established brands and making them

The relationship between Merlin and Arthur has been debated over being perharps...

not as straight as some would like to think.

Merlin, the titular character, is the new guy in town.

he becomes apprentice to the court positions/gay mentor/exposition man Gayus.

He also has magic, which, acording to King Uther of Camelot

So bad, in fact, that he thinks people should be executed for it.

Along with Uther, there's his arrogant son, Arthur.

And his kind of daughter Morgana who also secretly has magic.

When Merlin and Prince Arthur meet, they don't like each other.

It's like the beginning of one of those high school animes.

That I (uh) definitley don't watch and definitely wouldn't

know ANYTHING about. Since I... never watched one. Never.

To Merlin, Arthur was first introduced as some petty bully for a prince

that likes to taunt people lower than him.

To Arthur, Merlin was this random dude that challenged him

Needless to say, they didn't really like each other.

And so our story kind of begins now with Merlin

attending a kingdom event with his friend Gayus.

As thanks, Uther decides to give Merlin the previlege

Meet Merlin! He is a lowly servant with big and magical dreams!

Watch as these two rivals start to become friends!

Merlin isn't happy about being this dude's servant.

So imagine his thoughts, when he meets a dragon that tells him something outrageous.

That tells him that Arthur is his ... destiny.

"Arthur is the once and future king, who will unite the land of Elbion."

"I don't see what this has to do with me."

"Without you, Arthur will never succeed."

He doesn't believe that Arthur is somehow his destiny.

And the dragon is giving him really vague answers to his questions.

"How can it be my destiny to protect someone who hates me?"

"The half cannot truly hate that which makes it whole."

"Ah, great. Just what I needed, another riddle."

"That your and Arthur's path lies together is but the truth."

I guess Kilgharrahs answers are just a bit too gay for Merlin. //quality joke right there

How is it, that these two that hate each other become friends or - dare I say? - Lovers?

First and foremost they're both courageous and strong willed people.

They both have destinies that they feel are over-bearing.

Arthur's to be a great king and Merlin's to have some role in that.

All these things help them see eye to eye.

In fact, in episode 4, they're already risking their lives for each other.

When the weekly life-or-death situation is happening and Merlin was dying from poison

the only thing that could save him is that special flower that's guarded by this venemous beast.

Arthur wanted to take that risk of his own life to save Merlin.

Arthur and Merlin are faced with two Goblet/challice/fancy cup things

It's like... It's like a princess bride situation

Except... both of them are willing to die for each other.

Willing to poison themselves, so the other could live.

Even though they're self-sacrificial for each other

There's the issue that Merlin is a servant

"Alright, I'm a prince, so we can't be friends."
