After finishing Season 2, I must say that although I don’t think it was on the same level as the first, the creators managed to turn me into an even more addicted fangirl, thanks to the introduction of new characters and the witty scenes / touching moments between the oldies.
First of all, I really love how this show doesn’t fall into your typical “everything is black & white; people are either good or evil” category. Yes, magic is mostly used with evil intentions, but a big number of warlocks and witches only wish to execute their revenge on Uther, the biggest hypocrite and probably most antagonistic character of the entire series.
Just take the circumstances and background of Arthur’s birth… which he finds out thanks to Morgause, my new favourite semi-evil heroine, who happens to be Morgana’s half-sister. And a skilled warrior. And a powerful sorceress, who wants Uther dead. But yeah, who doesn’t.
Merlin goes yuri incest.
She also happens to have a crush on love Morgana to a yuristic extent, which can be tagged under the slashy pairings in BBC’s Merlin series’ list, right next to Arthur and Merlin. Which reminds me, their banters have been amazing! Even though there were many, many nerve-wracking minutes, those two always managed to keep it light. Well, more or less.
