I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't buy the so-called epicness of the battle. I just sat there and thought: wtf am I rooting for again?
I know what you mean. At this point I`m pretty much rooting for the characters that was, the Arthur and Merlin I fell in love with way back when. They held so much potential and clearly had good hearts (still have them when the writers allow that to peak through) so I`m rooting for nostalgia more or less.
Of course in that vein, I`d love redemption for Morgana but they have left nothing of a character inside the villain puppet with the bad hair. Ironically, the hair part bugs me now most of all because I see it as some attempt to ugly her up so Gwen can be the only pretty girl on the show.
And good god is that petty. Arthur and Merlin look like they stepped out of a Season 1 spa, Nimueh apparently kept her appearance youthful and pretty for twenty years, Morgause was made to look strikingly beautiful yet Morgana who has always been a beautiful woman in her own right needs to look like some Medusa now?
That line from Arthur about being all wrong about Merlin made me so furious. I'm still not over it.
Strangely, I found that entire scene to be one of the most affirmative of their love/bond on the show. Because I thought that Arthur clearly was being honest in what he said about thinking Merlin the bravest men he`d ever met and clearly didn`t mean the "guess I was wrong" part.
That he just said to lash out because he was so hurt by the thought that Merlin was breaking up with him in that very moment. Gathering supplies? Weak, they went into battle before, they prepared for sieges before and Merlin never needed to be away to "run an errand" for Gaius then.
Despite the Arwen pimping (le sigh), we saw that not only didn`t Arthur plan to take her with (and as she said, they might never see each other again), he hadn`t even entertained the thought.
But Merlin? When he said he couldn`t come, he crashed Arthur`s entire world. Of course that wouldn`t have been necessary if we still weren`t in year 20.328 of the big stupid secret. Urgh.
Still, to me it shows that Arthur and Merlin are like wild, crazy sex in the woods, with biting and all while Artur and Gwen are like...a foot massage, with socks on.
Seriously, how did these writers/producers even get their jobs in the first place?

I have honestly no idea.
