The Curse of Cornelius Sigan (Merlin S2 EP1)

Merlin's back and he's kicking ass!

Well, actually, he's having his butt worked of by Arthur but that's part of fulfilling his destiny. I do wish that he gets treated better though. Well, at least last season he was saved by the future king. That was so sweet.

In this episode, Merlin goes against an ancient and very powerful sorcerer who is said to be immortal. Gaius warned Uther of this but as usual, the king brushed it aside. Morgana's nightmares resume (actually, they never really went away) and Gwen gets a new look! They've stopped making her wear her hair in a bun. And I think her corset's a little tighter. Hmm.

Arthur again showcased his undying courage, which can sometimes be to the point of stupidity. He does love to risk his life for his people, which is good, but he needs to keep in mind that his father doesn't have a spare heir. Lucky him that Merlin's always there to get his back. Hopefully this wouldn't make him think that he's invincible since he always escapes fatal situations. 

Although I wouldn't complain if I get saved by Arthur. haha. 

As for Merlin, sigh. For someone with such a great destiny, he has no choice but to take abuse from Arthur and everybody else. Oh well. At least he knows that if he does his job right, one day he will get to the top.

Oh, but I don't want Arthur to stop being a bully. It may be annoying at times because Merlin deserves better but that would suck all the fun out of the show. And Arthur would lose his angas, which adds so much to his pogi points.
