Spoilers for episode 4x1 below the cut, especially for the cliffhanger!

So tonight, and with much excitement, the Mini Thems settled down to watch episode one of the new series of Merlin!

The snacks were sparse, but somehow they would manage.


Forty five minutes later they gave me their initial thoughts...



With some trepidation, I asked for their marks out of ten.



Clearly some tact and diplomacy was needed in this kind of delicate situation.

Delicious tact and diplomacy


However it seemed even tact and diplomacy could only go so far.



Here's to hoping Mini Merlin enjoys next week's episode a little better ;)

Laughing out loud, here - that second cap translates my feelings pretty well! (Well, except for the bit where we all know they're not actually going to kill Merlin off at this point... But, yeah, Arthur was excellent. ;D)

Mini Arthur was very pleased with his performance, he has no idea what Merlin is complaining about ;)

I enjoyed the M/A scenes very much, they were a great improvement on series 3!

Surely Merlin saw the trailer for next week and knows that it's not over yet!?
Genius BTW.

I did try to tell Mini Merlin that, but he has gone into a decline from which only chocolate can revive him :( It is a sad, sad day.

HAHA! Well, the sweetie has obviously improved Merlin's mood by a hundred percent - going from verbal to numerical disapproval is a big step! :)

I love how Arthur looks at Merlin in that last picture - and the fact that the popcorn is about half their size!

MORGANA!!!!! I love your icon <3

I suspect Mini Arthur wouldn't have minded some of that chocolate himself, but he didn't get the chance and anyway, Merlin needed it in order to find the strength to actually review the episode ;)

Bless them! Didn't mini Merlin watch the 'next time' bit which clearly showed Merlin alive and walking about? ;)

He was too depressed to watch any further! He had to go and lie on the radiator so he would never get frosty and die :(

I love your humor! LOL! I recorded the episode and watched it directly a second time, but I have no idea what exactly I did in all my thrill of anticipation to get it recorded like a radio play,,,,I am fortunatly not blind..... ;)
Hope to see more of your mini Merlin & Arthur next week.

Thank you :) Did you enjoy the episode? I loved all the Merlin/Arthur scenes.

And yes, I suspect the Mini Thems will be back next week, if I can persuade Mini Merlin out of his sulk...

Oh, Merlin... It'll all be fine. In a few episodes.


I guess I was a little excited...

psst. I am just catching up on all my livejournal stuff and I got your message about your fic! Of course I would never mind that :) I am planning a linky post, only not tonight because I am guessing no-one would see it in the mass of episode one reviews and picspams ;)

LOL, that was so funny and adorable! I can't wait to see what they have to say after next week's episode.

Mini Merlin doesn't enjoy the sweet, sweet angsty manlove?

I asked him and apparently being turned into a Frosticle overrides any such enjoyment :(

Mini Arthur let him eat the entire chocolate, which he feels should suffice :D

OMG, laughing before I even looked behind the cuttag...but I am now Very Concerned for Merlin!!!! Clearly this trauma needs more than 1 Linder's truffle (or whatever the chocolate goodie was...)

From: [identity profile] magog-83.livejournal.com
You are right to be Concerned. Mini Merlin has now set up home on the radiator and refuses to move in case he becomes a Frosticle.

They report that is was VERY tasty and next time I better provide more of it ;)

Oh no! Poor Mini Merlin!! I haven't watched the episode yet but I've heard the sorry news. Of course, the show is named Merlin so one assumes there will be a miracle in due course but I too would be traumatized were I in his mini boots. However, I know chocolate always goes a long way in assuaging my anxieties so it's a good thing you had some on hand for the poor fellow.

Date: 2011-10-03 09:01 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] magog-83.livejournal.com
He is very traumatised at present and has sunk into a decline from which only chocolate can revive him :( I only hope I can persuade him to tune in next week and see the happy ending.

Oh dear, if this is Merlin's reaction to this episode, I'd pad his viewing space with cotton wool next week just in case his bff departs the way we think he will. Or perhaps provide a pre-emptive thimble of mead? I agree with Arthur, however. Excellent, indeed.

Date: 2011-10-03 09:02 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] magog-83.livejournal.com
Oh god, don't even mention it! I haven't dared broach the subject ;)

There will be lots of chocolate on standby and some mead, definitely. Thank goodness I don't have a Mini Lancelot too.

I agree with Arthur, he was excellent. Especially when telling Merlin how brave he (Merlin) was and how he (Arthur) was scared too, yes.

I hope Mini-Merlin hasn't given up on series 4, before he has a chance to be awesome, as well. Was he too upset to watch the 'Next Week on Merlin' trailer? Maybe he need to be reassured that the series is called 'Merlin', and not 'Arthur', for a reason.

As always, I love these two.

From: [identity profile] magog-83.livejournal.com
He was far too upset, and he's now gone to live on the radiator ;)

I hope next week Merlin does a bit better on the show and Mini Merlin gets his moment in the spotlight!

Oh mini-thems I <3 you. Especially you mini-Merlin.

Hopefully he will enjoy next week better. As he lives!

Mini Merlin suffers like no action figure has ever had to suffer before, truly it is harrowing ;)

Yes, better luck next week!

Arthur is very proud of himself, it's true. I hope next week they can both be pleased with themselves!!!

Mini-Arthur has every right to be pleased with himself - so wonderful in this episode.

I hope Mini-Merlin enjoys it much better too. :)

He is VERY pleased with himself, I had to take away his mirror so he would stop posing in front of it with his sword.

Hopefully Mini Merlin will be happier this week :)

I really need a pouty Merlin icon. But since I don't have one, I had to settle for pouty Arthur. Grumpy and indignant mini!Merlin is adorable. He shouldn't be so grumpy though as he'll be back in the next ep. I see mini!Arthur is very pleased with himself. =D

He is happy now he's seen episode 2, but it was touch and go for a while!

Mini!Arthur is always pleased with himself, I think I'll have to get him a mini mirror so he can better practice his heroic stance ;)

*Huge smile*. Obviously Arthur sacrificed the delicious tact and diplomacy to Merlin for Merlin to even rating.

Date: 2011-10-09 09:23 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] magog-83.livejournal.com
:D :D Sometimes sacrifices must be made, and anyway Merlin was originally going to rate it 'minus a million billion ZILLION x infinity' so this was definitely an improvement

So fun and so cute! Mini-Merlin is a bit of a drama queen with principles, he is very charming. So is Arthur, being pleased with himself.

He's a total drama queen, but somehow he's JUST cute enough to get away with it <3

I did try to tell him that but it was no use :( At least he's seen this week's episode now and knows it is all ok!
