Merlin 4x09 Reactions
Nov. 27th, 2011 12:15 pmDespite all the ranting I'm about to do, I didn't hate this episode. I loved the angst, every bit of it, even if it wasn't exactly the sort of angst I wanted. And I certainly enjoyed all the pretty.
I just spend so much time in fandom, where there is amazing writing and character development and sensitive handling of issues like, oh, gender and consent and such things, and then. And then I remember that canon is nothing like fandom.
After this, I plan to go pull the warm blanket of fanfiction up around my ears and get cozy. Or skip on over to one of those fandoms like Suits or White Collar where the bad-ass woman gets included in lots of sexy threesome fics.
( This is just a rant about sexism and black-and-white conceptions morality from someone who really ought to know better than to expect different from a show like Merlin. And yet. Spoilers under the cut. )
