giving u the gwaine emotions. eye of the phoenix is such an episode

Like HELLO why on Earth were they allowed to give us plots so good and then just drop the ball like there was no cherrybomb rule on the 4square court?!?!! Outside of Merlin himself. Gwaine had the biggest character potential out of everybody, he was a Knight of The Round Table that had motives outside of Arthur (come ON his motives were your TITULAR CHARACTER HOW DID YOU NOT USE THIS), Eoin himself who was a dream actor for the role and capable of so much more than the scripts gave him, he had an actual personality, which, if we’re being honest, they really did fail to give a lot of layers to most of the knights, etc. etc.  I could go on forever.

Anyway, I love Gwaine  I love how he’s a foil and a complement and a magnetic force on his own every time he’s on screen, and I love this episode and I love how they incorporated mythical prophecy with action in a very Arthurian way blah blah blah blah I’m insane!
