Thirteen Ways...

I Go Mad: Forget it. Happened a long time ago...

Hello, all. I have gotten nothing done today and wish I had. I should do something besides sit here and THINK.

Having figured out I'm overdosing on Merlin slash fics (if you know what that is don't tell my mother.) Tomorrow I will try to read NONE (good luck there.)

Having heard that there's a possibility that the end of this series of Merlin could end in a cliffhanger, I have thought of thirteen ways this series could end. Or leave me screaming bloody murder at the end of the last episode because it's 9 MONTHS till we get a straight answer.

Bear with me-some of these are so stupid I could cry.






SPOILER LINE


1. Uther dies. (Ha. Not till the end of the show, darlings. But the dragon's probably pretty pissed at him so he'd better be hiding in the dungeons way, way, WAY under the castle.)

2. Arthur dies. (Double ha. They aren't going to kill the future king of Camelot. FORGET IT. They tried it last year and thanks to fourteen other people lining up to die in his place (that'd be because he's so HANDSOME even when he's dying), he ducked sailing off to Avalon. Again.)

3. Merlin dies. (Oh, BEYOND ha. Like they're going to kill the character the show is NAMED after?)

4. Gaius kicks it (a high possibility. He's been aiming for it for practically the entire show.)

5. Morgana dies (Enh. Probably not. Unless she rises from the dead as an eeeevil character)

6. Gwen (nah. Arthur's too attached to her to let her really die. And he has to marry the woman so they can't kill her off.)

7. Merlin's magic gets revealed. (OK, this could happen, and it would mean that Bradley James lied to all of us when he said he wished this scene would happen "someday," meaning not in Series 2. But I'd forgive him if this happened at the last minute. Probably.)

8. Morgana and Gwen leave town. (Yeah, maybe. It'd explain Gwen leaving, anyway.)

9. Morgana's magic is revealed (Mm, probably not. She has practically no control over it right now (see bedcurtains and window glass, episode 3) and can't really MAKE it go without being asleep in bed so that's probably not going to happen.)

10. Lancelot shows up and takes Gwen with him (possibly due to Arthur's loving influence telling her to get out of town before she gets smushed beneath the dragon's big nasty claws?) (Interesting, interesting...)

11. That guy that knows so darn much about Merlin dies. (Yeah, and his final words send Merlin off on some freakin' goosechase for next series to some faraway place with lollipops and Velcro.)

12. Some character looks like they're going to die/gets apparently mortally wounded at the last minute and in S3 will survive the wound SOMEHOW. (This is the most likely of all. Come on. They stick somebody with a sword/arrow/part of the wall/dragon claws and we get to see the horrified pain and fear on their faces (and everyone else's) as they drop in slo-mo to the ground. And END SERIES! HA! Do they make it? Do they not? Do they turn into a tree, a bird, a fish, or a marsupial?)

13. They just bloody END the series in the middle of nowhere and leave the other half for next year. Or they leave it as the castle gets smashed to teeny, tiny bits of marble and stone. Oh, Cornelius Sigan should have just let the damn dragon tear up the castle and it would have destroyed Camelot nice and thoroughly.

The only thing I'm (fairly) certain of is that that STUPID, MANIPULATIVE, PAIN-IN-THE-ASS dragon is going to DIE. Love to know how they'll get the body out of Camelot. Dragon steaks for all! Bar-bee-Q!

And I've got it narrowed UP to THREE on who let the dragon out (I tossed in Morgause while you weren't looking.) Gaius isn't that stupid, Morgana barely knows the thing, Merlin would be a total doof to let that thing out (Note that he's the one who made the promise in the first place but he didn't say WHEN either) and Morgause could sneak in through the bad castle security and break off his chains. Otherwise she sneaks into the caverns another way.

Two weeks from tomorrow. I'm starting to get all tingly!

Ta,
