Pssst, Merlin people ...

I've only seen the first three episodes, but just rewatched the one where Merlin saves Gwen's father and Gwen is accused of sourcery. Looking at the scene where Arthur tells his father's council that there is no way Merlin could be a sourcerer, it seemed obvious to me that Arthur knows.
Is this the actual case or is Bradley James's skill in inappropriate levels of attractiveness rather than acting? And feel free to spoil away!

I had to break it off as I would just sit there looking at him while he tried to impress me with his (actually quite substantial) intellect. I just felt so awful about objectifying him ...

Date: 2009-05-23 06:23 pm (UTC)1) Merlin, how can you be so stupid and blatantly use magic in front of me! Now I can't turn a blind eye anymore!
Or,
2) I've always been half-suspicious that there was something about you, but I thought you wouldn't keep such an important secret from me. I think of you as my friend. Clearly, the reverse is not true.
My personal take? Arthur has always been half-suspicious but he turns a blind eye so he doesn't feel like he's betraying Camelot and his father.

Date: 2009-05-23 07:45 pm (UTC)What indicated to you that Arthur knows?
I think Bradely plays Arthur very much on the surface. It works for me, I'll admit, because he's so adorable. It's not Made Men, lol.

Date: 2009-05-24 02:25 am (UTC)Oh, and you were right - the overbite has grown on me to a rather dangerous degree. Then again, I am now oblivious to the ears and focussed on the dimples.
It may wear off, but currently I am finding myself incredibly bubbly-happy over this silly little show. Not so much for the show, although I find it charming and frivolous and sweet, but for the fun and squirm inducing fic, and also for the behind the scenes cast made home vids, which show them as delightful, quirky people. It just makes me wish I was 22 again.
Oh, and I have this incredible urge to make a Merlin fanvid to Garbage's Crush. Don't judge me. ;)

Date: 2009-05-24 08:50 am (UTC)I think Arthur might suspect, but doesn't know for certain. And dear Bradley is much better at being ridiculously pretty than he is at acting. :D
no subject
Date: 2009-05-24 08:57 am (UTC)That scene read as though he is fairly convinced and thinks he is the only one who knows, so is responsible for covering it all up. And Bradley is so pretty that his acting could be better than Sir Ian's and he'd still have superior skills in prettiness.

Not those cheeks.
And before you ask, yes, I am quite aware of the ridiculousness of me finding the time or organisational ability to form a cabal ;-)

Date: 2009-05-24 08:42 pm (UTC)Cheeky is good ;)
Also, you little doggy has always looked to me as though she is watching something quite energetic and pervy happening just out of frame...
