A/N: I'm going to start reviewing this in parts since the last chapter was so ridiculously long-over 11,000 words! Here's part one of Goblin's Gold and I'll update in about a week, if not a bit sooner! Enjoy, and don't forget to REVIEW! :D

Reflections

Chapter Three: Goblin's Gold Part 1 of 3

I am officially one week behind on episodes. I know this. I recognize this. And I am okay with this. As long as I continue to update once a week, I am not going to stress myself to the point of exhaustion. Is that okay? Because not only am I writing other stories right now, but I have a research paper due in sixteen days that I have not even started on, so if I try and get caught up with the episodes so that I'm reviewing it the week it airs, I won't get any sleep and I'll be cranky—and that is something that you do NOT want to see.

Not only this, but I am going to start splitting up my analysis of each episode into three parts. As I have been watching the show on YouTube, and each episode is divided into three parts of about equal length, I feel that I should be able to break up my posts as well. I acknowledge that this WILL mean that it will take longer to get through the season, but it will extend the story by quite a few chapters and give me a chance to get some homework done. Plus, that last chapter was over 11,000 words long and that is a lot to read—and write—in one sitting. I still plan on updating once a week, so please keep an eye out for updates and let me know what you think about each part. Cool?

I wish I could talk a little individually about the reviews I received like I did last time, but I just don't have the time (big paper, remember?). Although I will thank by name those who submitted me some lovely reviews and made me smile bigger than the Cheshire cat: LammySelfCJ (formally known as ThisIsMeAndOnlyMe), Tianne, , Halt's Daughter, Kitty O, Christina B, someone with absolutely no name so we'll call them King Fred the Fourteenth, Maggie, and Racheski. You. Guys. Rock.

A few things I would like to address about the reviews: I apologize sincerely. I feel like such a failure. It's not "Cedren." It's "Cenred." I can't believe I even dared to call myself a Merlin fan! My life is over, my career is doomed, I am going to crawl in a hole…

Naw, just kidding. I do feel rather silly and lazy for not checking the spelling and pronunciation before writing this review, but at least I got all the letters that needed to be there…just in the wrong order. Which gives me an idea…try and see how many words you can make out of the letters C, E, N, R, E, and D. Just for kicks. Maybe I'll even do something special for whoever comes up with the most, like give them virtual hugs, write them a silly poem about pop-tarts and their place in the celestial universe, or send them a platypus named George in the mail. Just give your words in the review, and we'll see who can come up with the most! Ha, I'm clever!

Thanks, though, seriously, who got on my case about it. I needed that. If I get out of line again, don't hesitate to give me a good virtual Gibbs-slap. I need to stop being so stinking lazy and actually check the spelling before I post an update. You guys are amazing for correcting me. Cedren… *shudders* What have I done, what have I done? Just so you know, I did go back and change all the Cedrens to Cenred in the second chapter, but I haven't gotten back to the first. Just thought I'd let you know that I fixed it.

One more thing…Congratulate me, guys, I got my first not so nifty review! Even though I prefer constructive criticism to "this is stupid," I'm still touched that the reviewer gave me the time of day to at least tell me what they thought—any input is better to none, savvy?

So now, enough of all this introduction junk. I'm extremely eager to get on with this episode. Many of you told me you couldn't wait to see what I would say about episode three of the third season of this our beloved show. I believe you said this because you think that this post is going to be funnier. Honestly, I'm not sure I can get much funnier than the episode itself. If I make you LOL in this review, I will be very pleased, but I will remind you in advance that the pure, brilliant hilarity of The Goblin's Gold plays a huge part in that laughing out loud. And so. We begin….and may the frivolity ensue!

GOBLIN'S GOLD

Oh my. This episode…this episode (giggle). Where on EARTH to begin? Okay, hold on a second, I'm laughing so hard that I can't feel my nose and think my left kidney is about to shrivel up. Oh wow…okay…I think I have regained my composure enough to give my riveting commentary on this epi—nope, never mind. I'm losing it again. *shakes in laughter, beats fist against wall, falls on the floor, and laughs some more*

FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER

Okay. Okay. I'm in con(giggle)trol again. I promise. I—hahahaha!

TEN MORE MINUTES LATER

Alright. Breathe, Liz, breathe. Ha! Okay. I'm good.

This. Episode. Is. Brilliant.

Yes, it was silly. Yes, it was a tad embarrassing to watch at times. Yes, there were several sizeable plot holes. And yes, there IS a such word as hippo-pot-o-monstroses-quipp-edalio-phobia (I had to break it up because for some strange reason, fanfiction dot net felt the need to completely delete the word when I had it all together, the silly website), even if my computer's spell check is not as sophisticated and amazing as I am and says it's not. Microsoft Word FAIL. Lizzie WIN.

My point is, even though it was a little goofy and could have used a little more putty or spackle to fill in a few of those somewhat sizeable holes in the wall, it was awesome. Just so you know, the spackle represents an explanation and the holes represent the plot holes and the wall represents the plot…Alright, alright, I get it. You're not stupid. I don't have to explain my extremely philosophical and deep metaphor to you because you guys are not hippo-pot-o-monstroses-quipp-edalio-phobics! (By the way, anyone who can tell me what that word means WITHOUT looking it up in the dictionary, Googling it, or researching it in any way, form, or fashion, is pretty freaking amazing. The meaning is great. Trust me!).

Okay, I can't wait any longer! Let's delve into the episode with an open mind and our giggle-boxes all charged up and ready for action!

Merlin goes to the library to get a book for Gaius. Why Gaius can't get off his butt and fetch it himself is beyond me. Merlin is NOT his servant! He has enough to deal with with Arthur ordering him around constantly. Must Gaius really send Merlin to do his errands? It might do him some good to get out of his chambers for a while! Seriously, like nearly every time we see Gaius he is either in his rooms (usually at the dinner table with Merlin singing Dora the Explorer) or in the throne room, giving Uther advice that the king is sure to ignore.

Merlin is told by the librarian that the last time he saw the book, it was in the east wing. And Merlin (bless him) starts heading west! He's just like me in that respect! Except I think I'm worse. Like I get lost trying to find my way across the street. I believe my sense of direction was stolen from me at birth (probably by Uther, because it's easier to blame him than admit that I have issues with finding my way around). Thankfully, our little librarian man says something along the lines of, "East is that way."

Merlin is all, "Well, yeah, I knew that." (Slight paraphrase.) Love it! That's seriously what I do. If I start going the wrong direction and a friend corrects me, I immediately respond with, "Uh, yeah, I totally knew that…I was just testing to make sure you knew where you were going…and you passed!"

Merlin finds the book and it is on the top shelf of the bookcase. Oh, dear. Merlin's pretty tall and gangly (like Ron Weasley but even more adorable!), but even he can't reach the book. Instead of asking the librarian for help, or hunting down one of those step-stools or even one of those awesome sliding ladders like the one in Ollivander's in Harry Potter 1, Merlin decides that climbing on the bookshelf is the best way to get at that baby.

No, Merlin, don't do it. Trust me. I give you this advice from experience, for I, too, have made the mistake of using my bookshelf as a ladder. I didn't get the book I was after, but I did get very acquainted with the floor and, briefly…an angel named Stephan.

But when Merlin steps on the shelf, something awesome happens—the bookshelf swivels around, taking Merlin into a secret room behind the bookshelf. And I said holy cow! This is just like every single Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys book ever published! (I know this because along with being a total Merlin fangirl, I am also a Hardy Boys fanatic that used to be crazy over Nancy Drew but got over it when I found out how incredibly amazing Joseph Hardy is. Just sayin'.) Anyway, I couldn't help but wonder if Carolyn Keene or Franklin W. Dixon chipped in to co-write this episode.

Random, probably pointless piece of trivia that will probably go in one of your ears and out the other…actually, since you're reading this, perhaps it will go in one eye and out the other…but I'm not sure if that's even possible, but anywho…DID YOU KNOW that Carolyn Keene and Franklin W. Dixon never existed? The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew series were both created by Edward Straightmeyer (forgive me if I spelled that wrong), and then the books were written by ghostwriters and even now, the books that are out are still written by many different people that all go under the alias of Dixon and Keene. ANYWAY, told you that it was most likely pointless but if it shows off my vast knowledge of all things classic mystery, then it's all good.

So yeah, I took about two paragraphs trying to make the point that the secret hitch on the bookshelf flipping over into a secret room is SO something that happened in nearly every original Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys novel. But hey, the thirties are coming back, so why not? Next thing we know, we'll all be saying "Golly!" "Gee Whiz!" and "Great Leaping Irishmen!" (No lie, Chief Collig actually said this in a Hardy book.)

Okay, okay…sorry about that. I totally digressed and forgot what I was talking about for a moment. Back to the best, most amazing, most incredible show EVER! (No, not Phineas and Ferb, although that one comes in second.)

So Merlin is in this secret room of doom (sorry I couldn't resist—it was a "doom" phrase AND it rhymed, c'mon, can you blame me for jumping at the opportunity? Carpe Diem, y'all. Seize the day.) where all this magic paraphernalia is stored. Merlin sees a pretty cool magic book (which will come into play later in this episode, although it took about four times of watching the darn thing to make the connection…sometimes those dots just won't connect for me.). Then he stubs his toe on this box and the box grunts. Ooooh! Whatever could this mean!

Apparently, it means that there is something inside. Merlin tries to open the box but it is locked. So he decides to use magic to open it.

Okay, let's stop right here. I was going to try and let this one slide, to skim over this little moment, but it's just too ridiculous to pass up.

Dearest Merlin,

I love you, but ARE YOU DAFT, MAN? I understand you being curious about this strange and interesting box that grunts. I get it. I DO. But seriously. How much sense does it make to open it? First of all, the box was in a secret room, locked away so that it would be kept a SECRET. Why would it be a secret? Hum, I don't know. It couldn't be because it's something that is potentially dangerous, could it? It couldn't be that there's a REASON for this box to be locked away in a secret chamber behind one of Nancy Drew's bookcases, could it? I mean, seriously, the very idea of the box being hidden is simply preposterous, don't you agree? Not only that, but the stinking box is locked. LOCKED. Where I come from, a locked box in a secret room doesn't translate to a flashing neon sign that declares "OPEN ME, MERLIN!" No, it translates to an even bigger, more obvious flashing neon sign that declares, "DO NOT OPEN ME, MERLIN, BECAUSE I AM OBVIOUSLY LOCKED FOR A GOOD REASON AND IF YOU WERE THINKING AT ALL YOU WOULD BE PUTTING ME DOWN AND HIGHTAILING IT OUT OF THIS SECRET ROOM OF DOOM." I mean, come on, Merlin. I know you've got a brain hidden somewhere in that cute noggin of yours. Let's not prove Arthur, Gaius, and Uther right when they call you an idiot, because right now, it's really a case of IF THE POINTY WIZARD HAT FITS…and right now, that hat fits you SO well. I'm sorry, my dearest Merlin, because I vowed I would never say this, but this…this really is too silly of you. Merlin, you idiot! Don't. Open. The. Freaking. Box. Of. Doom. Period.

Hugs and kisses,

Your one true love,

Emachinescat

Hopefully I got out all of my feelings about what Merlin does in the first few minutes of the episode out in a clear, calm, and totally un-sarcastic manner in the form of a polite, yet firm, friendly letter. *takes deep breath* Right.

So Merlin uses magic to open the box…and out pops…a weasel! Woohoo! While in the secret room, Merlin freed the goblin, the goblin thought it was all in the fun until POP goes the weasel! Okay, so I need to work on my rendition of the classic nursery rhyme. And no, a real weasel didn't pop out. But I'm not so sure that our little goblin buddy doesn't possess some sneaky weasel-like qualities. I mean, he's sneaky, likes shiny things, makes weird noises, and has a British accent. I mean, how more weaselicious can you get? For all intensive purposes the goblin IS a weasel!

And the goblin (who I don't believe was given a name, so we shall call him Arthur Weasley because, in fact, the goblin was voiced by Mark Williams, who plays the Muggle-loving Weasley dad in the Harry Potter movies) says, "Boo!" And the title sequence begins.

Now, back to our feature presentation!

Arthur Weasley breaks the ice by saying, "Are you going to say something or shall I?" Uh, hate to break it to you Arthur W., but you just said something. So…I think you shall.

Merlin is all like, "You can speak." Wow, Merlin. Why are you so shocked? Why wouldn't Arthur W. be able to talk? I mean, goblins can do all sorts of things—they run banks, collect shiny things, and lick strange things of which there is no telling where they've been. In fact, goblins are just like humans, except shorter and green. So tell me again, WHY wouldn't he be able to talk?

And another thing. This isn't necessarily directed at any one character, but more at the show itself. Don't goblins need to eat? I mean, if goblins are indeed miniature, green humans, then they should at least have a good three meals a day like the rest of us. But apparently, this little fella has been cooped up for a long time (like several decades) in that little box and I know that there isn't any room for fifty years' worth of frozen TV dinners in there. Maybe he was like a bear and hibernated. Or maybe goblins don't eat because the writers of Merlin say so. Who knows? Anyway, if you have an answer, I'd be grateful to hear it.

Arthur W. responds with, "You're a bright one, aren't you?" Wow, if we included Arthur W. in on this competition of wits then the score would be Arthur P. 15, Merlin 12, Arthur W. 1, and Emachinescat 1,000,065.

So Arthur W. starts stretching and says something about how it feels good to be out of there. Maybe I'm just a Disney movie nerd that has WAY too much time on my hands, but my mind instantly went to Aladdin which (along with Mulan and Finding Nemo and Beauty and the Beast) has to be the best animated Disney movie ever. You know the scene where Aladdin rubs the lamp and the Genie pops out and is like, "AAAAAAH, OY! TEN THOUSAND YEARS WILL GIVE YOU SUCH A CRICK IN THE NECK! WHOA, DOES IT FEEL GOOD TO BE OUTTA THERE!" Yeah, that's what popped into my mind. Darn, now I have an urge to go watch Aladdin because I haven't watched it in ages.

I will resist this craving to watch it, though, because if I am watching Aladdin, it means that I am not working on this review.

Back to Merlin and his new friend Arthur W. Arthur W. has decided that it is great fun to throw things at Merlin. Huh. Something else that he and Arthur P. have in common, as well the same first names. They both get enjoyment out of throwing things at Merlin. Merlin tries to get the goblin to shut up, but instead, Arthur W. knocks a vase off of the top shelf, despite Merlin's ordering him not to, and makes a heck of a racket in doing so.

Stupid, stupid Arthur W.

Merlin says, "RIGHT, you are going back in that box until I work out what to do with you!" Yes, Merlin. I'm sure this pesky little goblin is just itching to obey your commands. Goodness, kid, I know you're the prophesied "Emrys" and all, but you aren't exactly at the point where all manner of magical creatures tremble at your feet. If that goblin listens to you, I'll eat my shoe.

Arthur W. looks very sad, and his lip trembles, and he slinks down and perches on top of the box, looking as he if he is about to hop on in. At this point, I am eyeing my shoe disdainfully, wondering if it will taste any better with salt or ketchup on it. Thankfully, though, Arthur W. was just being a tricky little bugger, and jumps onto Merlin's head and leaps away as Merlin is moving forward to shut him in the box. Whew, I'm really glad the goblin didn't obey Merlin, even if it means that he will cause my favorite wizard a lot of problems over course of the episode, because, I'm sorry, but after walking around in the mud all day yesterday, my Nikes look even less appealing than usual.

Merlin attempts to catch Arthur W. in a ratty old blanket, but apparently besides being tricky gold-lovers, goblins also have the ability to turn into a flying speck of light. This is news to me, because if this is true, then the woods behind my house are overrun by goblins. Clever disguise, pretending to be fireflies. But I'm onto them now, the nasties!

Merlin follows the goblin back into the library, where Arthur W. proceeds to kick most of the books on the top shelf—and, conveniently, the one Merlin was needing to get as well—onto Merlin's head, all the while, giving this rather amusing commentary:

ARTHUR W.: (hits Merlin on the back of the head with a book) Bulls-eye!
MERLIN: Someone's going to see you! (Good point Merlin! And regardless if Arthur W. is seen or not, he's making such a racket that I don't see how there's any way that no one hears him. Plot hole number one, bless this show.)
ARTHUR W.: (kicks several more books onto Merlin's head, who shields his face and head from them) Really? I'm just having a little tidy-up! (continues kicking books onto Merlin) Gonna want to get rid of all of this nasty mess up here! No one's had a brush up here for years! Look at it all, old and…alright, that's enough, I'm off!

We then hear the scampering of little goblin feet and a sneaky little "hee hee hee hee," and Merlin chases after Arthur W., but not without scooping up the book that Gaius wants first. He slows to a walk, though, as he passes the librarian.

The goblin has left a path of destruction on his way to Arthur P.'s chambers. Oh dear. This can't be good! Arthur P.'s room is an absolute wreck. How one little goblin could have messed it up so badly in such a short amount of time, I have no idea, but the sheer disaster of the room made even me, the queen of messy rooms, cringe.

Merlin is on his hands and knees, peering under the bed looking for Arthur W. when Arthur P. finds him (and his horribly messy room) and says, "Merlin. I really hope for your sake you have a good explanation for this." Oh trust me, he does, Arthur, but you'd never believe it.

Merlin does have an explanation, but it's kind of—okay very—lame. He says he is spring cleaning.

Okay, this is during—what?—the sixth century or so, right? I'm pretty sure that spring cleaning hasn't been invented yet. Sure, people cleaned in the spring, but it hadn't been coined as "spring cleaning" yet, had it?

Apparently Arthur isn't too impressed with Merlin's answer, either. He points out that it isn't spring, and it certainly isn't clean. I think this could call for a point for Arthur.

Merlin says, "That's because I only just started. You wait until I'm finished, you'll be able to eat your dinner off the floor…not that you'd want to."

Arthur just gives him this strange look, but before he can say anything, there is a crash from out in the hall, which means that the other Arthur is on the move again. Merlin dashes away to take care of the problem, leaving Arthur P. very confused.

Merlin follows Arthur W. to Morgana's room, where the goblin is busy going through her jewelry and although Merlin chases him out the window, he makes off with Morgana's sleeping bracelet. Yipes. This can't be good. Instead of getting out of Morgana's room while he can, Merlin starts picking up her jewelry. Gwen sees him, tells him that she's not exactly sure it suits him, and Merlin looks embarrassed.

Merlin tells Gaius what happens and Gaius says that Merlin has unleashed a goblin. Apparently, goblins love gold more than anything else and will do anything, no matter how dangerous, to get their hands on it. And when I say dangerous, I don't mean dangerous for the goblin. No, I mean dangerous for everyone else.

What happens next is pure and simple brilliance. Arthur barges into Gaius's chambers, telling Gaius that Uther needs him for an urgent matter of great importance. Gaius and Merlin are warned that if they value their lives, they will not even think about laughing, at which point I am fully anticipating something hilarous and am snorting in laughter.

Uther is bald. BALD! While this may not be rib-tickling hilarious alone, the sulky expression on his face and the way he was hiding behind his changing screen made it just…just…brilliant. Uther has no ha-air, Uther has no ha-air! Hahahahaha! This was so funny. It just made me happy!

Again, I know my glee at Uther's discomfort is petty and childish, but again—I can't stand the guy, so it's okay.

Merlin and Gaius have the following conversation on their way back:

GAIUS: Only an enchantment could cause Uther to lose his hair like that. I've no doubt the goblin is to blame. We must catch it before it does any real damage.
MERLIN: (bursts into laughter) Did you see Uther's face? (I know, right, Merlin? It was EPIC, pure and simple. Again, I chant gleefully, "Uther has no ha-air, Uther has no ha-air! Hahahahaha! Na-na-na-boo-boo!")
GAIUS: Merlin, what do you think Uther will do the person responsible for releasing the goblin?
MERLIN: (smile vanishes) We need to catch it, how do we do that? (ha, bless him, the poor dear!)

Gaius says that they can catch the goblin, but first they are going to need to set a trap—and for that, they need lots of gold.

So Merlin decides to sneak into Arthur P.'s chambers that night. He manages to get his hands on a large chest filled to the brim with gold coins—who keeps a freaking box of gold under their freaking bed? Oh wait, Prince Arthur, that's who, the bugger—and nearly makes it out unhindered, but knocks some stuff over.

By the way-Arthur is sleeping without a shirt on, so we have yet another point to add to shirtless Arthur scenes. Wow, so far it's at least a scene an episode. Goodness, I would like to make fun of it or complain, but I just can't. As much as I love Merlin and always will, there's just something about a shirtless Arthur...

But Merlin will ALWAYS be my guy! End. Of. Story. ... Uh, anyway, where was I? Oh right.

Arthur wakes up and Merlin ducks behind a chair. Arthur says, "Who's there?" and Merlin continues to hide behind the chair. So Arthur jumps up and grabs a sword—even now, I'm still not sure where he pulled that sword from—and brandishes it. Merlin then does something awesome. What does he do? He uses his awesome magical powers to make Arthur's canopy fall on his head. Point. Merlin.

Arthur, the big dope, apparently has not figured out that he can simply throw the canopy off of his head. No, he has to flop around, fall of the bed, flail around some more, crash into his wardrobe, and fall to the ground, still thrashing. It's a wonder he didn't run himself through with his sword the way he was carrying on. Still, this was extremely amusing and it's not every day we get to see our "perfect" prince making an idiot of himself, so I didn't really care that what happened was not very logical and borderline stupidity. Then again, this is Arthur we're talking about here. Ohhh, BURN! Point for the Lizinator!

Merlin, like me, finds this all very amusing and sticks around to watch the show until Arthur yells, "GUARDS!" Then Merlin scurries on out of there.

I just wish I could have seen the look on the guards' faces when they saw that their future king had been outwitted by a bed drapery. I can just see it now:

GUARD 1: Prince Arthur, what happened?
ARTHUR: This canopy attacked me—it nearly killed me! It was so terrible, so frightening, and there was nothing I could do to stop it!
GUARD 2: You…er…couldn't just, you know…throw it off of you?
ARTHUR: What do you think I am, some sort of superhero? Not even the bravest knight would have attempted such a feat!
GUARD 1: Oh, boy. This is what we have to look forward to when Uther dies?
GUARD 2: Crap. We're screwed.

I mean, seriously, Arthur. Hee hee. That was just too silly, but too grand all the same!

Merlin and Gaius set a trap for Arthur W., who is either completely blind to any potential danger when it comes to traps or is even stupider than a very stupid stick. The goblin literally follows a trail of gold to a perfectly situated chest of gold bathed in the silver rays of the moon. I mean, this is so obviously a trap that I'm actually embarrassed for Arthur W., the idiot.

Arthur W. takes his time going into the trap though, because he stops every few feet to lick one of the coins. I don't know if gold tastes good or if the goblin loves it so much that even touching it isn't enough, but either way, it's pretty disturbing and very gross.

A scene ensues where Merlin and Gaius join together in a vain attempt to catch the little stinker, but when Merlin's back is turned, the firefly/goblin of doom zips into Gaius's ear. Yuck. That is one of the many places I would never want to set foot in, the others being a vat of nose-drippings, Uther's brain, Chuck E. Cheese's, and a Hannah Montana concert.

Gaius gets this really REALLY comical look on his face after the goblin possesses him. I seriously kept rewinding and pausing it just to see that funny expression. Heehee.

Gaius/Arthur W., whom we will now call Gaius W. for short, smacks Merlin on the back of the head and says, "You let it escape, you stupid boy!" That's not very nice, Gaius W.! That's verbal and physical abuse! You are such a jerk!

Merlin seems rather taken aback, but Gaius W. snaps at him to go after it and "shoo," so Merlin leaves, looking confused. Gaius W. then proceeds to be completely revolting and lick his lips and then lick the gold, which is one hundred billion times grosser than when he was in goblin form. *shudders* Richard Wilson, you can play a sick, sick little man. Blech!

Time passes, I imagine, and we cut scenes. Gaius W. is rooting through the cabinets, throwing stuff over his shoulder, looking for something. The room is even worse than Arthur's was, which is REALLY saying something. Merlin comes in and says, "I can't find the goblin anyw—WHAT HAPPENED?"

Gaius W. says that the pesky goblin ransacked his chambers, which is technically true because Gaius W. IS the pesky goblin. I'd actually use another term other than "pesky" to describe the goblin, but my parents say I'm not allowed to use such words, so we'll go with that.

Gaius W. orders Merlin to clean up the mess and then heads for the door. When Merlin asks where he's going, he says the tavern.

Oi. Really? Gaius? Drinking? Gaius? At a tavern? Really? *snort* Even if he is possessed by Arthur Weasley, it's still hilarious to imagine!

What's even funnier is when Gaius W. beats this HUGE, muscular man at arm wrestling because of the gold that's wagered. I mean, it's grand!

Haha, and the look on that dude's face when he was beaten by a little old man in an arm wrestling competition! It was like… Dude, WTH (which means "What The Helicopter?")?

Wow. This. Is. Epic.

So concludes the first part of my analysis of Merlin Series 3, Episode 3, Part 1. I will be back to talk about Part 2 next week. Until then, check out some of my other stories or go people-bowling (don't ask, just do. Chasing people with a twenty pound bowling ball is more fun than…I don't know…chasing people around with a nineteen pound bowling ball. Trust me. Heehee.)
