Ninja Penguins

Started this one with dinner again, so we're most of the way through. A few notes:

It's never occurred to me before, but why did Arthur shoot the unicorn. It's horse shaped. Why not... Try to tame it and ride it into battle? I can't imagine they often hunt horses. Although... Horse meat, I suppose. But the kudos of being the prince who rides a unicorn would surely be immense. Like, this boy is dumb.

Second, Anhora's teleporting is such an extra thing to do. Like he will not finish a sentence without randomly blinking over to somewhere else. It's giving batman villain in the best way.

Third, you're telling me Merlin - who grew up in Ealdor, a farmer entirely dependent on the weather and the land - has never had to eat rat before? Really? That boy has eaten rat. Or if he hasn't, he understands completely that when you're hungry you eat whatever the fuck you have to.

Oh look, it's the hedge maze from the books/films we don't talk about. The music is really putting in the work here to make running past foliage ✨dramatic✨. Those evil, evil hedges.

Possibly Arthur's best moment in the entire show with that goblet. "You know me, Merlin: I never listen to you." A+ No notes. Give that man a crown. Just yes. This is the Arthur we want. This is the Arthur we believe in.
