Back to Camelot

how insane must it have felt to be an actor table reading for bbc merlin. alright anthony this week, you are driven mad by memories of the children you killed in your genocide. next week? bald.

OK I need to start a list of where canon could have diverged and destiny could have been fulfilled, with Merlin and Arthur uniting the land of Albion

Leave the bug in Uther's ear in 1x06 and let Arthur believe it was a brain haemorrhage (Edwin "left" and couldn't save him, what a shame)

Let an innocent child die in 1x08. I don't think any of them should have actually done that

Take back Excalibur or shove Uther out to fight his undead brother-in-law in place of Sir Pellinor as soon as Gaius explained the situation

The way that Merlin says, “It could have been me in that cage,” especially so soon after the witchfinder incident… yeah

I started watching Merlin under the assumption that I’d get some fun history nerd moments and that Merthur was just another fannon mlm ship with little canonical basis but HOLY SHIT I’ve literally seen cannon straight couples with less sexual tension than whatever the fuck those two had going on.
