"lying is wrong" what evangelical nonsense is this???
listen to me. lying is morally neutral. and for many people in shitty situations it's a survival tactic.
lying in order to cause harm is often wrong, because causing harm is generally wrong. lying is also done for a myriad of other reasons, including because it isn't safe to speak truth, or because privacy is a thing and damn what an incredibly invasive question to ask in the first place.
truth is earned, my friend.

Why reboot good shows that ran their course when other unfortunate shows like Kyle XY, Firefly, timeless, and many others deserve a much needed second chance...
About 15 years ago, I watched a movie on TV but sadly didn't retain its name. Years later, (8 to be exact) I embarked on a journey to find this film. It took me two days to find it scrolling through imdb archives. For some reason, I didn't watch it at the time- I forgot why- but still decided not to note the name somewhere because- here's my logic- I found it once I can do it again.
Guess who didn't find it a second time despite the usage of chatGPT?
Yes, me.
because at the end of the day it’s about how love and hate will destroy you equally. it’s about the fact that merlin and morgana both lost themselves because they became so consumed by their love and hate respectively that it made everything else not matter. because merlin loved arthur so much he hollowed himself out for the sake of it and morgana hated uther so much it ate her alive and became all she was
#YES YEAH THIS#its letting another person become your entire life#whether because you hate them more than you love anything or because you love them more than yourself#to the point where morgana saw uther in everything arthur did and merlin saw good in everything arthur did and evil in everyone else#god this show makes me so insane because you did it to yourselves!!#like it didn't have to be that way!!! via @/ifmagicexists
BBC Merlin was already told by Kilgharrah in s2x11 what the Crystal of Neahtid (and by extension Crystal Cave) was used for :D
MERLIN What is the Crystal of Neahtid? KILGHARRAH To those who know how to use it, the Crystal holds great knowledge. MERLIN What kind of knowledge. KILGHARRAH The knowledge of what is, what has been, and what is yet to come. MERLIN Do you mean it can show you the future? KILGHARRAH Amongst other things, yes. MERLIN The Crystal has been stolen.
He was already informed IN S2, the whole time, that the Crystal showed other things aside from "the future." Yet this manservant only fixated on the future part coz of course he would :D
and he also knew that Morgana would never be able to use it.
MERLIN The Lady Morgana. KILGHARRAH (laughs) That witch does not have the power to wield the Crystal. MERLIN Does the druid boy? KILGHARRAH Mordred? It is possible. Why do you ask?
But of course he was more concerned of what a threat the kid Mordred would be and not the clue that only special sorcerers could use that darn thing. :D
MERLIN It's the Crystal. It harbours a terrible power, Gaius. GAIUS It's locked away now. It can do no harm. Unless the damage has already been done. MERLIN I held it. I knew I shouldn't. I knew no good would come of it, but it compelled me to look. I couldn't resist it. I saw things, terrible things. GAIUS Then you've already paid the price. MERLIN But what I saw has not yet come to pass, and I am scared, Gaius. I am really scared of what the future may hold.
And I do understand why he wouldn't touch it right after s2x11 episode...I GET IT THAT HE WAS SCARED.
MERLIN Images. Flashes. I've seen something like this before in the Crystal of Neahtid. TALIESIN What you see here is exactly the same, for the Crystal of Neahtid was hewn from this very cave. Look into them, Emrys. Really look. Much will be revealed.
s3x05 [Merlin turns to look, but jerks away.] MERLIN No! Take me out of here. How do I get back to Arthur? TALIESIN The future is hidden to all but a very few, Emrys. You are one such person. MERLIN No! I've been through this before. TALIESIN Perhaps there is a reason you were brought here at this moment in time. MERLIN What reason? TALIESIN Only the crystals can tell you. They contain futures that are not yet born. The secrets they reveal, Emrys, are unique to you, and you alone. Look into them, Emrys. Really look. Use what you see for good.
but really, to not use it in s3-s5 when they needed information the most??? and when he was already told that he was the only one alive that could use it???
...such cool helpful tool... wasted and abandoned in the camelot vault
BTW TRIVIA! THIS IS ALSO FRENCH MEDIEVAL MERLIN'S POWER BESTOWED TO HIM BY HIS DEMONKIN
But how myght we haue a man of oure kynde that myght speke and haue oure connynge and maystrie worke, and haue the knowleche as we haue of thinges that be don and seide, and of thynges that be past, and that he myght be in erthe conuersant with these other for witeth it wele that soche on myght moche helpe us to be-gile his pepill, like as the prophetes be-giled us, and tolden that we trowe neuer myght haue ben. In the same wise sholde sithe oon telle alle thynges that were don and saide [folio 1b] bothe of that is passed and of thynges that is to come, and be that sholde he be bileved of moche peple.
It's the same with the search of the Diamair in S5. It added nothing to the plot. All the knowledge and what did Merlin get at the end, Arthur's bane is himself.
Just stupid!
