All you need is love

It's rare that you get folks bonding over good news but at work (and from the looks on LJ too) everyone was talking and smiling about the miners being rescued from the mine in Chile. Yes I did tear up just a little *sniff* Here's to them all being safely above ground and reunited with their friends and families by this time tomorrow.

Keeping with the love vibe and of course the next topic is Merlin and the latest ep. Suffice to say it was a 'serious' one and in terms of plot/character there is plenty to mull over and chew on. However, since this is me I will simply go over 2 scenes from the opening 10 minutes. As a primer for this I would recommend you read 'The Week The Sassy Pose Came to Camelot' by magog_83. Hilarious and snarky future AU wherein Merlin and Morgana are happily magical in King Arthur's court, serving and mocking the once and future King. I mention this fic as there's a scene in it that came to mind very strongly during the ep...

( SPOILERS for latest ep 'The Crystal Cave'... )

And thus, having imparted great thoughts of profound shallowness to you, my work today is done :)
