    Merlin's Pause: You Decide: Quest 2 (Spoilers)

    Okay. So great episode. There is enough buzz about this episode to charge a ZPM! My question to my fellow Gaters is this:

    While in the cave
    Spoiler:
    after talking with Daniel, Merlin says "...she must have seen something in you to believe you to be worthy." The camera then zooms in on Merlin. Cam and the others enter the cave, and Merlin looks frozen in meditation for about 30 seconds and then opens his eyes and states, "...before I agree to join with you, I need to know that you are willing to do whatever must be done to see it through" (i.e. referring to building the Sangral and defeating the Ori).


    My questions is this: What was Merlin thinking about for those 30 seconds? Or, rather, what was he doing?

    Maybe he was using his copyrighted brand of magic to either talk to an Ancient (Oma?), unlock some magical device somewhere or just summoning up a mental ability (like cueing it up...) that he know he would soon use.

    I mean, we can't expect Merlin to run at full steam immediately after being let out of stasis. It'd been a thousand years since he had a cup of coffee!

        Merlin just trying to see what Oma saw seems like the most obivious explanation to me and if we don't get told explicity then i will lean towards that. Another thought just occured to me though, anyone seen underworld where seleen plans her message to victor maybe thats what merlin was doing to daniel giving him a message through the memories.

            Thanks Paulanthony. I was trying to find the posts having to do with Merlin's pause. I actually prefer #3 on your list:

            Spoiler:
            3. Sending a sub-space signal to awaken Arthur from his hibernation so
            that he can regroup with the Knights of the Round Table, and return to
            Camelot to claim excalibur as was foretold in the prophesies.

              Merlin might of been reading daniel's mind, because he says to Daniel that Oma might of seen something in daniel and Merlin wanted to see as well.

                I haven't seen the episode yet, but from what it sounds like, the pause of Merlin was probably.....
                .... a dramatic pause. Just to emphasize a point.

                When the episode is shown in Canada, I'll be able to judge more accurately.

                  That makes sense. I think he was trying to see if he was indeed worthy.

                      That is a definite possibility. But I haven't seen the episode yet, so I can't give too good of an opinion on it myself yet.

                        Yeah but we seem to have the same train of thought usually.

                            I think he was just deciding if he could trust them or not.
