Why this vid kicks ass
Visually powerful, but also emotionally wrenching, "Man on Lockdown" is an intense vid, not in any sense a happy, shippy ArthurxMerlin eye candy vid. But I love it even though it's painful to see Arthur fail to protect his people.

Vidder's summary: "The only necessity for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." There are battles for which Arthur will risk everything. These are not those battles.
