I have just finished viewing the ep after many interruptions..Looks@son. But I loved it. I love adv episodes and it was really shot good. Elyan/Gwen brother sis bonding was lovely.And I think Angel gave her best performance in this series so far:)
Loved this episode. Gwen and Elyan's family chemistry was amazing, you could see right away they were siblings. (Also excellent casting there! They even look like they could be related) I love her annoyance it was like the best proof positive that he was her brother. Adn she brought up Tom, I don't know how to deal with the fact that the Merlin writers have been experimenting with continuity this season. SHOW IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU'RE ACTUALLY GOOD TV, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU

So in love with Gwen and Elyan. BEST SIBLINGS EVER, Y/Y?
Adn she brought up Tom, I don't know how to deal with the fact that the Merlin writers have been experimenting with continuity this season. SHOW IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU'RE ACTUALLY GOOD TV, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU.
They're actually getting GOOD. This is without a doubt the best series so far. I'm so happy with the writers. I mean obviously they're still failing in a million ways, but last year they were failing in a million and ONE ways. IMPROVEMENT.
But does Morgana really have agency this season? O_o I mean, when all is said and done, she has been acting as basically nothing more than Morgause's errand girl, at her beck and call, not really practicing any magic deliberately or on her own, only carrying spells for Morgause. The scene when Morgause was snapping, "Then your work isn't finished yet" emphasized this dynamic ever more. :(
And lol, she did mention Tom, but on the other hand would Tom really no mention her sibling before he died, like, "if I die, could you tell..."? It's so obvious that this brother just popped out of nowhere, lol...but oh well, props for trying! :p (It's like with the Sidhe last week--I was so impressed that they actually remembered a villain from season 1, only to then realize that if this plot was 20 years in the making then they wouldn't have been all okay with Sophia killing Arthur a mere two years ago, lol).
The worst moment was right after Gwen was kidnapped and Morgana looks out of her window and smirks. The girl who's taken care of you for YEARS and whom you used to love was just assaulted and kidnapped and will now go through extreme emotional torture.
I BLOODY KNOW~!!!!! I LOVE EVIL!MORGANA AND IM ONE OF THE ONES THAT LIKES HER LIKE THAT. BUT CMON WHAT DID GWEN DO TO YOU!!!!!!!!!SHE LOOKED AFTER YOU AND NOW SHE'S HAPPY THAT SHE'S GONNA GET KIDNAPPED!!!!!!!!!!!I also hated the fact that Morgana just wanted Arthur dead. I know why she does because she resents Uther for the fact that he hates magic, used magic to create Arthur and won't acknowedge her because of Arthur. But why? Why Morgana why. Especially when he went back to save you!!!!!!!!!!!!
3. "No, you just poison them." This was the one scene during which I actually felt for Morgana. i
( ... )
I actually don't in that scene. Yes, what Merlin did was wrong, but Merlin had to do it to save everyone. If he didn't then everyone would have died. Yes, Morgana didn't know how much invloved in that plot she was, but even so. She pointed out in episode 1 that she understood that Merlin did it to save everyone. So well she may have a reason to be angry (many reasons to be angry), that doesn't accuse her actions. To me anyway... a lot of people are going to disagree with me on this. The thing is, he never even approached the issue with her before trying to kill her. He never gave her a chance. I agree that he poisoned her because he had to (and whose side she was on wouldn't have mattered in the end -- it was Morgana or Camelot), but in Morgana's eyes he betrayed her. She just wanted to get rid of a dictator. She didn't know she'd become a vessel for that spell. And LOL, she only said that because she was playing him. She didn't understand why he did it/forgive him for what he did ALL

I know either way it wouldn't matter, because in Morgana's eyes he betrayed her. And there is one thing about Morgana that we know: her ability to hold a grudge. Maybe thats why Merlin wasn;t open about that. Because he knew either way, Morgana would still hold a grudge. I can sort of understand that too. I mean he did poision her (despite being for important reasons), so I sort of undertsand why morgana is angry. WHY TAKE IT

Lol, I think that the main point that she was making is that when Merlin was saying, "I could never imagine hurting my friends," he was being a hypocrite and forgetting that one BIG time that he indeed did so! ;) She was pointing out the flaw in his statement...even if one thinks Merlin had been doing the right thing, he was still hurting his friend, and thus was wrong in what he had just said.
LOLLL. Imagine if they killed Arthur this series because they REALLY wanted to twist the legend. XD
I do not understand that part. I was literally yelling at my tv screen laptop screen "kiss him!" but she didn't.
On the one hand I was screaming "kiss him!!" as well, but I also think she was just so OVERWHELMED by his admission and her own reaction to it. The last time he said this to her she just looked...sad. This time she looked shocked and pleased and...happy. She's finally happy. She has a family again and the man she loves loves her in return...she was too overwhelmed to please us.
AND IT'S BEEN TEN EPISODES NOW. I have actually been keeping count. They better work in a smooch soon or I'm gonna CRY.
(And ohmygod how awesome would it be if Gwaine came back and Elyan was around and he'd be all "why are you hitting on my baby sister, she's Arthur's" and Gwen would be "ELYAN!" and Gwaine would just laugh and flip his hair and IT WOULD BE AWESOME I TELL YOU. AWESOME. ♥ This. How soon can u write this script? I need it, like, now. Gather the cast & let's get thise scene shot!

Maybe by season 5 they'll be down to just failing in 500 thousand ways? I LIVE IN HOPE.
