Well the thing is Lancelot isn't in the "original" mythology at all. He was added later on.

There is no Morte D'Arthur prior to TH White's Once and Future King
Poor Katie.
How do you tell a women that she looks better, sexier even, as a homeless tramp?
That if she really wants to pull the top class blokes that she has to let herself go and give up? Shop at the Samaritans, and thread gum through her hair.
It would break her.
Morgana can still Marry onto the thrown.
Caligula wasn't that long ago.
But really.
What's more difficult?
Marrying your brother, or marrying Gwen after she's killed Arthur?
Gay marriage in the 6th century.
That'll show'em.
Whosoever "em" are.

Morgana looks fantastic, I would love to see more of her in the show. Hopefully we will. The last two episodes were not my favorites. I preferred 'Lamia' to 'Lancelot', even though Lamia was a throwback to first season's use of monster of the week and Merlin stumbling through the episode, it didn't depend quite so much on Angel Colby. Her Guinevere is just so dull to me. I just don't feel all that much chemistry between her and the rest of the cast.
Yeah I think she's always been the weakest member of the cast. Too often she just isn't given enough to do, and even when she is she doesn't dominate the screen as she perhaps should do. Say what you like about McGrath's pantomime acting/sneering at times, but at least you know she's there!
They're children.
You ever wonder why there are no 30 plus something year old knights?

Yeah you do think they'd have taken the notion a trifle more seriously...
Loved this week's episode anyway, I was expecting a bit of a filler episode, and I guess it was, but it was really well done. Most of the time the waterlogged child was creepy, and the episode managed to wrongfoot me. I thought Arthur was out of sorts because he'd been possesed by Uthur and that Elyias would have to symbolically 'kill' him--that he was responsible for the massacre was a nice touch and James played it very well.

Uthur killed them because they were loyal to the old king or magic?
Seriously, a knight with a magic sword, or a knight with a sword.
Fuck Uthur, there's no way those old knights are going to throw away their magic and fight fairly.
Or they did and died quickly on a levelled playing field.
(Answered my own damn question.)
The last episode set up the finale well enough, I wish there had been more Merlin in it than there was, but I imagine that will be fixed up in the next two. I hope in the future we'll have more of Merlin and Morgana in scenes together. Colin and Katie play off each other so well that I wish they'd do season five more like this

Wait, wait, wait... Ames is English!!!!!???
Good lord and I thought she was hot as a yank.
Yum and wow, in no particular order.

I love how Agravaine gets the unflinching, explosion walk in the preview. Could that guy get any more cliche?
Anyway, good episode. Princess Whatshername was way more interesting than Gwen, so I'm sorry Arthur ditched her. Although Gwen has the whole cleavage thing going for her, so it's not a total loss. And is it just me or does the upcoming season finale seem like a complete rehash of the last season finale?

It is, Morgana and Arthur could put a revolving door on the throne room for each other. Maybe they will take next year with Arthur looking to regain the throne? I did like this last episode, I thought the actress would have made a much better Gwen than Angel. I just don't care much for her performance, it is too uninteresting. This actress for Mithian seemed to interact with a lot more feeling with Arthur and Merlin than Angel Colby does.
You know, if I was the writer for this episode I would have had Arthur kill Gwen with that arrow. It has nothing to do with me hating the character, but it would be a fantastic way to shake up the mythos of the show. If Gwen can die before marrying Arthur, than the audience can't predict what's going to happen in future episodes which removes that Foregone Conclusion problem that drags so many prequels down.
If I was a writer for this show...
She would have caught the bolt with her cleavage.
Besides, she dies, meets Lancelot, and they fight their way back to the land of the living.
Now, what would have fucked with the mythology is if the new princess form last week was also called Gwenivere, and she's all "Just call me Gwen."
Saw Uthur on the Inbetweeners moivie yesterday.

That is an interesting thought and one that seems doable as Gwen has pretty much fulfilled everything that the character did in the mythology and literature.
