I loved this episode - I thought it showed so much promise. (Apparently, I have learned nothing about this show.)
I think the Key to All Knowledge might be something they invented entirely themselves, which: good on them.
Completely with you on Merlin in this episode. He was the person I liked least here, which is bad since he's my favourite character. Lighten up a bit, Merlin, please. (And reveal your magic, pronto.)
It looked to me like Morgana and Aithusa had been imprisoned together, which would bond anyone, one suspects. I loved how he was kind of both on Morgana's side and Merlin's - that's just what I didn't dare to hope for. I thought Morgana's whole storyline was very promising indeed.
(I know, I said I wouldn't fall for this kind of thing again. Damn you, show.)
I loved this episode...Merlin didn't bother me--he's just obsessed with protecting Arthur.

But we all know (as does Merlin no doubt) that nothing good will come of Arthur welcoming Mordred into his inner circle. So I'm very
