What is it about this show that they depict the mentally unstable as having unbrushed hair? First Uther, now Morgana. At least we know Gwaine's ok...

Morgana should get recruiting! What happened to her Pirate bandits from last week?

Yeah, I think Arthur definitely has doubt about Agravaine. I don't think he externalises it though. He is being rational about it. Agravaine did bring Gaius back and Gaius obviously didn't contradict the events. I think Arthur senses things, but doesn't always act on them. He sort of tucks them away.

Yeah, I don't remember Morgana in the Gwaine's first episode in season 3. She must have been smirking else where.

They are really hitting us over the head with the FIVE kingdoms spiel this season. I wonder why that is? Is it so we can cross them off our list when Arthur unites Albion?

I was so glad of the ARthur/Gaius scene. Especially as I was having mad love for the ones in last weeks episode. It was like someone answered my wish!

I don't think it did have a wow factor as an episode, it wasn't all crash! bang! wallop! That's actually why I quite liked it, and why it stood out for me. It was all very whispery and quiet. There never seemed to be more than 3 people in a scene. Maybe the odd extra here and there, but the scenes felt very empty of clutter to disguise the dishonesty. It felt that the sound/music was a lot less that some episodes, which added to the quietness.

I'm a bit worried about where Arthur is next week. All the Knights and Gwen are on the field trip with Merlin, where is he? He wasn't in the trailer at all. Hmmm...

We should get worried if Gwaine's hair ever takes a turn for the worse.

That's a good question! Perhaps someone else gave them a better offer (like a ship).

Oo that's a good way of putting it. He is the kinnd of person to keep it locked up tight inside.

Yeah I can't even recall if she was in that episode...

Apparently the Anglo-Saxons had five kingdoms so that might be where the writers got the idea from. It's daft but... this is Merlin.

Me too! It was just SO GOOD.

I think it really did move the serious themes on quite a bit. It was unstated but that worked for the drama.

I have a poll in my LJ. I suspect garland making or getting George drunk. All whilst running around naked because Merlin isn't there to dress him.

Maybe the Pirate Bandits got their scripts mixed up and they're already laying in wait for next week.

Five Kingdoms = Nine Rulers. Who's sharing??

Ooo myabe so.

Hmmm Alined and Alinor perhaps?

Odin does not seem the sharing type.

The question I'm asking is who did Cendred's kingdom go to? I highly doubt he has any legit heirs (I didn't see Mrs Cendred knocking around). So either it went to some distant relative, or the other kingdoms divided it up among themselves.
