Glad I wasn't the only one traumatised by last week. Well, not glad per se, but ...

Another great recap; I always look forward to these, sometimes more than the show when it's annoying me. I could definitely get behind a Gwen/Morgana thing too and I kind of hope it lasts more than one episode, but I know it won't. I did think Morgana was at least a little bit genuine, though.

Ugh, yeah, I'm still having trouble with last week's episode. I sat down and rewatched it from start to finish after I had finished this week's recap, hoping I would be in a better frame of mind but, no, still angry.

Thanks! I'm really grateful that they have explored Morgana and Gwen's friendship at all, really, since we know their interactions won't last, but it would be great to see it continue. I like that it makes us a bit more sympathetic towards Morgana, to realise that she lost more than just her crown during all this, even if it does carry a lot of the blame.

. Gwen assures Morgana that it won’t work. “He’s not stupid.” Ahahahaha. Ahahahahahaha. Ha. Ha. Heh.

Thanks for the laugh!! Fun recap! I have a feeling it's getting harder and harder to make the recaps funny given how dark and sad the episodes are getting and all the lack of consistency and logic, the numerous plot holes and so many instances of character stupidity.

Hee, that line was a gift. And the show IS getting quite depressing each week. Sometimes I sit there at the end of the episode, staring at a blank screen for ten minutes afterwards, just muttering WHYYYYYY? I am honestly now a fan of them using Gwaine as comic relief because I really cling to it these days, no matter how misplaced it seems.

On a slightly unrelated note, Santiago Cabrera (Lancelot) just showed up on ep. 6 of this season's "Dexter" and looks like he'll be there for a few more eps ( ... )

OMG I have been watching Dexter too! I got so excited and flaily when he walked onto the screen with his oral fixation and his "Best first date ever" with Deb and then the crushing realisation hit home as I remembered what happens to most guest characters on this show. First Isaac, then Lancelot... I do not approve of this trend ( ... )

Oh man, I'll bet you're right - they killed off Elyan so they could promote Mordred (because they can't afford all those actors at the same time). And yeah, it WILL be interesting to see how Merlin ends up in the bedroom with Arty and Gwen when she tries to stab him in his sleep (I just know it's gonna happen ( ... )
