I thought S2 had some great improvements on the plot and story-telling front but this wasn't backed up with the character relationships.
I do wonder why they oushed A/G int here so early without takign the time to build up a proper friendship between them first. I think they did suddenly think they needed a het ship. A shame since Arthur and Gwen weren't really at the true love tage. think it's coloured my entire perception of that pairing and the way it was handled coupled with the legends means I'll never root for it. I like the Arthur/Morgana dynamic and the Merlin/Morgana one but Artur/Gwen just seems...bland in a way. Forced almost.
I think if they ever bother withthe reveal it will be Gwen who finds out first and persuades Arthur Merlin is nto evil. which rankles me a bit since I think it is imposrtant Arthur shows some intelligence and perhaps finds otu and works it out on his own. That look at the beginning of 3x01 before he makes the hide and seek remark suggested he might be getting a wee bit of a clue. But apparently not.
I just hope the humour scenes between the biys don't outweigh the emotional ones. Becuase they are young they are bound to blow off steam and their relationship will always have that element of it. I just hope they get the more serious bonding moments too.
Arthur/Morgana/Merlin is my new favourite threesome. It does work well. Even given the fact Morgana is 'evil' this year. I hope they all get to interact more. i would love it if the three fo them had some decent interaction together.
The magic!fail is another thing that makes me sad. We should be seeing magic. We should.
