I think the writers were, like, "HOSHIT, WE FORGOT TO PUT THE ARTHUR/GWEN IN! TIME TO PLAY CATCH-UP. #clumsily sews het onto this little gay show like Dr. Frankenstein, creating something which never should have been#"

And I can't even feel mad at the writers for it, I just pity them because it's SO CLEAR they're watching vaguely middle-agish movies with good het stories (A Knight's Tale, The Princess Bride) and trying to copy that but they're doing it ALL WRONG!

They rushed right into the Knight's Tale copycat and Johnny Capps tapped his foot nervously against the floor and said "Faster! Faster!" and so they shoved in a kiss and a break-up where they should have spent episodes building it up (or maybe Johnny just wanted to shove all the het into certain episodes instead of drawing it out so they could focus on teh gay in the other eps??).

And in this episode, the writers were watching The Princess Bride for ideas (except for one dude, who got confused and rented Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome instead), except they forgot about toning down the gay and thought, "Well, instead of making this about Gwen and Arthur, how about we make it about Merlin and Arthur? Is there any way to have Merlin say 'As you wish'? Can we drop Merlin from a tower into Arthur's arms?" Well, except the Thunderdome writer. All that one wanted was leather, sparkle, and face masks.
