But yeah, basically. The worst part is that I was actually semi-proud at Arthur for using his brains not just going all MASSACRE like Uther would have. And since I'm a total stan I'll just keep singsonging that it's all because Agravaine is rotting his brain from the inside but if he has in any way a similar reaction to Merlin's reveal then I don't think I can back him up anymore. But I actually liked how he was incredibly furious but tried to control it in their last scene and he apologized. And he did say to Merlin he thinks Gwen is a good person but it's not even fair to talk about the Gwen aspect of that scene because it was all about Merthur foreshadowing~.
You perfectly listed the only good parts, and I was too busy hating on how they cheapened out the entire Gwencelot romance to care about much else.

Arthur does not get points for not murdering people. And Agravaine rotting his brain is not a good excuse because Arthur DOES doubt him.
Oh God if he banishes Gwen and no return ON PAIN OF DEATH just for kissing someone she thought was dead and would never see again and it was like the SECOND day he was back? Oh god, I just want to grab Merlin and run NOW to spare him the rage Arthur is going to go at him with. He only held back from striking Gwen because she was a girl. He full out went at Lancelot with the intent to kill. If the writing would characterize it as him falling apart because of Uther, maybe i could scrounge up a half cup of sympathy, but nope.
the only point this episode gets is not hitting the rest button. BUT I WISH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD THEY HAD. ie in the sense that this episode LITERALLY NEVER HAPPENED. :(

LALALALALALA. Arthur is an enormous prat and his actions are NOT right but I'm still able to reason for my sanity. The main problem is that if they characterized him well and with a capable brain than he should have figured out Merlin has magic 3 years ago. And I think the main reason his character is butchered because they keep dumbing him down to prolong the tensions of Agravaine and Merlin's secret.
No this really shouldn't have. And to think we were actually ANTICIPATING Lancelot's comeback. D':

It's just so painful he was so torn over Lancelot this episode but once it came up that he could harm Arthur he went all BUSINESS MODE

....now i feel inadequate :(
i feel like it made merlin 2x angry BECAUSE he knew real lancelot would never intentionally hurt his king.
i fear for morgana now tbh if merlin sees her again o_O curb-stomp-battle probably doesn't begin to describe his reaction

Yeah I agree and that's why I still cried at the end when he brought the real Lancelot back. Colin Morgan deserves all the awards, all of them.
And Merlin really needs to snap and go all BAMF on all of them already.

This season has to end with Arthur really embracing the whole equality thing with law class. I ended up rewatching the episode with my mom and gosh it irritated me so much, all of them sitting at the table (Arthur, Gwen, Knights & Agravaine) and Merlin is still standing there as a mere servant aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
