Happy Katie!

Posting to say I'm watching a Hallmark movie right now (yes I'm kind of sometimes addicted to Hallmark channel movies even with the schmaltzy music) and Katie's in it!  She's family of a duke, lol!  Roger Moore!  The best part, she smiles a lot!  I miss her smile on Merlin.  NO evil grins!!

Oh and on the topic of Merlin, I enjoyed today's very much

LOL I dl that movie the other week and Katie is fab in it and its good seeing her playing a good, nice character for a change.

I liked this week's episode too. I was waiting for your thoughts on it. I would love to hear them.

I'm also very much looking forward to next week's episode and seeing Gwen and how A/G begin resolving their relationship!

I wish Arthur thought Gwen was enchanted like he thought Elyan was, and wish Merlin figured she was

I think the reason that hey didn't is because they are aware that Gwen had feelings in the past for Lancelot. For Arthur I think the insecurities came into play for him. Merlin, on the other hand, should have noticed though because he knew that Lancelot was a shade.

Yes, Bradley was wonderful in that final scene and I do think this is a set up to Arthur slowly coming around to the idea of magic.

I haven't read those spoilers I think you are talking about. I think they are untrue as the producer on her twitter said they were false. So don't tell me anything.

I don't get the scene with Merlin. When does he see her? The visiting princess is a bit annoying and kind of a waste of time that could be used for more Gwen scenes or whatever, but okay. Uh, Arthur's hunting and he hits Gwen? Is that what's possibly going to happen? Merlin's getting like "Once Upon a Time" lol! It looks good. I'm excited for it all.Sophie and some others have

Yes, the feelings for Lancelot were a big issue and have always been, even if they both tried to put it in the background. It's a matter of distrust there and now that she admitted she loved Arthur etc, I think it was finally put to rest, at least mostly. I have to say, I do love mostly how the show has handled this. I hate triangles, but this was one, when it was normal Lancelot, I enjoyed watching. I like how it kept Guinevere someone who is really good, just was torn at first. I don't think she was ever in love with Lancelot, but it mattered to her that he paid attention to her at a time when Arthur didn't back in season one

I think that it is better this way in some ways. That its clear that Gwen loves Arthur and has chosen him. It's just that they are not yet aware that Gwen was enchanted and that is why she was snogging him. I do hope that either way that they forgive each other and actually talk about these issues because they haven't really talked about G/L except for 4x09...

Would you rather he find out about the enchantment first or that he just realize that living without her is too hard?

I'm torn on that only because I don't want him to forgive her just because it was a spell. And I don't want him to look like a fool for what he originally decided. I think both ways have merit.

And I think it gives magic and Morgana too much power to say she had total control there. Gwen's feelings I don't think were totally false, just deeply from the past and Morgana reawakened them unjustly. So it does make total sense how Arthur reacted in that ep. He was wary the whole time of Lancelot. It showed in his face a lot.

Gwen used to desire Lancelot. I just stay strong with she didn't love him. Her love, her life has always been in Camelot and with Arthur really.

Umm not sure. I kind of want both though. I want him to know that Gwen didn't do it intentionally and that she really does love Arthur and has chosen him.

I do think he needs to come out because that enchantment only made Gwen's past feelings (of desire I believe and not love because Gwen barely knows Lancelot). Either way they do need to work it out and Arthur needs to be reassured that Gwen loves him and has chosen him because her love for him is deeper than anything she felt for Lancelot.
