All the knights: *get enchanted by yet another evil female magic-user*
Gwen: IDGI. Why have only the knights been enchanted? Why not us as well?
Merlin: You're a woman. All the victims have been men.
Gwen: So why haven't you fallen under her spell?
Merlin: ...
:DDDDD
ETA: GWEN WITH A SWORD. If this show could just get over its issues with women using magic, I would be the happiest.
ETA2: Also, I ran across this article recently. Jolly good article (Paterson Joseph on the possibilities of costume drama with black actors), comments 75% idiots as per usual, first comment (about Merlin, the 'gay-themed kids' drama') made me lol. So it's not just us, then. (Of course, then the idiots get explaining how Gwen and Elyan shouldn't be in Merlin because it is HISTORICALLY INACCURATE!!1!1 as if they hadn't read the article, and as if we weren't talking about Merlin in the first place ffs.)
