I really loved tonight's ep. But it was a bit rushed for me. I would have preferred this to be a two-parter. And what was up with Percival's blister? That wasn't exactly relevant to the plot...

spoilers in these comments! just in case.

i feel like i need to chime in and say that i loved this episode a lot. i thought angel was fantastic in it. and i'm excited for everything between her and morgana. i love that she's got a plot. and i love how merlin took charge. and i love how in tune he was with arthur's moods and he was the only one who knew how to approach arthur.
i love that this episode focused a lot of gwen and elyan's relationship.
elyan dying was a huge huge thing i never saw coming and i screamed.
and with being mostly spoiler-free, the ending was a plot twist for me too.
this season has been great for me so far and am loving how much they're pushing boundaries and keep surprising me.
thanks for putting these together, as always!
yay for positive stuff! and positive comments. heh.
