Merlin 1.13 — Maybe I just wasn't in the right mood after a day with a gazillion Vanillekipferln, but to be perfectly honest, this episode didn't work for me very well. A few lovely moments (Gwen and Morgana, Gwen and Arthur, Arthur and Merlin when Merlin says good-bye, Uther and Arthur), but entirely too many (near-)deaths and resurrections and noble self-sacrifices for one episode, and all a bit over-dramatic, with a rather odd pacing. Meh.

Still, though, interesting premise for next season...

I do think that Merlin & Gaius should tell her soon, what they know of her being a Seer. It's definitely one of those situations where ignorance of a secret is just as dangerous as knowing one, if not more. I can totally understand their reasons for not telling her, but considering the way the visions are just keep getting worse and intense each time -- it's doing Morgana harm already by not knowing why. And she was *just* barely keeping it together in this episode.
