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 thought the episode served well as a season finale, and I really like that Gaius was getting screentime being more than just exposition. His character deserves to be fleshed out more. But yeah it's definitely rushed. One of complaints I often have with SV (heh, can't help the SV comparisons) is how I've always thought they should have two-parters more. And I'm not too happy with the absolute lack of Morgana actively doing anything. Heck, at the very least she should have another scene with Arthur.
