With Gwen now being Queen in the next series, I wait to see whether the writers finally allow her to grow away from Arthur and Lancelot - and I agree she has more chemistry with Lancelot than she does Arthur.
Gwen to me wouldn't look out of place in a more sexist era of television drama - dispite her ability to sword fight every now and then - and it doesn't help that her friendship with Merlin has been all but dropped in the last series. Like you say, she's all about the guys and being a future Queen - how often has she told Arthur that he'll "make a great King one day" since series 1? :)
Morgana this series? More a pantomine villian than a complex character with shades of gray... The show definately writes better for the boys than the girls - not that I mind seeing lots of Merlin and Arthur.. :)
