User blog:Emily Windsnap/Review for Arthur's Bane Part 2

EPIC! EPIC! EPIC! ok, ahem, here's my review for the epicness:

What an episode! The storyline was amazing, the characters were great. Horrible cliffhanger though...anyway, we got a lot more background in this episode. I loved how Aithusa was brought in, and a clip of Morgana in her imprisonment. Rudan died--slightly unexpcted--and Sefa is free. Gwaine recieved an awesome part, and we got some good character development with him. So, for the characters:

Merlin is definatly becoming more of a bold man. His bravery and loyalty seems to get better through each episode. Arthur is an idiot. He's a jerk to Merlin and won't listen to anything his best friend says.

Gwaine was amazing. We can obviously see that he doesn't have a super bad view on magic. He stays calm when he sees the Euchdag...I mean, he couldn't really move...but he still could have freaked out. We could tell that he felt pity for the creature, and considered it a friend, shown when he prepares to defend it. Gwaine acts with maturity and kindness in this episode.

Gwen was epic. She clearly showed that she could run Camelot by herself, and could do it with inteligence (cough cough.) Her plan to lure in Rudan was clever. We could see her emotion while Sefa was talking, I'm curious where the writers might go with that.

Morgana--she's crazy. I mean, wild-eyed, sick maniac kind of crazy. When she was "killed" I was just overwhelmed with joy...Because you know--she's the bad guy...then I realized it was too simple, and too good to be true. :(

Mordred was interesting. I'm kind of confused where he stands. I can't really trust him with that creepy smile, and obviously...the vision where he...kills Arthur. I was shocked when he stabbed Morgana! I think his intentions are perhaps... good...for now...

I loved how they brought in Aithusa, it was really well done. I was wanting to hear her talk! Oh well....

My only critisism is that Percival didn't really go searching for Gwaine...he was kind of like, "Yeah, he disapeared two days ago...walked away into a part of the cave--didn't come back--I didn't follow him...I thought it might be dangerous..." but other than that Percival was epic!

The episode was perfectly paced, great story--I would give it a ten out of ten! Perfect episode!
