Board Thread:Rewatching "Merlin" - Season Five/@comment-5102537-20140308144416/@comment-58.6.236.54-20140309085741

Two other things I forgot to mention that felt out of step in this episode 1. The misplaced humour and 2. OMG the BULLYING!!! it was just awful, and cringeworthy, and often when hand in hand with no. 1

The other thing that was bizarre was the sorceress, she knew who Arthur was, but barely gave Merlin the time of day, when in the past every other sorcerer (bar Morgana and Morgause) knew him as Emrys.

I notice that Howard Overman wrote this episode, AND he wrote Sins of a Father, AND Queen of Hearts AND The Wicked Day ( where Gwen has looked after him for a whole year, when he tells Arthur he's proud of him, and dies after being heartbroken by Morgana's Betrayal AND Herald of  a New Age, yet this episode doesn't refer back to any of them. Weird.

I'd like to add once again that Morgana wasn't mentioned. Not once. Weirder
