User blog comment:Morganaforever/Episode Review: With All My Heart/@comment-5465618-20121202223121

Thanks again Chris for a great review and good questions. I agreed most of what you said except for Aithusa  not obeying the command of Merlin who is the Dragonlord. We should be grateful the writers haven't taken that powerful part of his character away. I also found this episode so so as well. There are only two parts I really enjoyed watching. One was when Merlin had to again remind Aithusa who he is. Second the scene between Morgana and Mordred. I really liked what he said to her, which totally threw her off. You could see that Mordred is sly and very tricky. He can't be trusted, and that seems to be very clear to Merlin. I am glad that writers have not made him prey to Mordred's possibly fake loyalty. Although I really like what Mordred said to Morgana  it was  good and showed his wisdom as a Druid. The Druid's are peaceful people and what he said was fitting and quite true.

Initially,  I liked the scene with Dragoon and Dochraid because Dragoon was more serious. However, I just wished he just killed that but ugly witch off -- just be done with her. Like Gaius said, she could not be trusted. Why keep her alive? This would have prevented the incident with Merlin and Arthur falling off the cliff. Why in the hell can't the writers be consistent? My point is that they give Merlin all this power to be a bad ass and then they make him afraid. And  after he nearly loses his life with Dochraid creature he doesn't complete the job when  he strikes back at her. What the hell --can't she be killed?

Although,  I found the scene with Dolma funny and entertaining. I think it was another opportunity  wasted on not revealing Merlin's magic. Also I did not mind this scene when the Dolma and Arthur helped unleashed Gwen from Morgana's spell. However, I was hoping for something more poignant, but no it  was just silly. Like Gwen apologizing for all the harm  or questioning what had  happened  to her -- some remorse.

Over all the episode was weak, and it seems like the writers just wrote whatever to get this show over with. So, I guess I am disappointed again, because I was hoping for more. Next week again, possibly Merlin losing his life and  Morgana on the lo0se -- to the very end. :-(
