User blog:Morganaforever/Episode Review: The Dark Tower

This episode was AWESOME!!!! Where should I begin...the adventurous quest? The suspense? The awesome Gwen/Morgana moments? Elyan's shocking death? The twist in the end? Queen Mab? Everything was EPIC!

So...Morgana uses a snake that causes havoc to the knights, and allows her to take Guinevere with her in the Dark Tower. Meanwhile, Merlin, Arthur, Elyan and the others embark on a quest to save her. Meanwhile, in the Dark Tower, Gwen is held in a room filled with Mandrake Roots. She sees evil forms of her favorite ones, calling to her and then laughing at her. Every once in a while, Morgana comes, invites her to dinner, treats her nicely, and speaks to her sweetly, before sending her back inside the room.

Her plan: It was a psychological one, this time, and not one involving gathering an army and attacking Arthur. She made Gwen hate all those she loved, using their illusions, and played with her mind, when at the same time she treated her very nicely, like how they once were in series 1 and 2. To Gwen, Morgana was now her saviour and her one and true friend. After this, Morgana sent Gwen back to Camelot, in order for her to be her personal spy.

Meanwhile, Merlin met with Queen Mab, a nice little evil miss, who told him that one of them will not return from this quest alive. Percival is the one getting all the hits and injuries, as usual(seriously, why???) and then Elyan rushes and fights an enchanted sword, which is guarding Gwen. He defeats it, but at the cost of his life....everyone then returns back to Camelot, Elyan is sent to meet Lancelot and Freya, and his death is mourned...But at the same time, Gwen (who is smirking like series 3 Morgana and series 4 Agravaine, if I'm not mistaken?) goes to meet with Morgana, who is now the only person she can trust, and the two plan Arthur's doom...

Awesomeness to the max! Morgana's scheme was really awesome. The acting was BRILLIANT by everyone (Angel finally showed us what she's got! All her haters have no right to speak about her acting skills right now) and I FINALLY got the impression that Elyan is a good brother. RIP Elyan!!! Don't worry, you'll be with Lancelot and Freya, two others that who lost their lives tragically.

What do you think about the episode? INTENSE AND AWESOME!!!!!! I liked it. Mediocre. I hated it.

I liked it a lot! It is a 9/10 from me. Comments are always welcome!
