User blog comment:Shutupmerlin8/one of the knights should've found out about merlin's magic earlier this season/@comment-5659316-20121128022338

Eh, shoulda coulda woulda (shrugs). There's plenty that SHOULD have happened on the show. Personally, I think The Lady of the Lake should have been the season 2 two part episode instead of the one about the troll. And I think someone should have thrown a bucket of cold water at Howard Overman the minute he presented the notes for the script for A Harold of the New Age. But nit-picking over little things like that does no good. What's done is done, and overall it's still a pretty amazing show! Flaws and all. Frankly, a lot of people thought Gwaine should find out, but with all the complaints that the show was becoming too "repeative", maybe the writers just thought people would complain it was a repeat of Lancelot and Merlin's relationship. Though, personally, I think they were afraid if we saw how much fun Gwaine's knowing about Merlin's magic was, we'd be able to better tell how dull and "gary-stuish" Lancelot's humourless, bland, "perfect", overly-accepting reaction to Merlin's magic really was.
