User blog comment:Morganaforever/Episode Review: The Dark Tower/@comment-4879894-20121110213037

This episode reminds me The Eye of the Phoenix ( long shot on the Dark Tower ; the epicness ; the desertic land and the tricky forest) and The Tears of Uther Pendragon (of course, the mandrake roots). But these episodes are exploited in an unexpected way : The quest ended tragically by the death of Elyan, and because nobody knows that all was planned successfully by Morgana : the victory is a fake. The mandrake roots, this time, were used to drive psychologically Gwen and not to drive her mad. A traitor within the walls (again) is born, but in a way nobody was expected. Well done writers !

We were asking for a new strategy from Morgana. Here it is. We were asking for a Morgana's success. Here it is. We were asking the writers to be much aware of the whole plot. This time, at least, they did it.

A question bothering me. Nobody wonder about how easy it was, after Elyan's death, to take Gwen out the tower. They didn't meet Morgana, and nobody suspected that something got wrong. Perhaps they were to concerned about Elyan.

You're right, it was an awesome and thrilling episode.
