Good points Knightofthecart, I too was disappointed in this episode, not only because it has changed my mind about Gwen being evil (I thought it was a good twist at first but now I think it was pointless), it has also changed my opinion of Series 5, at first I thought Series 5 was better than Series 4 but I now think its even worse and almost as bad as Series 2 (as interesting as it was, the filler episodes let the season down).

What on earth has happened to this show, back in Series 1 and Series 3, the storylines were so great and interesting (with the exception of Morgana turing evil) now it has become really dull and unbelievable, what a shame. Its probably about time they just move on with this show - reveal Merlin's magic, make Merlin more than a servant as well as make him more independant, make Arthur more clever and get Gwen back to normal.
