User blog comment:Tulipclaymore/Well, that was unexpected (death in episode 4x02)/@comment-60.241.52.91-20111009142416

It was such a shock to me *tear*. I doubt he is dead (or gone in any way) forever. At least, I hope not. They really need to develop his (and the other knights') characters more. I also feel like the bond that had formed between Merlin and Lancelot (and also that between Merlin and Gwaine) has been lost a bit since their main episodes. I realise that that can't focus on them too much, but I feel like they could allow each of their individual personalities come out a bit more. Nevertheless, it was a great start to the season :).
