User blog comment:Emily Windsnap/Why Lancelot Du Lac is annoying/@comment-4135736-20120213101938

I totally agree with you, Lancelot Du Lac was annoying and it is one of my least favourite episodes (my other least favourite episodes are Beauty and the Beast, Goblin's Gold and The Wicked Day). I hated how Lancelot's character was destroyed when he was reduced to a slave of Morgana and it seemed to be a poor attempt to show the love triangle from the Legend. I also didn't like how Merlin couldn't realise that Gwen was enchanted and didn't notice the bracelet she was wearing, he actually had the ability to feel objects with magic, this episode contradicted that. I think this episode would have been better if Lancelot wasn't killed off in The Darkest Hour and the love triangle could have been shown in two ways: 1st: Gwen getting closer to Lancelot after the events of His Father's Son when Arthur temporarily ending his relationship with her, then show Lancelot getting angry when hearing that Gwen will marry Arthur, and show Gwen and Lancelot kissing each other in their own will and show Lancelot actually feeling guilty and commiting suicide. 2nd: show Lancelot and Gwen getting kidnapped by Morgana, show her enchanting them to fall in love with each other, and show the love triangle. I just hope that in Series 5, Arthur learns the truth that Gwen was enchanted and that Lancelot was a shade and maybe show Lancelot returning from the dead one last time to redeem his actions in Lancelot Du Lac so that he is once again remembered by Camelot as the brave, noble knight, not as the treacherous person he became under Morgana's control.
