Board Thread:Rewatching "Merlin" - Season Four/@comment-5102537-20140201134903/@comment-94.6.243.171-20160804214438

I always believed that Merlin had told Gwen to make her way to Ealdor, and stay with his mother Hunith. That is where she ended up at the end of The Sword in the Stone, and it makes sense that he would do that.

I enjoyed this episode, loved the Merlin-Gwen reunion I always enjoy seeing Merlin heal people. Arthur was a pig to Merlin through a lot of series four. It never made any sense to me that Merlin still had such undying loyalty to someone who constantly put him down. Also by the latter of the series Agravaine was a real annoyance.

Likes others have said I liked Mithian right from the start. I loved that she recognised how important Merlin was in his own right. While he didn't treat her especially brilliant, I think it was mainly Arthur he was getting at, rather than Mithian. He was just protecting Gwen's position at the end of the day.

But I thought it proved how good Mithian was that she had no bad feeling at the end of the episode, and even tried to understand Arthur's viewpoint. I really felt for her when she said that she too would give up her kingdom to be so loved. In my headcanon she marries Merlin, I always thought she would be better with him, than Arthur anyway!
