The snake bites were magic! That's why the knights recovered so fast. Morgana did that on purpose; it was a TRAP.

And they DID question Merlin using his "magic GPS" as you put it. Arthur thought he was nuts, they were just all worked up about Gwen and Merlin bascially told them all to suck it up and listen to him for once.

And Gwen only hates Arthur because Morgana brainwashed her; that was the whole point of the mandrake root. It makes people nuts. Remember what it did to Uther? He thought his dead wife was IN A WELL!

Also, there was a hit that Gwen had changed to Morgana's side. Notice she didn't say "Morgana enchanted the sword to GUARD me" or "To make sure you don't get through"; she said, "to PROTECT me." Hint-hint. It's called being subtle, and is a VERY clever writing-trick.

And I disagree about it not being well written. It's one of the best written ones thus far. I wasn't terribly impressed with Death Song of Uther Pendragon and I had a slight "meh" feeling about The Disir, only because I didn't like the title characters and the writing felt slower to me and harder to follow. Another's Sorrow was pretty great, though! Anywho, this one was actually EXTREMELY well written from a writer's standpoint. You might not like the episode but you can't say it wasn't well written! From a techical term/standpoint it WAS.
