Board Thread:Rewatching "Merlin" - Season Five/@comment-5102537-20140405091322/@comment-24691863-20140406122703

This is a strong one, and sad. Gwen was at her best here, resisting Morgana's mind torture but suffering from it. The friendship of the knights, their love for Gwen, Merlin's leadership, the relationship between Gwen and Elyan - all of this was impressive. And I agree with Merlinarthur that it was a sad shock to lose Elyan.

The fact, which we see at the very end, that Morgana succeeded in brainwashing Gwen was very upsetting. Though the following episodes in which Gwen was trying to kill Arthur are very good, they have always disturbed me. The series doesn't really follow up after Gwen is cured by Dolma in the few episodes that remain. And I completely ignore this period in her life in Merlin - After. I just don't know how to deal with it so I pretend it didn't happen, other than writing about her grief over losing Elyan.

I'm looking forward to more comments,
