User blog comment:Morganaforever/Episode Review: The Dark Tower/@comment-4892425-20121110231951

WARNING: Some of you are not going to like what I'm going to say here. I still want to express my right to voice an opinion, no matter how tough or rough.

I saw the comments and synopsis of 5 x 06. (I can't see episodes.) Based on that I know I couldn't watch the episode because the impulse to throw a brick at the monitor would be so great.

Morgana has graduated to a sick, sadistic _____________. (Fill in the blank for the appropriate derogatory term.) The writers has made her stop consulting Wil E. Coyote for her schemes (an improvement) but this is just vile. They've shown glimpses of Morgana's captivity to give reason for this level of cruelty, but I think the reaction is going to similiar to Uther's mess in 5 x 03.

Elyan is now dead. His send off is more akin to royalty; maybe because he was the king's brother-in-law. Lancelot had a funeral pyre in 4 x 02. At least there's a clear explanation for Gwen wearing black; it gives the appearance she's in mourning.

Now Morgana is trying to get Gwen to murder Arthur? Wow. This will be dragged out for three to four episodes. Merlin will most likely figure out the enchantment, but once people start to realize Gwen is under a spell, Morgana will try to compel Gwen to commit suicide and have it chalked up to despair over her brother's death. This is when all hell breaks loose when Gwen is free of the dark magic: She has lost her family at the hand of the twisted side of the Pendragon family. She was compelled to attempt to murder her husband. Gwen is going to be so enraged she'll take it to Morgana. One sneak peek on this blog says Gwen and Morgana will fight. I see Merlin using his magic to knock out Morgana's powers like in 4 x 13 to make this an even fight. Over three years I can see Gwen's combat skills greatly improve and this would be a doozy. At this point I can see Gwen taking Morgana out (or thinks she did). Morgana will survive, of course, but Gwen would have avenged Elyan, her father Tom, and herself. That episode is the one I can't wait to see.

But the fallout of Morgana's latest shenanigans is going to be more than Morgana anticipated. I think Arthur is going to be so furious that he'll see to it Morgana ends her days by the sword or by the stake. Gwen's abuse at Morgana's hand will be a rallying cry for all of Camelot. Arthur will call in favors from Annis, Rodor and Odin to help him. Four kingdoms would be on Morgana's tail. These people have been in fear of Morgana for so long, but it always takes one incident to say enough is enough and decide it's time to push back. Anybody who aides and abeds her is going down too.
