Agreed! There was no spark between them before and suddenly they kissed? No flirting, no staring at each other, nothing. Arthur didn't think Gwen was attractive, Gwen was irritated by Arthur arrogant behavior. And suddenly, they kissed! It looked like Arthur falling in love with Gwen just because she yelled at him.

Not my favorite scene.

To me, it felt like they were pushing the Arthur/Guinevere relationship because they felt that they had to have it because of the legends. Pity. It was interesting in the first season when it looked like they might be toying with non-traditional pairings, like Merlin and Guinevere, and Arthur and Morgana.
