I agree, this episode wasn't that good (the only scene I really liked was the part when Gwen comforted Arthur), nowhere near as good as Arthur's Bane (both parts) or Another's Sorrow but still better than The Death Song of Uther Pendragon. As much as I love Merlin, he needs to get over himself and have some doubt about those prophecies (Mordred wanting to kill Arthur etc.), I just can't believe that he still doesn't realise that his trust in those prophecies was one of the main reasons why Morgana turned against Camelot, Gaius was RIGHT - not all prophecies can come true, Merlin should have listened to him instead of trusting Kilgharrah.

Arthur also pissed me off in this episode, how on earth will he become the greatest King of Camelot and Albion if he continues hating magic (I though his hatred for it reduced in A Herald of the New Age). Another thing I didn't like was that when Mordred was revived in the end (presumable by the Disir), the producers added all that serious music as if Mordred was currently a huge threat to Camelot, come on, Mordred is not evil yet, he saved Arthur twice so that serius music was a bit pointless and over the top.

Hopefully the next episode will be better though.
