User blog:Morganaforever/Episode Review: Another's Sorrow

This episode was INTENSE!!!! I really liked it. Here it goes:

Well, Odin conquers Nemeth and Mithian and Rodor are brought to him. Morgana appears and makes a deal with him, and so she (as Hilda) and Mithian visit Camelot.

It is revealed that Morgana's ageing spell is quite different from Merlin's. She uses no potion and creates it all herself, and it looks like quite the painful procedure (it kinda reminds me of Morgan from the show "Camelot", she was the same whenever under a shapeshifting spell). The good thing is, Morgana now is a shapeshifter, which she also was in the legends! Yay for minor legend accuracy!

Anyway, the part that I didn't like: Gwen asking Arthur why he intends to help Mithian. It may be just me, but didn't she actually look kinda jealous? It's obviouss that Arthur helped her as a friend, and as an ally, she had no reasons for not wanting to help Mithian.

The other part I didn't like: Morgana losing the keys to Mithian. You are not a dumb guard of Camelot! You are an epic witch! :D

Anyway, soon Arthur and his men, along with Merlin, Gaius, Mithian and Morgana Hilda, head to "save" Mithian's father. In the beginning, I was like "what the hell, they've never dragged the old man along with them, what's wrong with them" but then I was like "Oh, his use for this episode is to heal Merlin, ok...". Well, Mithian makes desperate attempts to reveal Morgana's true face all the time, but she thwarts them all, one by one. Only once she manages to inform Merlin, but Morgana uses a new spell that...made Merlin run out of oxygen and faint? Something like this. The real question is...WHY DON'T YOU KILL HIM, WOMAN?

Let's continue. Arthur and his men (except from Gwaine who stayed with Merlin) arrive, and realise the trap. Arthur feels betrayed by Mithian, but as Morgana reveals herself, he looks twice as hurt. He should've been expecting it though. Anyway, to cut a long story short, Merlin arrives, saves everyone, leaves Morgana in a collapsing cave, and...to the interesting part! The Arthur vs Odin confrontation!!!

The two swordfight, and Arthur wins. He tells Odin that enough blood has been spilled. Odin says Arthur killed his son, and Arthur said Odin killed his father. Although there is mutual doubt at first, in the end they agree to live in peace... Mithian and Rodor get their kingdom back, Arthur and Gwen hang out together, and everyone lived happily ever after...

But the episode ended in a dark note. Merlin says Morgana's powers keep growing and growing, and fears the extent of her powers in the future. A nice way to end an episode coming out of a fairy tale, concerning the story until then.

What did you think about the episode? It was EPIC!!!AWESOME!!!MAGNIFICENT!!!INTENSE!!! It was fairly good. Mediocre. Baaaad. Producers really need some fresh ideas. That's it from me this week. See ya all! 20:20,10/27/2012
