I agree with those that have said Gwen always came into her own when she worked as part of a team. I always loved her scenes with Merlin (The Camelot Detective Agency) days, when together they always seemed to be on the ball, of the latest Camelot mystery. Merlin-Gwen was my first ship on Merlin, I adored their chemistry and the way they seemed to look out for each other. As the show went on Arthur came between them in a way, but there always seemed to be some highlights in most series.

Series five though was a huge disappointment, they just didn't get anything worth while. It was back to being all about Arthur, Merlin's total obsessive relationship with his destiny and Arthur. I agree with Issy I wanted to slap Merlin at times, as he seemed so uncaring towards Gwen, and whether he healed her or not. Then at the end he actually had a line with Mordred about just wanting his friends to be safe! What the hell was that about, when at times he acted as if he couldn't give a toss at all. Just bad writing again sadly. They just had no consistency at all.
